@Red3agle To get Star Sapphire? Or is it your own patch?
I dumped my own rom and yes for star sapphire i followed these instructions


  • Install Homebrew on your 3DS. A console on version 10.2 or lower is required, and there is currently no way to install Homebrew on 9.9-10.2 unless you already had Homebrew.
  • Click the banner at the top of this thread or the link at the bottom to download the .zip file for the hack you want to play.
  • Copy Braindump to your 3ds homebrew folder and use it to dump your retail (cartridge or eshop) copy of Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
  • Use "RomFS Extractor.exe" in Asia81's Hacking Toolkit to extract the romfs.bin file generated by Braindump. Rename the romfs_ folder to romfs.
  • Copy the romfs folder from the Distribution .zip to the Pack Hack folder. Let it overwrite everything.
  • Run "RomFS Builder.exe" and point it at the "romfs" folder, save the resulting file as "rruby.romfs" for Omega Ruby or "ssapphire.romfs" for Alpha Sapphire. Note it's rruby and ssapphire.
  • Open "rruby.romfs" or "ssapphire.romfs" in a hex editor (I recommend HxD) and delete up to line FF0. The region you are deleting should start at the first line and end here. Save and exit HxD.
  • Copy the contents of the HansPack folder to the root of your 3DS SD Card.
  • Copy your "*.romfs" file to sd:/hans. NOT sd:/3ds/hans!
  • Boot homebrew, click on the Star Sapphire or Rutile Ruby launch banners, and enjoy your game! You'll need to delete your existing save if you want to start a new adventure, so back it up with Save Data Manager. Do not delete your save with a save manager! Delete it from within the game itself otherwise it will become corrupted and not boot!
Edit: I did rename my sspahire to the game title id as well as the code.bin to the main title id
 
Same result, tried all regions, including ---, and when the game doesn't load, I hear a click just as it turns to blackscreen.

@Red3agle I've followed pretty much the exact same steps as you have, (apart from some differences as my game is Neo Y). Unfortunately I'm not too sure on what the HxD file for Star Sapphire actually looks like. Have you tried asking around the Star Sapphire release thread?


The glitchy line is definitely to do with the .romfs file not being read correctly, and thats usually due to the 0x1000 bytes not being deleted.

I'll just delete the first 1000 bytes and see what happens
 
Here are Pokemon Neo Y and Pokemon Star Sapphire HBL shortcuts + smdh files that I've made for my own usage.

Download here.
Extract the .zip to the root of SD Card. You need to have the mod(s) prepared and .romfs file(s) in hans folder already.

I Just Regonize That Until I Fixed It At Night Your Able To Change Only One Starter

Btw Can Someone Make A Icon For My Pokemon Y Extreme Randomizer Am Publishing It In A Bit
 
My only thought is that maybe it's because I dumped the ROM with update data. . ? But I've heard mixed things about it. Some day you need to delete it, other as day you don't.
@ZedMania did you do this too?
 
@The_Master Uh... I believe since I transferred to a new SD card so that I could put the Neo Y .romfs file on, the update data is stuck with my old SD Card. Regardless though, I still haven't managed to get it working. I've read in places that update data doesn't matter, and I personally don't think it does.

Btw what hax do you use @The_Master ?
