[Anyelou]

Hello, I followed the tutorial, no fault, but I could not access the texts of the game, instead I got these nearly 10,000 files, it is normal?

The game is Final Fantasy Explorer

I was trying to randomize a Pokemon game. I followed the tutorial as good as I could. After I built the *.3ds file, this happens:

I can load the game in emuNAND of Gateway, the banner's there. But as soon as I launch the game, I get the error: The game card was removed. Press home button to return to Home Menu. And I'm back in sysNAND.

What mistake could I have made that let to that error?

@Asia81 Is there a way to get the DecryptedRomFS.bin, DecryptedBanner.bin, and DecryptedExeFS.bin *without* your Toolkit automatically extracting the contents of DecryptedRomFS.bin and corrupting the files with Japanese names, and spending time doing what I'll end up deleting and redoing with the included RomFS Extractor designed for those RomFSes?

Why do I need to use a Setup since 4.8? I'm not really trusting anything that has something to do with "hacking" and requires me to use admin rights on my Windows PC... Besides, VirusTotal shows a malware in that package, not sure if this is a false positive or a real thing now...

It install just all tools needed as ctrtool.
It's just because I want the least amount of files in the main directory:

And the main program will load tools from the HackingToolkit3DS folder, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HackingToolkit3DS\ctrtool.exe
Actually it's:
"%PROGRAMFILES%\HackingToolkit3DS\ctrtool.exe" -p --ncch=0 --romfs=DecryptedRomFS.bin %NomD%

There is no viruses, but if you don't want trust me, so... don't use it.

When i use HackingToolkit3DS.exe to extract the cxi it gives an error saying it can't find the directory to the specified file, can anybody help?

Screen of your folder please.
Make sure your CXI have no special characters, nor spaces in the name.

Have you posted sources for the binaries you include in your pack? If not would you be willing to do so?

You, and @EpicLPer
There is no source.
Actually the Setup is compiled using Inno Setup Compiler, and the main tool is firstly a batch script compiled in exe using an own pro version of a Batch Compiler.

Delete your ExtractedRomFS folder, and extract your DecryptedRomFS.bin using RomFS Extractor.
And NO NEED TO PM ME.

I don't help for these kind of thing since it's due to your edit or anything else not related to my tool.
And I don't even know what you edited :/

Not now, but it's planned.
And if your japanese names are corrupted by CtrTool (so not MY tool), try what I said above about RomFS Extractor.

It's just because I want the least amount of files in the main directory:

As I said, it creates a bit of weird feelings here when using a thing that tries to use admin rights.
But anyways, just to keep "the main directory clean" isn't a good excuse tbh, just make a sub-folder called "tools" or something in there, has the same effect... And is portable...

 

[Asia81]

So don't use it... It's as simple as that.

isn't a good excuse tbh

I do what I want, you know?
Do your own script if you don't want use mine.

If you won't take suggestions by your users, okay then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Asia81]

Of course I take suggestions.
I already took some suggestions.
I will see if I can remove admin rights.
But this is all I can do for you.

If you're trying to put files into either the Program Folder x86 (for 32bit applications) or Program Files (for 64bit) you won't have much luck without those.

Why making it more complicated than it has to be?

1. Thank you. I await that update.
2. I know it's crtool, I was referring that your tool triggers the automatic extraction.
3. I just force-quit your tool, then delete what it extracted to save time and space.

Now that is actually pretty nifty. I can work with that much better than my packing tool.
If it works, I'll share with you the website for my packing tool.

I'm sure it's normal.
Delete your ExtractedRomFS folder, and extract your DecryptedRomFS.bin using RomFS Extractor.
And NO NEED TO PM ME.

I'm really grateful for your help, and I'm sorry if upset you because I send PM

I did exactly what you recommended, but now I have a folder DecryptedRomFS_ with the same files as before inside.

Please tell me you have any solution.

PS: If the rom.3DS is patched to play online game, influences some of this?

 

[Asia81]

I'm sure it's normal.

So this is normal, What the problem if the game have 10000+ files?

 

[Anyelou]

So this is normal, What the problem if the game have 10000+ files?

That isn't the problem, the problem is that the files appear without extension and because of this I am unable to access the text.

If I can't extract these files without extension I have nothing to do.

 

[Asia81]

Uh... Some files doesn't have extension too, it's normal
Take GARC in Pokemon.

 

[Anyelou]

Uh... Some files doesn't have extension too, it's normal
Take GARC in Pokemon.

Ok, then its impossible translate this game?

 

[Asia81]

I don't know

 

[Anyelou]

I don't know

Ok, I dont surrender, I will find a solution for this.

Normally it is in the folder ExtractedRomFS?

 

[Asia81]

What?

 

[Anyelou]

What?

This files without extension is a normal in all extraction of RoomFS?

This is my first extraction
