ROM Hack APM MHX/MHGen Save Editor

[BlueLeafeon]

I shall answer these in the order of importance

Thank you in advance. Also, what is homebrew and cfw?

Homebrew is a custom OS that you put onto your 3DS in order to run custom, user-made applications. To use the save editor, you need this. For more information, google 3dbrew, and for any further questions about the topic, go to this thread: (which is the only noob topic I can find on the matter, even though it's in the custom frameworks section. If anyone bites you for asking about homebrew there, tell them to PM me a better place to send newbies lol)

To run the save editor, you don't actually need cfw, but that stands for custom firmware, just FYI. (I thought it meant custom frameworks and got scolded, lol.)

I don't know what you mean by Save editor, or how I import and export files.

"Save Editor" is self-explanatory. It edits your save files for Monster Hunter Generations. It is a PC-run .exe file which you can download in this topic.

In order to GET your saves, however, you need a save manager, like that of JKSM (Also linked to in the first post.) You will need homebrew to run it, but the program itself is pretty self-explanatory. Just remember that you need to export extdata, NOT save data. MHG doesn't actually have save data because they didn't want players using Power Saves.

Thanks a lot for taking time and answering my questions! So what I need to do is: install homebrew on 3ds, then download the save import/export, and then I am done?

Install homebrew on your 3DS (browserhax is best method.) Download the save import/export program, but put it on your SD card, and then download the MHG Save Editor. Once you use the JKSM (or whatever other program) to export your save data, open your SD card with your comp, find said file, and edit with the MGH Save Editor. Afterward use JKSM or whatever to import the data back. Make SURE to keep backups in case you accidentally break something. (Hasn't happened to me yet, but it's easier to revert to a backup than find out what you broke.)

If you're editing palicoes, make sure to read the FAQ in the first post of this topic.

You've been most helpful, friend. The process itself seems very easy from what you say, so now I need to find how to install this homebrew. I made a post at the link you sent me and am now waiting for answers. Sadly I suck at programming etc so I had no clue at what I was reading. Thanks a lot for your time and effort! I'll post more questions if/when I get homebrew working

Getting homebrew to work is pretty easy:
1. Download https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip
2. Unzip the contents of the starter.zip into the root of your SD card
3. Insert the SD card back into the 3DS
4. Open the web browser on your 3DS and go onto this link: https://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php

Once if finish loading, you should be able to have access to homebrew

Thanks for the reply. Does it work on 11.0.0-33E?

Alternatively, you can just scan the QR code at that link. That's what I did. lol

Thank you!

yes

Would it be possible to port this to android?

This may be a strange question, but is there a way to use this editor to create illegitimate items that I can use to speed through the offline quests? I want to complete all of the village quests but there is just so..so..so..many. Right now I'm using rank 10 weapons and rank 10 armor to get the kill quests done fast enough. My only issue is the big monsters, gathering quests and palico quests. Would it be possible to increase the stats on a weapon? To make it much more powerful to speed through the big guys? Same for the palico weapons too. As for gathering, maybe make a custom talisman with multiple illegal skills? Like all of the gathering skills +10? I don't care about not being able to use them online, this is purely for offline purposes. Hell, even to somehow blow through the 100+ training quests would be nice. I want that pretty check mark =P

Hey, for some reason my save manager wont let me export MH Gen's data. Anyone know how to fix this?

 

[Agent_hns]

Is there a way to hack gems into armor like three 3 slot gems in piece of equipment? id like to exploit that if its possible

 

[DEMONDICE]

To extend on my previous question: I already tried just adding skills to talismans. The illegal values do not carry into the game. I tried adding Thunderlord +10 and Dreadking +10, but it shows as blank ingame and the skills do not activate. So it seems like it isn't actually possible then?

@APM
I just downloaded the most recent version of the editor files, but I can for the life of me figure out how to launch the program, am I being thick and missing something entirely?

did you download source instead of the compiled exe by mistake?

Also when you export palicos, do make sure they aren't active prowler/mission/dojo/in palico slot 1 or 2 or you may end up locking the cat up.

Don't think it's possible. The game has lots of checks in place to prevent that. Your best bet is to use one of those ntr cheat plugins

It's not possible. You will crash if you try that

Game will block any illegal talismans

actually, it apparently is possible, but i'm not entirely sure how this works. probably similar to that ridiculous hacked cat people were mentioning?

I'll be going thru the weapon lists tomorrow(later today technically) after my teeth extraction since I'll be having lots of free time then!

Damn, I'd like to know how to do that haha. Exactly what I needed. Just minus the gathering aspect. I'd gladly use NTR if I could, but sadly no CFW and not available for my version =/

Dude was using a cheat plugin; more specifically the attack multiplier
