Homebrew [WIP] PHBank - Pokémon Homebrew Bank

[xan3000]

Curious, will developer take interest in adding the 'National Dex' features from the January update into the PHBank when that update comes out?

Since the games won't have the National Dex, in order to people to pay for the Bank, I do wonder if PHBank will take interest to have something like it?

 

[Rocky007]

Is it possible to transfer Items with this?
Also is it possible to use downloaded XY/ORAS or just cartidges?

Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, you'll need this installed as a CIA before you can use it on the dlc copies and as long as the pokemon being transferred is holding an item, item transfers should have no problem (but don't go transferring slobronite or sablenite to x/y or you run the risk of getting a corrupt save)

The encryption stuff on the gen7 is a bit problematic, I don't really have time to work on it atm.
And I don't really know how to work with the regional/national dexes in these games

Yeah, items are bringed alongs with the Pokémon while banking them.

There is a filter supposed to contain the new items/forms/moves/abilities in the bank and blocking the transfer to the older game.

I'm working on gen7 encryption, I'm in a very good point of development right now (only have to code RSA algorithm and make tests when my cart arrives). If I reach to get save encryption working, you'll be free to use it if at some point you have enough time to update your project

 

[Bruno_Guimaraes]

I have a quick question but that concerns me, will Pokémon Homebrew Bank be compatible with Sun and Moon?

At some point, probably. But legally speaking the games aren't even out yet, and while the datamine has given devs some insight it'll be hard to program for full support before release without risking getting yourself caught for piracy.

Also, it may not be a priority for the dev, especially this time of year when holidays are rolling around and if they're a college student finals are coming up.

Pokémon Homebrew Bank​

PHBank is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for XY and ORAS Pokémon games, just like the Pokébank, but as a free offline service.
This homebrew is not intended to cheat (not even cloning). It's just a storage solution.

The source code is available under the GPLv3 license on github, and the resources are available on github too.

What this Homebrew can do:

• Work on o3ds and n3ds!
• Navigate through the PC boxes of a XY/ORAS save and the Bank boxes.
• Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
• Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
• Select some Pokémon (with buttons) and move them to another box.
• Swap an entire box content to another one (pc <-> bank).
• Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
• Prompt a dialog to save/exit/backup during the homebrew execution.
• Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/main).
• Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bank).

How to install it:

• Just extract the archive at (to?) the root of your SD card.
• It must contains:
  • The PHBank files /3ds/PHBank/[PHBankFiles].
  • The cia installer in /cia/PHBank.cia
  • The data files /pk/[DataFiles].

How to import from <= [v1.1.4-beta-a]:

• Install PHBank normally, see above.
• Copy the bank file from /pkbank/bank to /pk/bank/bank.
• You can delete the /pkbank/ folder.

Controls:

Everywhere​

• DPad/CPad: Move the cursor inbox, change box, change pc/bank.
• L/R: Change the current box.
• LZ/RZ: Switch from PC to Bank and vice versa (can be done with Pad and/or stylus too).
• Touchscreen:
  • Move the cursor inbox.
  • Change the current box.
  • Switch PC/Bank.
  • Drag & Drop Pokémon.
  • Change the selection mode.
• Start: Open the savexit menu, for exiting or backing up.
• Select: Switch the selection mode (Single -> Quick -> Multiple).

In Single selection mode (Red):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.

In Quick selection mdoe (Blue):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.
• Y: Swap the current PC box content with the current Bank box content.

In Multiple selection mdoe (Blue):​

• Y: Activate the box selector (TODO: transform it as a button on screen).

Todo List:

• Wonder box
• Display more specific information per Pokémon (Tabs for contest/met/etc).
• Enhance more the GUI.
• When moving Pokémon with the DPad/A, switch the held Pokémon.

Nota Bene:

• I only tested this homebrew with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire on a cartridge on a n3ds (9.3+).
• Not cheat, no kidding.

Thanks to @suloku for all his work on the project.
Thanks to @Kaphotics & @Asia81 (and PKHex's contributors) for the save functions (offset, algorithms) and the data (personal, text).
Thanks to @Slashcash & @Stracker (and PCHex/PCHex++'s contributors) for their help.
Thanks to @Xenosaiga and @ihaveamac for being the cia build.
Thanks to @xerpi (and SF2D/SFTD/SFIL's contributores) for the graphic library.
Thanks to @profi200 and other people on #3dsdev who helped me.
Thanks to @smealum and @yellows8 for the exploits.

Merci !

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you lose or corrupt your save by using this homebrew. It mays contain bugs even within the normal intended use. Use it at your own risk.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP! (Hold L while launching homebrew or/and use tvds/svdt)

How do I import my bank file from normal bank to here? Also, can't seem to get this work, 11.2 basehaxx/ninjhax

 

[tsunasawad]

I hope you can do it Gocario, i got almost every pokemon and i kept in the phbank, anyway if you can't i guess i have to use the pkhex

 

[Alex Huynh]

PkHex already got an update to compatible with Pokemon SUn and Moon, i do expect PHBank to do to same very soon.

 

[TheMagicMan]

My screen turns yellow when I try to use it. I believe this is PASLR, Anyway around it?

Quick FAQ:

You can check if there is any update here (hint: none atm). I checked/compiled/messed with the code myself, but it would take some time to build knowledge on the code so I gave up for now.

EventAssistant is going to work eventually, so everyone asking WHERE IS BANK SUPPORT FOR GEN 7 can check here regularly to see if there is any update regarding Sun/Moon.

If you absolutely don't wanna wait then export your save and edit with PkHex. If you don't want to remove the sd card everytime, use FTPd (comes with the homebrew starter kit).

 

[EventAssistant]

Read-only support for gen7 is coming today on EventAssistant. Bank instead will support storing gen7 mons, but basically they'll be only copies (at the end nothing will be saved in the game, due to the read-only support).

What does this mean? If you want to backup a few gen7 mons for the future, my integrated bank will work between ten hours or so.

Help in completing crypto support is still required, I'm at a good point btw. Message me if you know how to help me.

In the future, if reading and writing becomes availble, can it import from gen 6?

Sure. It can do it right now, it's the crypto that is hurting me so much

Can't seem to get EventAssistant to launch on my n3DS 11.2... Am I doing something wrong?

If you're starting it from the hbl, you have to load Pokemon Bank when starting it.
Also, you're free to ask in EventAssistant thread to avoid flooding this topic with OTs, I suppose
