I injected the manual of Ace Attorney Trilogy as a test.

To edit a manual, you need to have a decrypted Manual.bcma.
Then extract it with DarcTool, you will get some arc (darc, actually) files:
- BcmaInfo.arc
- Common_texture.arc
- EUR_en_index.arc
- EUR_en_large.arc
- EUR_en_small.arc
- EUR_fr_index.arc
- EUR_fr_large.arc
- EUR_fr_small.arc
(Maybe many more, depend on the manual).

Then decompress them with LZ10 Decompression (use 3DS Explorer) and re-extract them with DarcTool again.
Now you have your extracted Manual, but I never tried to edit one, so I don't know much on this.

You can also create a blank manual with the SDK ManualTool editor, but find it yourseld (blablabla that chaos site, blablabla)...

Hi, I'm translating my new3DS to Polish and the "Health and Safety Information" is a manual file, I've extracted the .arc files:

and there are .bclyt files inside the folders for example "USA_en_large\blyt":
upload_2017-2-2_5-59-45.png

so what now, how to edit them, so I can translate it like on my old3DS:

Step 1: Become a nintendo dev
Step 2: Get the Manual editor thingy
Step 3: (I haven't edited/made a Manual since this thread was made, sooo-) I believe open the .bclyt files
Step 4: read the in-app manual to learn how to use the program
Step 5: Edit them manuals

there's unfortunately currently no community-made .bclyt editor, although work is being done on RE-ing the *clyt/*flyt format.

for now, you will indeed have to use SDK tools.

There's nothing else to talk about. Get the SDK tools, either legally or illegally, completely up to you. Once you have them, just fuck around with the program, it's pretty easy to use.

You're seriously borring.
Please stop to ask
I know sorry but why can't you? You shared other SDK programs, and they are great to, but all I want to do is to translate as much as possible on my old and new 3DS, it was my dream from a long time, and don't forget you started making this dream a reality, with this tutorial:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-edit-the-homemenu.424449/
so if you really can't share, can you give me a link where you got it in PM?
(btw, still looking for banner editor and lz unpacker).

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
