If you have a digital copy of a game and you update the version from the eshop, when you create a dump of the game will it be the updated version or just the base version before the update?

Nope updates r always a different titleid

Updates are installed as different titles.

Alright well for Umbra Moon, a Rom hack by Dio Vento. I need the game to be 1.1 when I build it. How would I do that?

The instructions say "

1. Dump and decrypt your cartridge or eShop copy of Pokémon Sun or Moon (Must match the version of the romhack) using Hourglass9. " and the hack is 1.1 lol

Trying to do this https://gbatemp.net/threads/pokémon-nova-sun-umbra-moon-fully-featured-challenging-sun-moon-romhacks.462295/

These are the instructions:
  • You need a 3DS running Luma3DS CFW. All 3DS models on firmware versions 11.3 or lower can install CFW using this guide with no additional purchases/hardware/games necessary.
  • Installed Pokémon Sun / Moon updates will cause conflicts with the Nova Sun / Umbra Moon mod. Uninstall any Sun / Moon updates before using a CIA or .3DS build of Nova Sun / Umbra Moon.
  • Download the Pokémon Nova Sun Distribution Pack or Pokémon Umbra Moon Distribution Pack. Copy all of the files from the .7z to a folder on your PC.
  • Dump and decrypt your cartridge or eShop copy of Pokémon Sun or Moon (Must match the version of the romhack) using Decrypt9WIP.
  • Place your decrypted .3ds or .cia file in the same folder as "setup.bat".
  • Run "setup.bat".
  • Enter Y to extract the decrypted ROM. You can now delete the ROM from Steps 2 and 3.
  • Select which Encounter Build you would like to use. If you enter an invalid build or leave this blank, your wild encounters will be unmodified.
  • Enter Y if you would like to randomize anything in your game. After randomizing, exit PK3DS. If you don't want to randomize, enter N. It is recommended that you use the Leveled or Expanded builds as a base for randomization of Wild Pokémon.
  • Select which file format you would like to rebuild as.
  • If you rebuilt as CIA, copy the new .CIA file to your SD card and install it with FBI. Back up your save first, installing the modded CIA will overwrite your save!
  • If you rebuilt as .3DS for Citra, open the .3DS file in a hex editor, search for hex values 01 01 80 E0 04 20 80 E5 1E FF 2F E1 and change to 01 01 80 E0 00 F0 20 E3 1E FF 2F E1. This will remove the outline effect.
  • If you rebuilt as .3DS for Gateway, your ROM needs to be re-encrypted. Copy the resulting .3DS file to your SD Card, and use Decrypt9WIP to run "CXI Encrypter". After re-encrypting your .3DS file, copy it to your Gateway MicroSD. Sky3DS cannot run romhacks.
  • Back up your game save with JKSM, start a fresh save file, and enjoy the mod!
It says your copy has to match the version of the hack, which i believe is 1.1

I believe thats why mine didnt work and i got the infinite 3ds load screen

Which one are you trying? I will try it as well and see what to do. And you read that you can't have Umbra and Moon CIA installed at the same time, right? Same with Sun and Nova? Also, why are you doing it this way versus the SaltySD way? If you're using Luma3DS, you don't need SaltySD. It works with Luma3DS right out of the box.

I want to randomize the wild encounters, So I need to do it the CIA way.

Just looking a the archive, you could probably put the exefs and romfs folders in Umbra_Moon/Extracted_ROM and see if it'll work. Or just then look at the bat file to see what else will be done to it.

So, the actual instructions, which recommend HourGlass9 although, same thing, also says "Must match the version of the romhack". How do I know which versino of the romhack I just downloaded? Changelog? Do I need version 1.4 of the game?

I have no idea. I thought it said 1.1 somewhere on the thread.

O. Hmm. Well I guess we can start with this:

Try to build a CIA and tell me if you get any errors from the command prompt when it tries to build the CIA.

I mean the directions say to not install any updates...so hold on let me get my 3ds

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

and you deleted moon before installing or running umbra, right?
