CQ and RV.

Which region is the BR base game?

 

[GermanTacos]

What DLC routes do you own and what's the base game?

I have a retail BR cart with CQ and RV, and a Special Edition download, both US.

 

[KunoichiZ]

Which region is the BR base game?

Same setup as GermanTacos, actually. I can also test the Japanese version (BR retail, downloaded) as well.

 

[GermanTacos]

If we're counting the versions I have via CIA, I also have a JP Special Edition, JP Fanslation, and EUR Special Edition as well.

 

[DeathChaos]

Ok, Luma3DS setup for layeredfs is;
sd:/luma/titles/<titleID>/romfs/<stuffhere>

For the USA versions, BR's title ID is 0004000000179400, CQ is 0004000000179600 and SE is 0004000000179800

So if we wanted to test out a CQ route hack on BR base game, place this romfs folder on;

sd:/luma/titles/0004000000179400/

Note that the CQ chapter 6 is already ingame despite not having the DLC, so we're doing a 2 part test on CQ, a chapter 6 hack, to ensure the hack is loading, and a chapter 7 hack to test if DLC route hacking works with Luma3DS.

Remember that this is Luma3DS v7.0+ only, and remember to enable game patching!

Just pick branch of Fate and use these files, it'll be very obvious that the game is being tampered with.

Nevermind.

 

[DeathChaos]

Branch of Fate then which route? CQ as DLC?

Yes.

 

[KunoichiZ]

Yes.

Are there any obvious changes in CQ chapter 6? It's been forever since I first played CQ.

Yes, Very.

 

[GermanTacos]

Yes, Very.

I'm not seeing any changes in Chapter 6, neither in my Special Edition or my Birthright cartridge.

 

[KunoichiZ]

Same. I even did a side-by-side comparison, with the hacked game and a clean copy, no changes.

 

[DeathChaos]

Did you enable game patching in Luma3DS settings?

The directory for BR should be;
sd:/luma/titles/0004000000179400/romfs/

I'll check to see if I packed the correct files.

Yeah, I was using the same game with another hack about an hour ago.

 

[DeathChaos]

Hmm, seems I packed the wrong files, lemme fix that.

While not related to Fates, I just died of laughter because of the GIF in your sig.

 

[DeathChaos]

Ok, Chapter 6 should look like this;

Chapter 7 should look like this;

(Tested on the SE since that's the only thing I have access to at the moment)

Chapter 6 worked! Playing through it right now and will test Chapter 7 in a few minutes.

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

Chapter 7 did not load the extra characters on BR base game. @DeathChaos25 It looks like it just might work on the SE.

Ok, I still have one trick up my sleeve.

Download this totally not code.bin file and place it in the same directory as the romfs folder, so it'd be
sd:/luma/titles/0004000000179400/totallynotcode.bin/

 

[GermanTacos]

Same, getting chapter 6, but not 7. Downloading code.bin now.

EDIT: Same as Kunoichi, "Failed to read file", then back to the main menu.
