@rusyaas
Woaaaah you changed the surfing sprite? I wasn't expecting that haha

@Pokeduty
I followed step by step what you said and in the end I loaded my edited star version and my game wouldn't load, it's just a black screen on citra. Is there a step I'm missing? D:

I'll check to see if anything is missing, in the meantime in what version where you 0.1C or 0.1D?

0.1C

 

[Pokeduty]

0.1C

@Chloe
As I can see there is nothing missing, I think the problem is that you are in the version 0.1C and it's required the 0.1D before applying the 0.1E patch.

Download link v0.1E only (11.6MB) : [MEGA]
Requires v0.1D patch (245.3MB): [MEGA]

You can either apply the two patches yourself or I heard that the version 0.1D .3ds is downloadable in a certain iso site.

Do I do the same exact thing to apply to two patches? Sorry, I'm not very good at stuff like this ><

I'll try to make a tutorial sorry if I it's a little confusing im not very good at it

First of all you'll need your .3ds file and the HackingToolKit (Can't post link here I think but you can find it easy on google), I recommend using the HackingToolKit V9 at least it was the one I used.
After having all of this you need to:

1: Open HackingToolkit3DS (It'll ask to open the SetupUS first if Im not mistaken)
2: Chose the option that says "Enter D for extract a .3ds file"
3: Enter the name of the .3ds file without the spaces and the .3ds in the name (For example if your file is named PokemonStars.3ds you only write PokemonStars)
4: On the "Decompress the code.bin file(n/y)?" enter Y
5: After all this wait untill it shows the message that it as finished
6: Now on the same folder you should have a ExtractedRomFS and a bunch other files
7: Copy and paste the new ExtractedRomFS you just downloaded and overwrite the old files when it asks
8: After all done and overwriten open the HackingToolkit3DS once again
9: This time chose the option "Enter R to rebuild a .3ds file"
10: Enter the name of the .3ds file once again without spaces and the .3ds in the name
11: Wait until it's finished and there will be a file with the same name as the old one but with and "_edited" after if I am not mistaken, and that file is the one you use to play with the patch already applied

Sorry if this tutorial is a bit confused but I tried to explain the best I could

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wq5QAX7LXweRL6BLOCI-OebNN2T9C-tG/view?usp=sharing @MegaKyurem have created the tutorial for rayless ruby and alpha shapphire, but This process works great also for SM and usum and is equal to all the steps that you wrote, only that is done like a video tutorial

@Chloe
Yeah, for example you're on 0.1C you download the 0.1D and follow those steps I said and you'll get the game with the 0.1D patch.
After having the game in 0.1D do the exact same steps but applying the files from the patch 0.1E

Oh nice, a video tutorial is better then a simple written tutorial I guess

@rusyaas

I guess I found a bug at The Surf Association on Heahea City, our character becomes invisible at the inside, at least it doesn't crash the game, I could enter and exit without a problem, except not seeing my character

 

[rusyaas]

Hi. I got the surf assoc place fixed. But to release too much patches would be a lil distasteful. And it would increase the file size of the hotfix too much.

However, I did pass the fixed garcs to @raltsbreeder , the guy who compiled my mod and reupload it to that iso site.
So if file size isnt too big of a deal for you, you might as well get the rom from that site. It's v0.1E + phyco's new zygarde + some unreleased stuff and text changes.

He should be posting soon when he has uploaded the full stuff.

The real update garc will be released this weekend along with the patchnotes.

 

[raltsbreeder]

Hey it's me, Raltsbreeder again.
A compiled .3DS version of Pokemon Star v0.1E has been uploaded at that certain iso site, ready to be used with Citra Emulator.

So the .3ds on that iso site already includes phyco's new zygarde and other stuff that the version we download here don't?

the game crashes on 3ds

 

[Toady231]

the game crashes on 3ds

It's been said that it's only a citra based game. It does not work on 3ds.

my theory is that the 3ds system itself can detect if certain 3ds games overworlds has changed and cant handle it so it crashes

If that was the case, don't you think luma would've patched that?

it’a just that the console can’t handle the overworld thingy

this is not a firmware problem . luma only deals with firmware i believe
