ROM Hack Question About the main file in exefs folder

[zellfy]

Is there someone know how to edit the code in main file of exefs folder.
Or some tools to do it.
Please, I need to translate a game to another lanuage, so I have to rewrite the code so that I can set the path to my own font Atlas.

 

[zellfy]

Is there anyone can solve the problem?

What you need:
> nx2elf & elf2nso for decompressing and compressing main file
https://github.com/shuffle2/nx2elf
https://github.com/switchbrew/switch-tools

In attachment i uploaded compiled binaries for this tools.
Decompress.bat will decompress main to main.elf
Compress.bat will compress main.elf to main.nso - just rename to main
Ignore errors if it will show something - it's still good to edit.

> IDA Pro 7 (not free version) with SwitchIDAProLoader or nxo64.py for deassembling (it's loading original main file, don't try to open with them decompressed main files)
https://github.com/reswitched/loaders/
https://github.com/pgarba/SwitchIDAProLoader

And just wait until app will show "idle" in left lower corner of app (it will play windows jingle). If you do something in IDA when it's deassembling code, it will slow down dramatically.

Maybe it's not compatible with chinese locale. Change to English.

Which redists are needed to run nx2elf?
I have installed c++ redist 2015-2022 for both x86 and x64 and it still doesn't launch because of missing the following files:
UCRTBASED.DLL
MSVCP140D.DLL
VCRUNTIME140D.DLL

Thanks in advance.

I always just used hactool to decompress main, if that's any easier

I`m lost, what should I do?

I used Il2CppDumper GUI 2.1.0 with main(.nso) and global-metadata.dat and got these files
Can I continue with main(.nso)?

This "advise" is outdated as f.
For IDA use this, read readme

https://github.com/TSRBerry/nxo64

Then when loading original main it should detect by default that it's compatible with nxo64, don't change architecture

I`ve never installed requirements.txt and got a few error messages and managed to solve ... done?

for someone like me
with command prompt
①pip install --upgrade pip
②install this https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe

after installing nxo64, I tried to open a plain main file and got this error message
what`s going on?
