It should, yes

 

[LowEndC]

It should, yes

when it comes to this particular field,
"Should" isnt good enough lol
ive used patches in updates before that only work with the first version of the game, not a revision or 1.1
guess ill just have to test it out on both.

FAQ

Spoiler

Do i have to start NTR everytime before starting MH Stories?
Yes. You don't have to, if you use the luma or CIA method.

Will i lose my savefile when patching?
No, savedata is stored in extdata which does not get removed when un-/reinstalling a cia.
Just in case make a backup with JKSM (extdata) to be 100% safe.

Can i play online with this?
Yes you can.

Will i get banned for using this?
A ban is very unlikely.

What's luma/FBI/NTR?
If you have to ask this consider reading basic guides about 3ds homebrew and cfws.

Can i use this with HANS?
You can try to patch the romfs.bin with provided files and use that with HANS. We did not test that and won't provide support for it.

[Negronicus]

So is no one else having issues with tournaments? Why is my game crashing each time?

Having the exact same issue here, latest Luma, latest b9s. @dasding, is there a workaround? I wish that this could be completed, since the JPN version has content that other regions do not have.

Edit: I have attached my crash dump (it's for Luma 9.1, but Luma 10.0 has the same error anyway).

Hey, I just thought of something... Did you try disabling ARM11 exception handlers in the Luma config menu?

Edit: Just tried it; doesn't help.

 

[Negronicus]

Finally someone whos going through what I am! I love this game more than any other title on 3ds. Can someone please help us?

 

[Negronicus]

@dasding hey is there anything youve heard about this?

 

[Maq47]

@dasding hey is there anything youve heard about this?

If you're playing via .cia installed with the patched v1.3 update, you can just delete the update in FBI, then do the tournaments with the straight JPN .cia. That might be the only workaround right now, sadly. @dasding hasn't been on any of his accounts in 5-6 months (his reddit account, /u/_dasding, hasn't seen a post in 8 months)

 

[dasding]

I'll try to find and fix the issue. No promises though.

 

[dasding]

@Negronicus @MarcusCarter the issue should be fixed now. please redownload the patch.zip and extract the content into the usual path.

 

[Negronicus]

Really?! I love you

Thank you SO much! It works great now!

Any chance this will be completed? The other regions will never see the JP exclusive content sadly. Maybe the mobile version can help you finish the remaining untranslated parts.

AFAIK the mobile version didn't get the missing updates either
