ROM Hack 2 question

manpaint · May 7, 2016

1.Is it possible to dump a rom (.3ds) using a cartige? (I plan to dump xorpads and need an albw usa rom)
2.When you use hans for modded game do you just put the game files (decrypted) or you need to compile the romfs?

1. Yes, with the Gateway launcher. Works fine.
2. I don't know, let's wait for someone else replying here

Here's a guide for you to follow if you don't have Gateway: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Dumping-Game-Cartridges

i think u need to compile as i learned from Dio Vento's Tutorial:
can be found here

Install Homebrew on your 3DS. A console on version 10.7 or lower is required. Different system versions may require hardware such as Cubic Ninja to install Homebrew.

Download the .zip file for the hack you want to play from the bottom of this thread.

Copy the contents of the "HansPack" folder to your 3DS SD card. Do not skip this step, even if you don't need to use Braindump.

Use the Braindump app to dump your retail (cartridge or eshop) copy of Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.

Use "RomFS Extractor.exe" to extract the romfs.bin file generated by Braindump. If you get .cxi files, delete Braindump from your SD Card and use the version distributed with RR/SS.

Open the "romfs_" folder generated in the last step and copy all the files from the Distribution Pack's "romfs" folder into it.

If you want to use a build other than the Legit Build, go into the "Encounter Type" folder, open the Build you want to use, and copy the "a" folder into the "romfs_" folder, allowing it to overwrite. The Legit Build is installed by default, and if you're using it you can skip this step.

Now is when you can use PK3DS to randomize your game if you want to. I recommend using the Leveled or 679 Build as a base if you intend to randomize.

Run "RomFS Builder.exe" and point it at the "romfs_" folder, save the resulting file as "rruby.romfs" for Omega Ruby or "ssapphire.romfs" for Alpha Sapphire. Note it'srruby and ssapphire.

Copy your "*.romfs" file to sd:/hans. NOT sd:/3ds/hans! It should be next to a matching rruby.code or ssapphire.code file.

Boot homebrew, click on the Star Sapphire or Rutile Ruby launch banner, and enjoy your game!

You'll need to delete your existing save if you want to start a new adventure, so back it up with the included "svdt" app so you don't lose everything. Do not delete your save with a save manager! Delete it from within the game itself otherwise it will become corrupted and not boot!

Don't need the actual gateway 3ds red card to dump 3ds games luckily, only for booting emunand so it can still be used to dump games as long as you load the launcher.dat file.
