Basically as for now all I can do is:
- Steal badges from other people's Data files;
- Clone them until infinity;
- Exchange the badge images with each others;
- Edit the text of the badges however I want;
- The collection they belong to, create custom collections as well;
But I can't make custom badges.
All I need to do is figure out that file format :|
Please, help. It's one obstacle I won't jump over without help. Anyone. PNG2BCLIM doesn't seem to support it, neither does EFE. :|
I can send any of you some samples if you want.


So if i say i want import my badge from my JAP version to may PAL version is possibile?

yes im italian.

yes im italian.
no you can't import jap to pal since jap have stuff that pal don't have. even the shortcut does nt work since the app id change from region to region.

Just unpack the SARC.

Please don't spread misinformation. Shortcuts are barely a matter of 10% of the pins and 1-2 digits edit.

Yes.
Could you say me as I can obtain badges of the other people? I know too much people that play this game and I could backup there badges.
Yeah, I think I can tell this right now, it's all a theory and I didn't test it, but I'm pretty convinced that this is almost, if not definitely all.
a) BadgeMngFile.dat:
1. Edit number of your collections at 0x04
2. Edit number of unique badges at 0x08
3. Edit amount of all badges at 0x18
4. Add another entry to the array at 0x3E8, direct copy-paste from your friend's 0x28 bytes line.
5. Change the ID number of this badge to be one after the last badge you had at 0x0C
(Also make sure that badges at 0x10 show that 0 badges are placed in the Home Menu)
6. If necessary, fix the shortcut to the app at the bytes after 0x18 in the array entry
7. Create a new collection at 0xA030, you can try to direct copy, but then...
8. Edit 0x14 in this entry to match the amount of unique badges you copied from a friend
9. Edit 0x18 in this entry to match the total amount of badges you copied from a friend
10. Edit 0x1C to match the ID you edited in step #5
b) BadgeData.dat
1. Copy the 0x8A0 2-dimensional array entry about collection name from your friend and paste it under the last of your entries at the very beginning of the file
2. Copy the 0x8A0 2-dimensional array entry about badge name from your friend and paste it under the last of your entries at 0x35E80
3. Copy the data belonging to the collection/badges you are looking from from the array under 0x250F80 on your friend's file and paste it under your entries at 0x250F80.
4. Copy the data belonging to the collection/badges you are looking from from the array under 0x318F80 on your friend's file and paste it under your entries at 0x318F80.
5. Copy the data belonging to the collection/badges you are looking from from the array under 0xCDCF80 on your friend's file and paste it under your entries at 0xCDCF80.
Now boot up the 3DS again and it should work.

(╯︵╰,) it would be a bit more "we" if you figured out at least one thing by yourself.
But yeah, we're (by which I mean me and @Author) are making some progress. Author had a nice idea to ask guys how to make this BCLIM work. And it turns out that it really is a BCLIM, but now we have to wonder what compression method was used.

glad to be helping a bit, badges are a really cool concept and i'd love to place as much of them as humanly possible onto my home menu. ;O
