Hello everyone,

hopefully you can help me out. as i have asked in a previous topic about translations (the stickied one), there might be a chance for just hacking and replacing the text ingame (no transaltions at all) for the inazuma eleven games on the 3ds. since the translations for the names are really awful, i just wanted to know if there is a step by step tutorial what i have to a) use for getting those files and b) putting them together again after altering them.

It's very easy to decrypt romfs and to rebuild it, but everything depends on how the game stores the text informations.

There might be a dat file with LZXX compression including pictures / bch / ctr graphics and lots more possebilities... no chema F!

I can tell you the pokemon names isn't a issue, also I think it's nice to have difference names from regions .. it make soud like animals that have a name for each language ( a lot o people buggy me but I say that portuguese version could had pokemon names as well :v also spanish that actually have the game on their language but murikan names ... ) but pro PEOPLE it's so much wrong! like inazuma (until HGSS) the hame happens on japan, there were japanese people(and some outsiders) living in japan, just like inazuma, so why it's ok to change Shirona to Cynthia, Haruka to May? but changing Kazemaru to Nathan oh god it's unaceptable! (I'm just sayng that is pretty the same thing but they can live with localzied pokemon, but no inazuma :B I don't like this kind of localziation, it's very xenophobic lol)
Also a lot of stuff that where already in englsh but the changed anyway like fastball, other itens and stuffs xp for me the localized is very worse than inazuma, and have this power of making the fans not caring about the original :x

But well, you don't have to care, just sharing my torment =w=

successfully decrypted it and changed for now kidou's name, but .... i dont have enough space on my sd card. have to get a new one to test it out :/ so...still waiting and see if it works or not.

can someone tell me, if i am ever releasing such thing, how would i be able to ? i am not interested in uploading .cia files or sth similar. is there a programm which is letting me handle the "changes" to those files or do i have to write my own?

well I saw a lot of dranlation that instead of sharing the rom, they shared one ips patch, something that are only the archives that changes, with a program to iject it on th actual rom ... but I don't know if it's possible with 3Ds ...

Well, i am a c# developer and thought about sth that might work. Don't want to spent time on sth that already exists ;)
Nonetheless, thank you so far for your support.

General question: When i change the romfs.bin to my liking, do i have to change other files as well? i have repacked it to a .cia and installed it, but it didn't let me start the game.

nvm the thing before. something different happened to me. i changed just a single name (e.g. Mark Evans to Endou Mamo), kept the length from the original name, just in case... but when i start a new game, it doesnt continue (freezes) or when i am loading a savegame, i have no single character in my team and i am moving an invisible character....any thoughts about this? did i miss sth?
