Homebrew How do you make a *hax entrypoint?

I overhauled a plugin for Pokémon X/Y/OR/AS — spawn any Pokémon, shop anywhere, edit your team, know your enemy, teleport and many more!

Hey everyone! 👋 I want to share something I’ve been pouring myself into: a big overhaul of the Gen 6 CTRPluginFramework — a .3gx plugin for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS (via Luma3DS). I’ll be upfront: I’m not a programmer. I’m just a curious player who’s good at testing and thinking hard about problems. Every feature here started as a real itch I hit while playing — “there should be a way to…” — and I built it out, piece by piece, in back-and-forth with Claude. The goal wasn’t to make the most powerful cheat tool; it was to make one that anyone can actually understand. What that means in practice: Every feature is named in plain language, and every single option has an info (i) button that explains it. There’s a 23-page guide built right into the plugin, written like a guided tour, not a manual. The whole UI is available in 7 languages: 🇺🇸 English · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇧🇷 Portuguese (BR) · 🇪🇸 Spanish. One .3gx serves all four Gen 6 games — it auto-detects which one you’re running and loads tailored content. A quick tour of what’s inside (you open everything with SELECT): 🔍 Wild Pokémon Spawner — a live, filtered list of every species; pick one (form, level, shiny) and it appears in the grass. 🐉 Respawn Legendary — sends any legendary back to its real location. 🛒 PokéMart Anywhere — a real shop in your bag, with a FREE mode and a PAY mode (prices, cart, checkout — you can never overspend). 📦 PC Box ++ — your boxes as a visual sprite grid, with a full tabbed editor (IVs/EVs, moves, ability, item, ball…) — all picked from on-screen lists, no keyboard typing. ⚔️ In-Battle Tools — Enemy Helper coaches you on the foe (what beats it, stat-by-stat compare), Change Party Stats edits your team mid-fight, and Display Enemy Stats overlays hidden data. 🗺️ Teleportation — warp to any town/route/landmark (full Hoenn + Kalos maps), plus your own saved warp points. 🎮 Mini Game Corner — a little arcade of 7 games (loot boxes, slots, prize wheel, stat duels, a random team generator, and more). ✨ Quality of life — fast text, fast walk, walk-through-walls, instant eggs, a configurable on-screen HUD, 25 color themes, Favorites, rebindable hotkeys… 📖 Complete Professor Oak Challenge guide built in — the full Oak Challenge walkthrough (by Mewlax) lives right inside the plugin, so you can follow the entire living-dex run without ever leaving your game. Full write-up (with screenshots): 👉 https://github.com/samaBR85/Gen6CTRPFrameworkOverhauled ⬇️ Download here: https://github.com/samaBR85/Gen6CTRPFrameworkOverhauled/releases Github links are down. For now, you can download from here: GEN6CTRPFramework-v081 - Google Drive or It’s free and open-source (GPL-3.0), and it stands on a lot of community work — biometrix76, Hartie95, PKHeX (kwsch), the CTRPluginFramework/3gxtool by ThePixellizerOSS, PokéAPI, Pokémon Showdown, the ORAS Wiki, and Mewlax’s Professor Oak Challenge guides.

If anyone replies on how, it would be great, because I am trying to make an exploit/entrypoint called "QRhax" [would work on a stock 3DS] for an easier method of Homebrew to newcomers.

Good luck the only thing scanning a qr can do is open the browser.

If so, then how about a standard *hax entrypoint?

You have to find an exploit in an app that eventually loads the hax payload. This is not simple in the slightest.

Like Crafty said, you'd have to find a buffer overflow or something similar in a game/application.
You'd then have to make it crash and write or port code to make the CPU jump to your exploit code.

I think that Wololo had a nice article on PSP save game hacking.

In anyway, you'd need a bit of coding knowledge to pull it off.
