How to combine updates with your game
Before we begin, very important note:
Other tutorials you'll need to refer to:
Decrypting and extracting CIA
Decrypting and extracting Rom
Step 1:
Decrypt and extract the Update CIA. (you can find it on a certain site, don't ask)
Make sure you extract the exefs/code.bin option and get a .code.bin file. (it is gonna be around 5312 KB)
Rename this .code.bin from the Update file as <Title ID>.code
Example: 0011C500.code
You're also going to need the extracted romfs folder from the update file.
Step 2:
Extract the romfs from the game.
Step 3:
Paste the romfs from the update file into the romfs of the game.
When it prompts, replace everything.
Step 4:
Rebuild romfs as a single file.
Name it as <Title ID>.romfs
Example: 0011C500.romfs
Step 5:
Create a hans folder on the root of your SD card.
(Example sd:/hans DO NOT TOUCH THE HANS FOLDER IN THE 3DS FOLDER)
Step 6:
Copy both the .code and .romfs file into the sd:/hans
Step 7:
Launch the game in HANs,
Set the region to be same region as your 3DS
Set the code -> SD and romfs -> SD to Yes
Proof (of sorts)
Don't ask me why Jeff is a female; not my cartridge.
Enjoy!
(such a pity, I wanted to connect to Korean Pokemon Wifi; probably won't work because Secureinfo mismatch)

Gudenaurock's Layered FS guide that gave me the idea
Asia81's tutorial allowed for me to do the test.
- This tutorial is for firmware <=9.2
However, if you're able to get the romfs and exefs decrypted from other sites, it'll serve your purpose. - The example I'm using is for Pokemon
- If you set HANs to a different region from your 3DS, you won't be able to connect online
- This is primarily for game-breaking patches, rather than online use.
- Make sure you're using the newest of newest HANs, the one that allows eshop use for uses under FW10.
