OK, I dumped the game, copied and pasted it to the CTGP-7 folder, and ran the Run_CTGP7 batch file. I answered USA (2) to the first question and No (2) to the second question for the HANS method. When it tells me to enter the decrypted cxi file name, I press 00 and then tab so 0004000000030800.cxi appears (as mentioned by the guide). When I hit enter, it reboots me to the first question and says "Error unpacking romfs" at the top. I dunno what's going on, because this is the second time I've dumped the game and it never gave me any errors either time. Can someone help me? I just wanna play it already.

Open log/errorlog.txt and paste here what does it say.

Weird...
Check that ctrtool.exe exists inside tools folder.

._ctrtool is there, but not the normal one. Let me retry downloading it.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Can I get a x64 version of the file? It keeps telling me my windows version isn't correct, even though I'm on 7 Home Premium
Edit: At this point, a bunch of files are just missing. ._Crtool isn't even there.

The version shouldn't matter, I got it from projectCTR on github

My virus protection software is on, so I don't THINK I have a virus.
EDIT: O MY GOD O FIGURED IT OUT! I PUT THE CRT TOOL FROM LAYEREDFDS INTO THE TOOLS FOLDER AND IT WORKED!!!!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Quick question, once I have the contents of the output folder on my SD card, do I need the cxi file on the root anymore?

No Pablo, it does matter. Ctrtool is incompatible with Windows 7. To use it with Windows 7, you've gotta recomiple the source on a machine which runs Windows 7. This is as explained by @Nanquitas
However, you're right about it partially as even I couldn't find any 64 / 32 Bit version. The GitHub site gives download links of the programs compiled on higher versions of Windows (Win 7 above).

Anyways just a suggestion. Could you use 3dstool instead of ctrtool in all those places? That'd really solve many problems.

It doesn't have cia to cxi, so I need to use it.
So... quick question. Does Download Play only work with other A9LH 3DSs, or can you do download play on stock 3DSs?
Thanks to the way MK7 works, it'll work on any 3ds

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
