Homebrew [Release] OldSNES: SNES VC for Old 3DS users

[Inorizushi]

You cannot.

Well actually if you get the source for an older version and put in the correct edits for it to load roms from romfs, yeah it's pretty possible since the CIA builder takes the blargSNES.elf file from the tools folder.

I never said it wasn't possible just meant that with this tool you cant u gotta do it urelf

 

[Inorizushi]

Well you weren't being specific enough

 

[Domukuro Wolfield]

So, just change the .elf file for the older version?

 

[Mr Mario Mario]

So, just change the .elf file for the older version?

no you would have to edit the source code of the older version to make it load from romfs

 

[Inorizushi]

That wouldn't be enough since the version of blargSNES we're using has been changed to load the rom from the CIA's romfs
@Ryuzaki_MrL managed to patch the US rom to be able to load with the current version though so he might have the answer to getting TLoZ:LTTP

 

[Ryuzaki_MrL]

Is it against rules to share IPS patch files?

it depends what the contents of the patch is

My question is cuz i want to made a Custom VC for A link to the past and needs 1.2

Either grab a ready made one off that iso site, or, better yet (IMO) use a GBA inject.

 

[Mr Mario Mario]

Dude if I want to do a custom VC with a older blargsnes ver, what I need to do?

My question is cuz i want to made a Custom VC for A link to the past and needs 1.2

someone made one on that chaotic rom site

 

[Ranomez]

This is a problem with blargSnes itself, and I don't know if I can fix this.

Ok, thanks, did not know that.
Perhaps you should add this info to the OP so other people won't ask about it?

 

[Domukuro Wolfield]

Well, here again. I come with a problem and maybe an odd question. I am fast becoming my OLD several titles for 3DS and spent the CIAs to a friend. My friend has the New 3DS and tells me that do not work. So ... CIAS created are not compatible with the N3DS? I know it's silly because the New has its own official virtual console and there is another tool to make Custom VC but my question is that if these created must be compatible.



I have not mentioned that I totally love this tool?

It's supposed to work on a N3DS. What was the issue exactly?

Can confirm they work on the N3DS but I also downloaded some from that iso site that did not work and crashed the console and what I had to do was change the unique id of the CIAs.

 

[euamotubaina]

just to confirm

I edit the blargSnes.ini to

HardwareRenderer=1
ScaleMode=1
DirPath=/
Mode7=0
Borders=1

Then I'll have a bordered full scaled cia, right?

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

nope. It won't.
what am I doing wrong?

How to change the Unique ID and what are exactly the working IDs?

When launchs the game appear the tipic black screen error

 

[Ranomez]

How to change the Unique ID and what are exactly the working IDs?

Use the ctrtool program from the tools folder to unpack the cias and then use the makerom program to rebuild the cias with a different unique ID or if you built the cias yourself you should already have all the files ready to just make them again using new IDs with just the make program.
I am not sure but for mine I used IDs like: 9AXX where XX goes from 01 to 0F right now, and the next ones will be between 10 and 1F.

EDIT: Note that after I fixed the downloaded ones I actually ended up remaking them from 0 (although they did work) just to use my old SNES personal dumps

Also @Ryuzaki_MrL are there linux alternatives to these programs as I would like to attempt to make a script for myself and other linux users out there?

 

[Ryuzaki_MrL]

My collection is up on both that iso and that chaos sites

@Ryuzaki_MrL
After created the icon in make.bat it says an error about banner.bin that was not found. What does it mean?
Anyway I found this file then when I put in the same folder with make.bat it does not give me error but when the process is completed it deletes the file. can you explain me about this?

banner.bin is the final banner file, built from the banner folder.
On the latest blargVC version, banner.bat generates this file after you're finished with Ohana3DS, and saves it on output\<game's title>\banner.bin.
If not found during the CIA making proccess, a "blank" banner.bin will be generated by make.bat.
This file used to be deleted once the CIA was created, but now it remains intact on the game's output folder.

Looks like you're using an older version of blargVC.
