ROM Hack [Release] RomFS Builder

[motezazer]

Now all we need is a good ROM builder! Nice work.

Makerom isn't enough?

Makerom isn't enough?

Makerom requires an .rsf to build a rom -- ideally you could just read the exheader for data, since the exheader is effectively a serialized version of the rsf.

How the heck do you even get an .rsf?

I saw the lack of a good RomFS Builder as a problem, so I made this thing.

It's very, very simple.

Open a folder using the Open button, then hit Go. The program will then generate a RomFS binary.

When it's done, it'll prompt you to save the binary with a file name of your choice.

Will this removed the needed bytes for hans as well?

If so, can keep include this in my tutorial?

pk3DS has this program integrated if you would rather use that.

No, no program currently removes the first 0x1000 bytes. Just have them open it in HxD or another hex editor to trim it off.

How would I go from .3ds to the RomFS, and in that order of operations where would modifying files for mods go?

This makes using HANS easier (kind of)

It is hanging on the save.

This... doesnt work for me well. For example, I usually use Pk3DS to rebuild my omega ruby. I used this for some reason, and it froze when i tried loading omega ruby. also the file size seemed off. Then when I used Pk3DS, it worked fine. So im not sure whats up.

For some reason, this application doesn't work anymore for me. When saving the rom, it is stuck. When I tried it yesterday with MK7 CTGP, everything worked fine and I could save the rom.
I tried to download it again and used the original MK7, as well as a A Link Between Worlds unpacked rom. I still get this error.

Edit: Everything works just fine! The "save as" window was hiding somehow. I restored it via the task manager. So nothing so see here!

@SciresM Can I dump my Pokemon Sun, and replace the romfs with one from a rom hack (rising sun) and build?

I'm having a similar (or the exact same one) problem where whenever I select the files, it acts like it's gonna get to work and then crashes.
