That Matthew 5/29 traces all the way back to the Drenn rop installer from early 2014. Probably inherited (via open source) by the more recent rop installers that completely overwrites the profile. The Gateway rop installers don't completely overwrite your profile (and thus, can't alter name/date information).

You can find "matthew" if you search unicode in the above .nds binary. 05 1D or 5/29 is also in there. So matthew is Drenn and he certainly is not Mattieluh or whoever.

Can RxTool extract a game file directly from a ROM?
accessing ExeFS and RomFS to extract files without dumping XOR pad first? you are doing it with NAND dump already, maybe it could be done to games.

If it's possible, would it be possible to replace/inject patched files too? (maybe only if replaced file is not bigger)

it could be used by translation team to extract/patch/inject files.
providing a txt with a list of files to extract/reinject could make translation and mod easier.

I guess extraction is possible, but inject is probably more difficult due to size constraint (it might need a full recompile of the xxxFS to inject it instead of file by file.
That was just some ideas, it's probably not possible.

This is along the lines of the layeredFS that NTR offers (the file replacing). It allows you to load files from the SD card without needing to rebuild the RomFS. This type of feature though is probably what I look forward to the most from hacking the 3DS, and with how convenient rxTools has become, I too would like to see the feature implemented. AFAIK, you still need to extract the whole RomFS on a PC to access the individual files, which can be a pain.

any update?

PD:Sorry im spanish,if any interesting ,whit dual sdcard nand (1 partition Rxtool-nand-9.7 , 2 partition rednand-cfw-4.5),can launch chmm (whit cfw 4.5 and cubic ninja ".cia") install one theme and launch RXTools emunand 9.7 whit the theme cuztomized



You need to have both the EmuNAND and RedNAND linked in order to get this to work, which isn't really a very good idea, honestly.

RxTool can certainly read and extract RomFS ExeFS content without using computer application to extract the ROM.
it will not be able to inject files back, but at least extraction would be useful (to use with layeredFS, cia patch, or any other tools). it will skip few steps and app install for the end user.
I don't know how hard it is to implement, it's just some possible idea to add to RxTool.
