Homebrew Romhack list for *hax 2.5+

[Coleman_C18]

Yeah, the game crashed many times without code.bin for rutile ruby, finally working stable after making sure it was there. I'm going to test Neo Y later, have to get the cia.

You're technically not replacing anything through this method. You're using an already compiled CIA rom of the romhack to do this, but converting it down to a ROMFS file and CODE file for HANS to use.

How would we go about replacing files, thats something I'd really like to do?

 

[Pokemon9007]

Did you use code.bin?

Yes i did.

 

[Procyon]

Yes i did.

Romfs?

 

[Pokemon9007]

Romfs?

That as well.

 

[ant888]

I'm also having this problem. I have tried both the romfs and the code, but it either has a small line of glitchy screen, or exits to the HB launcher.

 

[Procyon]

That as well.

Renamed it to titleid.romfs titleid being what you get from Hans?

I believe the reason why it exits to the homebrew launcher screen is unrelated since that happens to me when it does not ask me to choose a target game.

Neo Y works following my exact instructions. Note that I have the physical cart of the game, if this means any difference at all to people following it exactly don't work for.

Including that.

 

[Procyon]

Including that.

What hax do you use (as payload)

What hax do you use (as payload)

I use ironhax, but i'm not sure that's what you are asking for.

 

[Procyon]

I use ironhax, but i'm not sure that's what you are asking for.

That was what I was asking for. Redownloaded the files last night? Or redownloaded it anyway. I mean the starter kit

 

[Flowey]

One more dumb question, when you're renaming romfs and code to titleid.code/romfs, are you supposed to change the actual file extension, or leave it the same and just name it?

Yeah, i downloaded the starter kit twice, the second time after he updated it.

Rename filename extension.

BTW are you guys using the full titleid or the short one?

 

[ant888]

I'm using the short one

I'll piggyback off Procyon's instructions on how to use Rutile Ruby with a physical cart, and clarify some spots. This worked for me.



Install Python 2.7 and then

1. Download packhack (from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...d-3ds-roms-run-xy-oras-without-update.383055/) and extract it
2. Go to the ISO site. Download a CIA (in this case it's pre-patched with Rutile Ruby/Sapphire). Make sure you don't use any gameupdates from the eshop for any of the pokemon games, or delete them.
3. Meanwhile check the program you want to run with hacks do this using Hans and selecting the program. And move to romfs and select yes write down the name.
4. Exit Hans.
5. Power off the 3DS
6. Extract the zips on your PC. (Put the CIA in the same folder as the packhack)
7. Open a notepad file and paste in, after pasting save as ctrtool.bat and place it in the same folder as ctrtool

Code:
ctrtool --contents=contents name.cia
ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin contents.0000.00000000
ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin
ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin contents.0000.00000000
(replace name with CIA file name)

1. After extracting ROMFS + EXFs through ctrtools you will have Romfs.bin + exefs folder.
2. Open HxD and open Romfs.bin, ctrl + E and set length with hex checked to 1000. This should select 000->FF0. Press backspace and it should move the rest of the data in the file to the top. Save it.
3. Rename Romfs.bin now to titleid.romfs (title id being what you got from HANS)
4. Open exefs folder, and take code.bin and rename it to titleid.code
5. Place on your SD in HANS folder.
6. Run HANS with Code + Romfs selected. Don't use any other options at all in HANS. I haven't tested if they work.

Should work. These were my exact steps, and you have to follow the exact steps for it to work. These exact steps might work for other romhacks as long as you change all the variables.

Reboots to homebrew launcher after I try to launch the game through HANS. Followed those instructions.

Rename filename extension.

Short one

Sorry for my english its a google tradutor:

Hello friends I need some help because I did not understand very well how I decrypt the rom , I own another 3ds this in turn is with access to rxtools and then used the old Asia81 method to extract the romfs folders and exefs however like myself I said I extracted folder and noticed that if need be romfs.bin and exefs.bin files I wonder .. is there any way I can convert again the folders to the .bin file ? or do I have to do other method ?
