Homebrew Romhack list for *hax 2.5+

[Neru]

Make sure you're using a clean romfs.bin, I got that error by attempting to extract AFTER removing the header

It could be possible that it's corrupted as well.

So what you're saying it to remove the header off the game before extracting the romfs.bin?

 

[Lucar]

Ok, my extracted romfs folder should look like this for CTGP-7?

extract the files, copy the files for the rom hack over, rebuild the romhf.bin
AND THEN remove the headers.

 

[Pikasack]

i did that and got 'not a valid Romfs binary.'

Try to dump it again?

Alright I understand everything now (My bad is really late here and I'm tired).

Yep, make sure you out the CTGP-7 files in there, rebuild it, scrub off the 1000 bytes. (open in HxD and highlight it all until you highlight the FF0 line) and you should be good to go.

So now just rebuild and scrub it? Right?

Yep, I did it and it worked.

I just realized I added the CTGP-7 files to Crashmo's ROMFS... XD

I hate it when you do the wrong thing, now you have to wait a couple of hours unless you already dumped Mario Kart 7.

Already Dumped MK7, just took the wrong Directory off my SD Card. I was wondering why my new ROMFS was only 72 MB...

hopin only to get it working w/ NeoX started teh dump @ 9pm est here 3hrs later it's only got roughly 600mb of 1.7gb done.

Braindump it kind of slow as it is a prerelease, but it is extremely useful right now

So a couple of pointers for anyone interested in romhacking.

1). Delete update data
2). Delete any DLC for the game. This applies especially to Smash, I haven't tested it yet but I'm guessing it's why my earlier attempt to get romhacks working for smash froze before character select loaded.
3). http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/how-to-use-rom-hacks-on-10-2-with-hans.1 read that.

There have been some snazzy auto-loader released for Neo X/Y and Rutile Ruby/Star Sapphire! By Josephvb10!

Get them here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-pokémon-star-sapphire-rutile-ruby-neo-x-neo-y-shortcuts-auto-loaders.400958/

1). Delete update data

From what I've gathered this is not really necessary

ROMFS Builder keeps crashing when I try to re-create my CTGP-7 ROMFS. Any idea why?

 

[CaptainZef]

i can't for the life of me get the Romfs extractor to work, no matter what CIA i use it says it's invalid

 

[srwgin]

if you want to edit pokemon oras youself
you need
pk3DS.exe
RSTE.exe
RSWE.exe
RomFS Builder.exe
RomFS Extractor.exe
maybe ctrtool.exe
just google for them

NVM, I ran out of room on my USB where I'm doing all this stuff. It crashed due to not having enough room to store the level 2 key.
