ROM Hack SaltySD for sun/moon?

[xtheman]

So I ran into the github page for SaltySD and I saw it mentioned Sun/Moon.
I read more and it seems it has save redirection (https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/SaltySD/blob/master/SunMoon/PATCHING.md). I'll compile it later to see what that is about. I just wanted to post this here (Sorry if it was already posted though)

save redirection? what does that mean

These edits redirect the all files to sd:/saltysd/SunMoon. SD loaded files take first priority, then normal files. Because this patch redirects nn::fs::TryOpenFile, it can also optionally redirect extdata and savedata, although writing has not been tested (but should work). Since files are only redirected in the event of the existence of a file on SD, a savefile can be redirected by placing main at sd:/saltysd/SunMoon/main.

edit: that wasn't clear at all. Instead of reading the save from the cart/nintendo 3ds folder you can make it read from a set location on sd card

why would redirection matter unless it's decrypted? aren't save files encrypted? or does the redirection deal with that automatically, and what about the secure values?

I haven't tested it. I'm just going by @shinyquagsire23 word. But in theory it should just read and write to the main (dumped with a save manger) file in /saltysd/sunmoon/main without any problems. (this is useful for say pkhex)

then it could make a backup too in case something fucks up

I think it completely forces the main to be read from their so it wouldn't make a backup.

It does work, I've tested it, but basically all it does it make the game read/write to the sdcard and ignore the savedata file.

@shinyquagsire23 would you be able to point me in the right direction for setting this up? When I tried to build with armips, it said the architecture wasn't specified

The Save Redirect sounds cool, potentially could make a "mod launcher" that would swap folders around so you could have separate saves for different rom hacks (Umbra Moon/Nova Sun).

I'm also getting this exact error. Anybody have any idea? I can't find ANY tutorials on how to properly compile SaltySD

Try editing patch.s and change .arm.little to just .arm, my armips is at the latest build (self-compiled) and it errored with just .arm.

EDIT: Can also try .nds instead, that will probably work.

Sadly still gave me the same error.

"patch.s(1) fatal error: No architecture specified"
"make: *** [all] Error 2"

EDIT: I'm dumb lmao. Updated my armips and it compiled correctly. Sorry and thanks

 

[xtheman]

Edit nevermind.

I think I'm doing something wrong. I got the music to replace but I can't get save redirection to work. Am I doing something wrong? I put the file in "/saltysd/SunMoon/main" And also tried "/saltysd/SunMoon/main/main"
