Homebrew So, what have been achevied with HANS so far ?

[Mrrraou]

We achieved to patch the romfs in order to edit textures, musics, levels, etc...
But what about the .code file ? No one tried to patch it, and it seems like it was never modified in ROM hacking before; I can't find any tool about it.
But that's something that I would like to know: how do we patch it ?
For example, when we patch Alpha Sapphire .code with the Omega Ruby one, it works, but we get a black screen (haven't tried with romfs patching at the same time.).
But when we patch Alpha Sapphire with the Face Riders one, HANS crashes: it seems like he cannot run the .code file, or something like that.
Can we have more info about it or anything ?

Frustrating me. XD

Just tried replacing both code and exefs from Y to AS, no lucj, HANS crashes.

This makes me wonder, could there be a reason smealum has not released the source code of HANS? Maybe it's a simple check that HANS makes to know if the code being loaded is from the same game?

I don't know, maybe it is.
But I managed to load the OR .code into SA, but with a black screen (the game crashed). So, that's pretty strange.

Try replacing both the code and romfs. I don't have two games from the same pair to try.

Yeah. But I tried with system apps too. (Face Raiders, System Settings, etc)
All crashed. I'm going to try with the OR romfs on AS. It's still dumping.

I'd bet that HANS uses an unreleased exploit.
I think that maybe the ROP entry is different in every games, so maybe it doesn't work because HANS can't call the intialisation function, but as OR and AS are very similar it would have worked. But that's just a theory, given how few information we have about everything. A bit more clarification from smealum maybe or anyone that belive to have understood would be appreciated. Thanks

I replace both code.bin and romfs.bin when I play Neo Y and Rutile Ruby and both work fine.
I haven't tried without it, but it works so I don't have a reason to change it.

Yeah, that sure uses an unreleased exploit, because there is more RAM available, and more services too. It doesn't look like before, but maybe it's still unreleased because Nintendo would patch it faster.

This should be of some assistence

Tried with the OR .code and romfs on AS, it doesn't work. Black screen when HANS starts the game, so next after icache invalidation.

Quick question about hans - if I have a JP cartridge and a US 3ds do I set Hans' region option to US or JP? I'm thinking JP but want to be sure

 

[JustPingo]

US, but trying won't break it.

Ok thanks, I'm just trying to narrow down the problems I'm having with romhacks

I think JP, and make sure to set the language to JPN too, unless the game is multilingual.

Custom music in Smash 3DS is incredibly easy with HANS. Currently looking into other uses for it.

 

[DesuIsSparta]

Not specifically HANS-related, but currently working on some ACNL stuff.. Have to reverse-engineer all the file types since they're completely different from other 3ds games and don't use a common format.

You either packed it wrong or didnt remove the bytes correctly

I did that. And I know that I did it well. I even tried to delete the savegame on the cartridge.
Have you tried ? Did it worked for you ?

Does anyone know which European demos contain Japanese language that can be accessed through HANS?
