3ds/cia -> roms.
romfs -> rom files
Encryption -> Games are encrypted, so nobody can see them. There are several ways to decrypt them.

I mean... more detailed...
What is the difference between .3ds and .cia?
romfs.bin is like an archive, isn't it? with folders like 0/0/a/1?
What is exactly in the cartrdige, how does it works?
Is the romfs.bin dumped with braindumper encrypted?
What is the exefs.bin?
People are talking about header, what is that?

I would really like a small F.A.Q. about this, just for knowledge.

You need to extract your romfs.bin with braindump.
Put the romfs.bin in the folder with extract_romfs.bat
run extract_romfs.bat
when you have the extracted romfs folder
goto the romfs folder in Pokemon NeoXY1.33\Installation hub\data\Full
drag it into the folder with the extracted romfs folder
when prompted click "replace files with same name"
then run romfs builder.exe click your romfs folder and click go then wait till it's done and save it as a .bin
then run gen_romfs.bat and type the name you saved the romfs as in the above step and type the titleid 00055d00
when thats done you should have a working romfs file to put on your sd card

I can't put all of that information here it would took a lot of time. 3dbrew has all the info about that and you can also use google, but basically:

3ds -> games dumped from a cartrdige
cia -> games downloaded from eshop
Romfs -> filed used by the game such as music, scenary, models....
Code -> Code it is what controls the game and make things work, such as loading the music, calculating values...
Header -> It has info about the game such as the title how should it be run, etc

Could you include Bash scripts for using them in Linux?

 

[PabloMK7]

Actually, romfs is like a WinZip file, all the files inside it are compressed

 

[DaBlackDeath]

Actually it only renames and removes 1000 bytes, if you know how to do that. There is no need to use this tool. I made it for people who has problems with hans.

You could use dd.exe
dd if=in_file of=out_file bs=1 skip=1000

just in case you want to try it:

I don't own linux, and don't know how bash works there....

Hi, i got this error "Error, program id mismatch. Wrong key?"

Ignore that, it means the game is decrypted.

Hey Pablo, got any method by which I can repack the dt file in Smashbros? As soon as I've got that I can probably continue checking if any hacks for Smash work at all.

There is a dt unpacker, but I think it can't repack... not sure.

 

[darklordrs]

There is a dt unpacker, but I think it can't repack... not sure.

the original "lsdt.exe" unpacks wrong and doesn't repack, Sammi Husky's dt unpacker unpacks right but doesnt repack, so i cant find any way to do it atm.

edit: qq: how hard would it be to simply reverse the process of an unpacker? it sounds like something that's definitely not so simple, given how compression on things works, but I have to ask.

 

[noctis90210]

i cant see emunand titles on HANS... how do i play faster clock on emunand installed games?

Not sure, I didn't create that tools.

That may be a issue with homebrew launcher.... it has lots of bugs that should be fixed

Sorry i'm a newbiew ^^, how to have the file MK7_romfs.bin?

 

[Keizel]

I want the update... How I could have this for copy to ROMFS and use it in HANS?

Read the tutorial please, use braindump to get the decrypted romfs of your games

 

[BurningDesire]

I'm making this tutorial so you can easily generate a proper romfs to use with hans.

Here is the video version.


Requirements

• Python 2.7 installed
• This tools I made
• A encrypted/decrypted rom in 3ds/cia or an actual romfs.bin (Use this thread to dump and decrypt your rom)

Procedure

1. Extract the tools.
2. Put the 3ds/cia/romfs.bin in the same forder (if encrypted, put the romfs xorpad there aswell.)
3. Run extract_romfs.bat and follow the indications.
4. If everything goes correctly, a romfs folder should be created.
5. Edit whatever you want in romfs folder.
6. Once you are done, run Romfs builder, a tool made by @SciresM.
7. On Romfs Builder select the romfs folder and click go, after a bit it will prompt you to save. Save it as whatever.bin but in the same folder as the bat files.
8. Run gen_romfs.bat, it will ask you for the whatever.bin file name, and then for the low titleID (last 8 characters of titleID) of the game you are trying to use with hans. If you don't know it, you can run hans with the game you want to hack and it will show the titleID at the bottom of the config screen.
9. If everything goes fine, a titleid.romfs file will be created. Copy that to SD:/hans and you are done.

Notes.

If the romfs folder is empty and/or the tool returns an error, it will be copied to log/error.txt. If you can't manage to solve the error, post it here.

Only decrypted cia has been tested, so other modes may not work or be buggy, sorry about that but I don't have much time to test.

Sorce code?
