Homebrew What am I doing wrong, (patching Neo Y)

[ZedMania]

Yeah, I think you should try looking for that file. If you can't, I suggest dumping the ROM once more, and retry the whole thing. Hopefully, you should be able to play some Neo Y soon. If anything comes up, don't hesitate to ask.

Alright. Thanks for the help dude

@qtfoo Yeah I believe it does get stuck on that for a while.

Small question, is RomFS Builder supposed to look like it's stuck/frozen on "Prompting to Save..."? I'm wondering if it crashed or its just really taking its time.

I actually wasn't paying attention when it was repacking (YouTube videos are distracting ), but give it some time before force quitting. Try again if you need to.

Well...I have it load my X save file so I suppose it works ?

I have level 7 jigglypuff on route 3...I think i have the edits too...

If the title screen had the custom logo, then you got it.

Alright. Thanks for the help dude

No prob, glad to be of service.

No it didn't..I think...I selected eur as a region and french as a language...but I don't think Rufflets can be found on route 3 normally...

I actually checked the document that came with the Romhack. Those are Pokemon that were set from the hack, so you're good to go!

 

[Amapola62]

Ok time to back up my save (I have events i have to pick up) and start the hack from the beginning...

I as well have this problem "black screen/glitch line" I've dumped it 3 times, and repeated the steps exactly. I continuously run into this. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, my romfs is 1.7 gigs, it's in the correct folder "sd:/hans", and I've deleted the the code with Hxd "ctrl+e length 1000", it has the correct titleid (same as op) . I'm at my wits end here. Been lurking for 3 good hours here for a solution, came to nothing yet... My entry point I've been using is themehax.

 

[qtfoo]

Ah, actually the save prompt was actually a Save As window in the background. That'll teach me for having a clutter of windows open, I feel silly.

 

[ZedMania]

Ah well.... thus starts the incredibly long process of dumping my file once again.

@AngryCookie When you're deleting the 4096 bytes/1000 code, are you sure you have it at 0-1000 and not something like 46-1046? That was the first problem I bumped into. Otherwise, Im not sure what to suggest :/

I believe so, the beginning number should be 28 when opened in hxd? Correct?

 

[ZedMania]

Once the 0x1000 have been deleted, yes

Correct. I can't exactly tell what could be the problem, but usually the "glitch line" means that the .romfs file is invalid (at least from my experience). Try checking if something went wrong along the way, I'm not sure what else to suggest...

How do i backup my X save with svdt..I want to start anew in Pokemon x without loosing my normal save...but i don't understand the options...

 

[ZedMania]

Ahah! I understand! I hope this solves my problem but now I know why the folder at the end was only 305MB! It's because, since I'm on a mac, when it prompts me to "merge" the files, (as in, the 'a' folder) it instead just replaces the file with the Neo Y file... Ahhhhhhh xD Hope this solves my problem.

Just select the title you want to work on, press L, put the arrow (>>>) on the /, press Y and A. This will create a folder with the saves with the title name on the svdt folder located on the sd root. Ex: X:/svdt/Kid Icarus Uprising

Well then. XD
Hopefully you'll get that working now!

 

[Amapola62]

Thank you...^^ Now I'll be able to start the hack from the beginning but still have the possibility to go back to my normal save...

I finished repacking, deleted the required bytes and placed the romfs in sd:/hans
I've also placed the auto loader in sd:/3ds/

Loaded it up and greeted by Neo Pokemon X screen.
Backed up my save data through Save Data Manager.
Then I tried to delete my save data with L+R+Up+X+B combo in-game in NeoX. After that it may have crashed. Oops.
Loaded the cart normally to see if the deletion worked and it brought me to the language options (success).
I exited vanilla X and entered homebrew again, returning to the auto loader, selected my language, the prof confirms it's NeoXY :D

Thank you all for the combined knowledge!

Awesome! Have fun with that, I've heard good things about it.
If I have to suggest one thing, I'd recommend svdt over Save Data Manager. It has the same features as Save Data Manager, but it has this useful "anti-savegame restore" feature that allows you to restore saves to games that have a secure value system (it's basically a value that randomizes itself each time you save, and it's used to stop people from editing saves), which I believe Pokemon XY is one of them. Either way, have a good time with the game!

It works guys! DD Thanks, all of you I can finally get some sleep! xD

Great! Glad that it's fixed!
Good luck in that game! I have yet to play it since I'm doing a SoulSilver Randomized run first. X3
