Homebrew [WIP] PHBank - Pokémon Homebrew Bank

[Deleted member 373223]

Yay!

To change the simple 2D art, you can edit the files into the /pk/romfs/ folder, since the app load these files on startup.
I tried to load another spritesheet (I made some cropping on too) for the top screen pokémon icon, but that wasn't working due to the size. I might have another solution that I'll try later.


EDIT: Well

Hey @Gocario That came out real good!
Thanks for answer, already working on some custom wallpapers.


Now, I wasn't able to add the sprites sheet you posted. I guess is because it isn't formatted as the original one and when it tries to access a point it doesn't find it and gives me a 000x20 error.
If that is the case i'm going to work on formatting the sprite sheet to load it properly. That Yveltal looks great.

Some Screenshots attached.

BTW, do you know if it is possible to take a screenshot of the 3DS of any running app? or you do it trough Citra?

That looks great indeed ! You can take screenshots of anything launched through HBL by pressing the Home button, for CIA programs it depends which c
Cfw you're using but usually there is a plugin that allow you to take screenshots.

Hi Gocario ! do you think it would be possible to add a feature allowing to rename the boxes from the bank ? As there are 100 of them, it could be helpful to find our pokemon faster ; thx for the answer

If I remember correctly your boxes are named whatever they were in the game. As for the bank boxes... I think they can be renamed through hex editing.

Awesome Homebrew. Thank you very much. I absolutely do not going to use it to clone my pokemon. Maybe just try ? No I won´t.

I had to program something else, it's not romfs-only.

Homebrew: HOME, then scrtool
CFW: NTR-CFW?

Yeah, it's on my todo list, atm the names are already read/write to the bank file (the same for the background id), I just have to add a way to modify them within the app.

I absolutely do not going to use it to clone my pokemon. Maybe just try ? No I won´t.

Ye ye

Pokémon Homebrew Bank​

PHBank is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for XY and ORAS Pokémon games, just like the Pokébank, but as a free offline service.
This homebrew is not intended to cheat (not even cloning). It's just a storage solution.

The source code is available under the GPLv3 license on github, and the resources are available on github too.

What this Homebrew can do:

• Work on o3ds and n3ds!
• Navigate through the PC boxes of a XY/ORAS save and the Bank boxes.
• Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
• Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
• Select some Pokémon (with buttons) and move them to another box.
• Swap an entire box content to another one (pc <-> bank).
• Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
• Prompt a dialog to save/exit/backup during the homebrew execution.
• Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/main).
• Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bank).

How to install it:

• Just extract the archive at (to?) the root of your SD card.
• It must contains:
  • The PHBank files /3ds/PHBank/[PHBankFiles].
  • The cia installer in /cia/PHBank.cia
  • The data files /pk/[DataFiles].

How to import from <= [v1.1.4-beta-a]:

• Install PHBank normally, see above.
• Copy the bank file from /pkbank/bank to /pk/bank/bank.
• You can delete the /pkbank/ folder.

Controls:

Everywhere​

• DPad/CPad: Move the cursor inbox, change box, change pc/bank.
• L/R: Change the current box.
• LZ/RZ: Switch from PC to Bank and vice versa (can be done with Pad and/or stylus too).
• Touchscreen:
  • Move the cursor inbox.
  • Change the current box.
  • Switch PC/Bank.
  • Drag & Drop Pokémon.
  • Change the selection mode.
• Start: Open the savexit menu, for exiting or backing up.
• Select: Switch the selection mode (Single -> Quick -> Multiple).

In Single selection mode (Red):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.

In Quick selection mdoe (Blue):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.
• Y: Swap the current PC box content with the current Bank box content.

In Multiple selection mdoe (Blue):​

• Y: Activate the box selector (TODO: transform it as a button on screen).

Todo List:

• Wonder box
• Display more specific information per Pokémon (Tabs for contest/met/etc).
• Enhance more the GUI.
• When moving Pokémon with the DPad/A, switch the held Pokémon.

Nota Bene:

• I only tested this homebrew with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire on a cartridge on a n3ds (9.3+).
• Not cheat, no kidding.

Thanks to @suloku for all his work on the project.
Thanks to @Kaphotics & @Asia81 (and PKHex's contributors) for the save functions (offset, algorithms) and the data (personal, text).
Thanks to @Slashcash & @Stracker (and PCHex/PCHex++'s contributors) for their help.
Thanks to @Xenosaiga and @ihaveamac for being the cia build.
Thanks to @xerpi (and SF2D/SFTD/SFIL's contributores) for the graphic library.
Thanks to @profi200 and other people on #3dsdev who helped me.
Thanks to @smealum and @yellows8 for the exploits.

Merci !

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you lose or corrupt your save by using this homebrew. It mays contain bugs even within the normal intended use. Use it at your own risk.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP! (Hold L while launching homebrew or/and use tvds/svdt)

Awesome app dude. Been watching the progress on it for a while and plan to put it to use to get all my pokemon into one game. My only concern though.. you say it completes the pokedex when you import pokemon. Does it do this automatically, or do you have the option? Cause if it's going to auto complete my pokedex I don't think I'm going to use it.

I think it means it auto adds the Pokemon u are putting into the game. Not auto finishes it.

Also no need to quote the first post.

Thanks for the info. Btw, when I'm on my phone its easier to quote than tag. Not like it takes much space on the page as the op is collapsed.

Not collapsed.

That's weird. From my view any posts I quote get collapsed.

If you transfer Mudkip from the Bank to the PC, the Mudkip entry will be added in the Pokédex of the save.
The forms are well handled by that too.

Worked perfectly. Finished getting legendaries in X and had no problem moving everything to OR. Great work. Thank you.

So far, it has worked great. I was playing Pokemon Y with the all items cheat to see if it would give me Dive HM and it did not so I moved my Blastoise from Y to AS then learned Dive then sent it back to Y and it worked (although Y treats Dive as a TM so you can overwrite it without the Move Deleter, which is interesting). As an added bonus, this does not strip pokemon of all items like Pokemon Bank does.

Nintendo treats Pokemon Bank like an Airport on high security with the TSA making you remove all items before getting through security (and confiscating any items you can't fit in your bag should it be full).

That was the best thing I've read today!
