Inside the DCIM and Nitendo 3DS folders are just other folders with random numbers and letters, I just don't know where to put the PHBank folders. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Bruno, looks like your don't have a CFW installed on your system. A CFW is needed to install PHBank.

Follow this guide to do so:

Just a minor correction. You don't NEED CFW to use PHBank. It's harder, and with PASLR, Pokémon OR/AS are trial and error, but you can use it with HBL. That said, installation instructions are provided in the first post :)

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].

Hi. This seems great, however I can't run it.
It starts loading and then just flashes "The app execution ended. Thanks for being awesome!" before returning to the 3ds home menu.
Can someon give me a hand?

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.

All of these features are already implemented into PKSM. That is honestly the only one anyone needs now, it combines PCHeX++, PHBank And a Wonder Card injector. Not to mention, it's being still a WIP and constantly being worked on. Which sort of explains the fact the none of these devs have rekindled their own threads. There is no need to when there is literally a one-size-fits-all app that works for everything. The only other one I recommend is GBPHbank (The Gen 1 Pokemon bank) since it's the ONLY app I know of that will bank your Gen 1 pokemon until the official update in Jan.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
