Hello everybody, I am new here, this is my first post for my first homebrew on the 2DS/3DS. I was looking for my first homebrew to program so I decided to write an hex editor : it's interesting to write it and I think it can be useful for you.

Features:

• Browse sdcard
• Edit a file
• Save a modified file (might take a while if the file is big)

How to edit a file:
From the browser, use the D-Pad to navigate between files/folders and press A to select. Then the editor will open the file (can take a moment if the file is big). You will be able to naviguate throught the bytes with the pad and edit the values thanks to the small keyboard on the bottom screen.

Go to address:
On the hex editor, you can go directly to a given address. To do so, press X and then enter the address with the virtual keyboard. To validate the address, just press A. To cancel, press X again, the small window will disappear.

Exit to homebrew launcher:
Press Select to return to the launcher. WARNING, the file won't be saved if you exit ! So save the file before exiting (with Start button)

Screenshots:
Homescreen:

editor:

goto window:

Known bugs:
A lot, in both file browser and the editor itself.
I am still woking on it, it's only a kind of preview.

THANKS TO:
Big thanks to all the developers who created libctru, homebrew launcher, *hax... Well, 3DS hack.

This is still a BETA
If you have any suggestion, feel free to tell me

Awesome work! Always good seeing new homebrew come about
Personally this isn't something I would use, but it's definitely a handy tool and I get the feeling people will use it
Especially being able to edit hex values for some stuff (IIRC it could be done to do stuff with badge arcade? I think)

 

[Cha0s Em3rald]

Nice release that I'm sure will be handy to some people

 

[marshmallow]

Thank you,
I think it's more convenient to do this on a computer but I saw few posts asking for an hex editor, so I told to myself : why not ?

 

[Buttsnake]

Nice work man, when it's finished I might use it. This looks really awesome

 

[DesuIsSparta]

I'll likely never use it myself, but great job!

 

[SLiV3R]

Very cool release! Welcome to the 3DS scene

Would this make it easy for us to let our mii have gold pants?

 

[VaiCorinthians]

great job!

 

[marshmallow]

Thanks for your support guys.

This is a classic hex editor, so it's possible to let your mii have a gold pant as soon as you edit the right file, at the right offset with the correct value

Cool!

Perhaps we could have a preset with this homebrew that gives our miis golden pants? That would be awesome

Yeah. Something like

'You enter the home menu there are two options'
1. Normal Hex Editor
2. Make your Mii a pimp

then you click on make your mii a pimp and you can choose which mii you want from the name you give it. Click A and badda boom badda bing. Your Mii will be getting all the ladies.

more FFE item hacking on the go I guess.

Anyone have a recommendation to copy a file in 3ds?

 

[Damon_girl]

This is awesome! I don't know much about hex editing so I'm hoping people will post some of their edits for apps and stuff so other people can duplicate it.

Thank you !
@BurningDesire and @SLiV3R gave me an interesting idea which matches with what you said. I am currently thinking about doing something like this, I will keep you all informed

 

[gamefan5]

And now I can hex editmy weapons in KIU withiut taking my card out. GENIUS! XD

 

[katrain]

Nice work! Don't know how often I would use this but this is cool, especially since this is your first release.

Like a file browser? I'd recommend CTRXplorer

 

[Urbanshadow]

This might be the only thing to redirect payload paths without actually using a pc. I like it.

 

[dark_samus3]

It'd be cool to see some source code otherwise props to the OP
