It's pretty reliable, the problem is that there are many steps to follow that the user may make a mistake. Working carefully will prevent it. :) Hi Myrosia, I'm sorry if it was too complicated, if you want can you tell me where you had problems? ^^ If you want to use HANS, you can use the HackPack (download link in my guide) to extract the game, rename ExtractedRomFS to romfs_ . But still, it seems you've already got cfw, and it would be a waste, if you still used HANS :(

Sry, I'm not using HANS, not knowledgeable about it, but don't want to leave you hangin - but as far as I know: The problem is, if you update to 11, then you're severely limiting your Homebrew access options. For example: browserhax/menuhax won't work anymore. Other methods require specific games. It's quite a hassle. So if you are only able to use those two hax methods, then don't update. If you got no access to the homebrew launcher, no undub for you ^^ It's best if you downgrade, and use cfw. I use cfw and can use DLC without problem.

Yes, the special edition did come with a home theme, but only as a preorder bonus. If you preordered with Amazon, you should have gotten a mail with a redeeming code. Yes, DLCs can be downloaded and played, you don't need the cartridge if you mean that. Yes, they will work even on the patched one. But as far as I know, for Hans users without cfw they won't. Yes, you should feel ashamed, you are horrible person. Just kiddin lol. Don't feel bad if you missed the home theme, it's ... "ok", no, ITS BAD. This is just my opinion: I wished for a goddamn wide panorama shot like in the package, but it's a close up shot in the upper screen, and the other bottom half showing their goddamn feet is displayed in the touch screen... URGH. Sound choice is ... "ok", I guess. But I'd prefer sth soothing with Azura's voice.

Yes, it's already unlocked on the special edition, no need to download it :)

Glad it worked! Do you mean the revelations part? If you got the special editions, you already got this

In the end I chose Hoshido because Nohr seems to be a bit more challenging. And I prefer having a challenge after being prepared. lol, I spent more time planning future pair ups/skill builds than playing xD But I belong to these type of weirdos who love planning ^^"

Let's hope for the best :) BTW Currently playing Chapter 6, really LOVING the undub, but god it was NOT easy (rather really painful) to choose a side haha

lol k good about those file names, darkness mentioned about the possibility of corrupted file names, guess it's now proven that the new Hackpack fixed that error. Yeah, try it again with the checkbox, see if it helps. And yes, the order is correct: file must always be reencrypted before using cia converter.

Sry, had to go take a nap, haha. Ok, that's weird, some questions: Did you use the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition? If yes, how big is your encrypted .3ds file? Can you look inside your ExtractedRomFS/m/@U folder and check if there are japanese file names and/or if there are weird file names with "________"? And I checked the .3ds to cia guide to see he forgot to mention that you have to check the box with Firmware Spoof in the converter (well the creator of the program recommends it). It was checked for me while creating nccinfo.bin AND the actual converting process. luyairis is back!! Welcome back :DD

Glad it worked! Yes, it's a long, power consuming way, but so much worth the effort, haha Edit: Also thx for mentioning the hourglass9, had to delete that part in the guide with decrypt9 and a9lh

I edited my post above :) I'm also no pro at this, but will do my best to help (I got cfw just for Fire Emblem Fates xD)

Hi, Shana Urgh, yeah, Plailect's a9lh guide gets freakin updated on a weekly,even daily basis, many things change. It seems that they kinda got rid of Decrypt9WIP for Hourglass9 - a seemingly simpler/safer alternative, but missing some options (like the game decryptor), so start button reboot won't start Decrypt9, but Hourglass9 instead. So try to get Decrypt9 running: Download Decryp9 from here https://github.com/d0k3/Decrypt9WIP/releases extract, rename Decrypt9WIP.bin to start_Dec9.bin, and copy it to the luma payloads folder, delete the Hourglass9 file. (Make a backup first) Tell me if it works. About the HOmebrew Launcher: Provided you did everything perfectly in setting up a9lh (props to you), it still can happen that it will take some tries to start Homebrews/even the launcher.

Hi, Darkness, there you are, welcome back! Yes, I've waited for you desperately in the past days, haha! ^^ Are you sure about those file names? I looked into the extracted Folder (thank god I made backups), and it seems the file names kept their japanese characters: http://postimg.org/image/b3pwktygb/ http://postimg.org/image/p182q4wiz/​ Please post the location of these faulty files, and I'll check again :) (Remember, I don't use the Fanslation patch, so those japanese file names can't come from it :D (also forgot to mention how to copy for the fanslation, but guys will know the drill by now) Did you use the latest HackPack? The creator updated these packs just like 2 days ago with these patch notes: Changelog v5.2: Fixed: All scripts, broken in 5.1 are now fixed. <- Edited: The .3DS extraction script <- Edited: The .CXI Extraction script Edited: The .CIA extraction script Edited: The MassExtractor script Added: Script for rebuild a .3DS. Include the manual and all other extra-files. Added: Script for rebuild a .CIA. Include the manual and all other extra-files. Removed: SDK6 script Removed: SDK7 script Removed: Padxorer script Removed: CtrKeyGen script Removed: FAT16 script Removed: Pokemon Patch Rebuild Script. Because you can now rebuild any CIA, not just pokemon. Planned: Improve the CIA extraction Planned: Imporove the MassExtraction script I'm also using Windows 10 64bit, German.

Yes, false positive like always with todays anti virus softwares. The Source is from here - with over 200.000 views on that Tutorial alone, we can say it's trustworthy, huh? ^^ Sry for the late reply because I wanted to reproduce your freeze: And jesus, it seems I had luck right at the first time! There was no freeze, FBI installed it completely. After deleting the title, and trying the cia install again, it got freakin stuck at 80% with freeze like you told. I had to try it 2 more times (stuck at around 50%), but at the third time FBI installed it completely fine, no problem. FBI doesn't seem to work perfectly at handling big files and in the patch notes there's even a point about "Fixed freeze during a CIA installation", guess it's not fixed completely. Edit: It's actually a pretty known issue, the issue with big sizes seems to be true. So don't trust on the fact that the game seems to be working fine even with the freeze, FBI WILL eventually install it completely fine after multiple attempts. Be on the safe side! Be sure to have the power cable plugged in, and the 3DS open while install. If the problem persists, try it with FBI v2.2.1. Thx for mentioning this, I will add this in the guide!

Ok, I did it, finally! This are the steps I took, follow them carefully. Thanks to AlphStein for his information about the European patch structure! Writing the guide right now, this will take a while (Edit: finished). And pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker. Some information in the beginning: I didn't use the playable Chrom, Lissa, Frederick .cia because I didn't want to risk my DLCs to be deleted. "Does this work online?" Yes. "Really? What about DLCS?" Yes, even DLCs. Guide for EUR cfw users who want to permanently patch 1) Download all the files you want from OP to be integrated in your game (Swimsuits, Undub, Name Patch, Fanslation) , DO NOT DOWNLOAD the patcher: It's currently ONLY for US, let's hope the team doesn't forget about us, EU boyz/girlz. :) Extract all those files. 2) a) Get the homebrew Uncart or GW launcher, tools to dump your cartridge as .3ds file. A9LH users: You already got Uncart. Other users: Just follow thedude28's extensive guide (OP paste bin, follow "Step 1: Dumping the game into a .3ds file" or set up Uncart. b) Get Decrypt9WIP 3) Insert your game cartridge and start Uncart: A9LH users: Hold X on boot to launch it. Other cfw users: Just start Uncart/GW launcher like any Homebrew with the Homebrew launcher. 4) Press any key twice, to start the dumping. This will take a while. 5) In the mean time, download HToolkit3ds from here. 6) Extract the files somewhere and navigate to PackHack folder, start SetupUS.exe and let it install. 7) After Uncart finished dumping (The finished message will be displayed on top!), turn off your 3DS, get your SD card out and in your computer and look for a .3ds file located in your root of your SD card, called CTR-P-XXXX.3ds (With X as some numbers). 8) Create a new folder, name it "D9Game", then move your CTR-P-XXXX.3ds inside it. 9) In the PackEnglishv5.2 folder you previously downloaded, there will another folder called "SecretFiles", copy all missing .bin files into the root of your SD card. 10) Put your SD back in your 3DS, and start Decrypt9WIP: A9LH users: Hold Start on boot to launch. Other cfw: Start with Homebrew launcher. 11) Choose "Game Decryptor Options" -> "NCCH/NCSD Decryptor". This will take a while! 12) Return to the menu, and press SELECT to unmount SD. 13) Move your SD to your computer, look inside the D9Game folder and move the now modified/decrypted CTR-P-XXXX.3ds to the PackHack folder, where you found the SetupUS.exe file. 14) This time start "HackingToolkit3DS.exe". (can trigger a false positive by anti virus) Press D and Enter, type the exact name of your moved .3ds file (without extension): for example CTR-P-1245 The program will ask if you want to decrompress a file, choose y for yes. This will take a while. 15) Now the real copying fun starts. There will be new folders, but we are just interested in the "ExtractedRomFS" folder. Next steps will depend what you downloaded/want for your game. for the downloaded NameChangePatch: navigate to "patch/rom/m/@E" and copy ALL the lz files. Now go inside the previously mentioned "ExtractedRomFS" folder. Inside the m folder, you will see country code files called @F (for France), @G (germany), @I (Italy), @S, @U (UnitedKingdom). Go in each of them (to be on the safe side) and paste your copied files. Now navigate in the downloaded Namechangepatch "patch/rom/m/", inside "A"/"B"/"C" folders you will see @E folders again, go in each of them, copy all the files, navigate to the "ExtractedRomFS/m" counterpart and paste those suckers inside the country code files. You know the drill. RestoreSwimsuitPatch: just copy/merge/replace "GameData" UndubPatch: copy/merge/replace "GameData", "movie" and "sound". Inside m/@E, copy MyUnitEdit.bin.lz and paste it in each of the country code files. 16) Inside where "HackingToolkit3DS.exe" located, move CTR-P-XXXX.3d somewhere else as a backup, now start "HackingToolkit3DS.exe" again, but this time press R/Enter to FINALLY REBUILD. Program will ask you how to name the custom .3ds, name it like your previously moved CTR-P-XXXX file. This will take a while. 17) Inside the PackHack folder, copy the new CTR-P-XXXX.3ds file and paste it inside the D9Game folder on your SD card. Put the SD back inside your 3DS, press b to return to the menu, in the "Game Decryptor Options" now choose "NCCH/NCSD Encryptor" to encrypt the modified .3ds file. This will take a while. ("STOP TELLING ME THIS" - I'm sorry ) 18) What's that smell? Smells like hope and sunlight. Gateway users: You are ready to use that encrypted .3ds file to play the shit out of it. Other users: I'm sorry. This will still take a while ("..."), but nearly finished. You just have to convert the encrypted .3ds file into a .cia file. Edit: At this point I'm f*cking exhausted, but no worries. Follow this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/4hwuhf/, download Simple CIA Conver in step 2.1, but start from step 2.3 . You just have to move the encrypted .3ds file inside the "roms" folder. Edit (5.6.2015): FW spoof was checked for me while creating nccinfo.bin AND converting. !!IMPORTANT IF YOU INSTALL CIA WITH FBI!! As Soundmaniac mentioned, FBI can get stuck with a freeze while installing the CIA! This is not because of a faulty .cia but it seems FBI doesn't work perfectly at handling big .cia files. So try restarting your 3DS and FBI, and keep trying! FBI WILL eventually install it completely fine without freezing! It worked at my first attempt (I'm using FBI v2.2.6), then failed two times (test installs), and worked again. Be sure to have the cable plugged in, and your 3DS open!
