3DS:Randomizing Pokémon

2024-02-14T03:59:25Z

ToxicAven: Cartrige -> Cartridge in tabber

This Guide will show you how to randomize the generation 6 and 7 Pokémon games on the Nintendo 3DS using LayeredFS and Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX.

==Compatibility Notes==

{{info|This guide requires you have [[Custom firmware|CFW]] with [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] 8.0+ (preferably latest).}}
{{info|This guide requires a computer running Windows, MacOS, or Linux.}}

== What You Need ==

*The latest release of [https://github.com/Ajarmar/universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx/releases Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX]
*The latest release of [https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases GodMode9]
*[https://www.java.com/en/download/ Java] 8 (or higher), 64-bit

==Instructions==

===Section I - Prep Work===

# Copy <code>GodMode9.firm</code> from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads</code> folder on your SD card
# Copy the <code>gm9</code> folder from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Reinsert your SD card into your device

===Section II - Dumping Your Game===

You will need to dump both your game, and game update. If you don't load the game update into the randomizer, the patch may cause a crash if applied while the update is still installed. Any TitleID starting with <code>00040000</code> is a game, and <code>0004000E</code> is a game update. You can find the TitleID of your game using [http://www.3dsdb.com/ 3dsdb].

<tabber>
|-|Game Cartridge=

# Press and hold {{B|Start}}, while still holding {{B|Start}}, power on your console to launch GodMode9
# Navigate to <code>[C:] GAMECART</code>
# Press {{B|A}} on <code>[TitleID].trim.3ds</code>
# Select NCSD image options...
# Select Build CIA from file
# Your dumped <code>.cia</code> can be found in <code>/gm9/out/</code>

|-|Installed Title/Game Update=

# Press and hold {{B|Start}}, while still holding {{B|Start}}, power on your console to launch GodMode9
# Press {{B|Home}} to bring up the action menu
# Select Title manager
# Select <code>[:A] SD CARD</code>
# Navigate to the game or update your wish to dump and select it
# Select Manage Title...
# Select Build CIA (standard)
# Your dumped <code>.cia</code> can be found in <code>/gm9/out/</code>

</tabber>

===Section III - Randomizing Your Game===

# Power off your console
# Insert your SD Card into your computer and move the game/update <code>.cias</code> from <code>/gm9/out/</code> to '''somewhere on your pc'''
# Extract the PokeRandoZX <code>.zip</code> and double click on the launcher file for your OS
#* <code>launcher_WINDOWS.bat</code> for Windows
#* <code>launcher_MAC.command</code> for Mac
#* <code>launcher_UNIX.sh</code> for Unix-based systems
# Click on "Open ROM" and load the <code>[Game].cia</code> you made earlier
# (Optional) Click on Settings -> Load Game Update, and load the <code>[GameUpdate].cia</code> you made earlier
# Select whatever randomizer settings you want
# Once finished, Click on "Randomize (Save)" and select LayeredFS as your output
#* If you loaded a game update you will only be able to select layeredFS
#* Your layeredFS patch will be saved as a folder with the <code>[TitleID]</code> matching the game you randomized

===Section IV - Patching Your Game===

#Copy the layeredFS <code>[TitleID]</code> folder to <code>/luma/titles/</code> on your SD Card
#* Create a <code>titles</code> folder if you don't already have one
# Eject your SD Card and reinsert it into your console
# Press and hold {{B|Select}}, while still holding {{B|Select}}, power on your console to open luma config
# Ensure <code>Enable game patching</code> is on and then press {{B|Start}} to save and exit

{{success|Congratulations! Your game should now be randomized.}}

3DS:Safe Mode

2024-01-28T21:10:04Z

ToxicAven: Prefer HBL-USM over BB3 USM

'''Safe Mode''', also known as '''SAFE_FIRM''', is a part of the 3DS' stock firmware that allows the device to perform a System Update without loading the HOME Menu or most system functions. To access Safe Mode, hold {{B|L}} + {{B|R}} + {{B|(D-Pad Up)}} + {{B|A}} and then powering on - if successful, the 3DS will show the System Update screen. 
There is no alternate keycombo, so if one of the needed buttons is broken, you will be unable to access Safe Mode.

== Why it's useful ==

=== Exploits ===
The custom firmware method recommended for 11.16.0, [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (HBL-USM)|unSAFE_MODE]], uses a flaw in Safe Mode's Internet Settings that can be used to install custom firmware. This is because Nintendo is more reluctant to update Safe Mode to patch exploits (since an unmodded 3DS would have no way to fix a brick by doing a system update if SAFE_FIRM were also bricked).

There are two other Safe Mode-based exploits that are now unusable:

- [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (safecerthax)|safecerthax]] was an exploit for original 3DS and original 3DS XL models that ran under Safe Mode, and used the SSLoth vulnerability that was still available under SAFE_FIRM. This was patched in 11.15 by patching SSLoth in a similar fashion to NATIVE.

- [https://github.com/TiniVi/safehax safehax] allowed the console to load a <code>.bin</code> payload after being loaded from Homebrew Launcher due to the Safe Mode firmware being outdated and the console being able to load SAFE_FIRM (the Safe Mode firmware) when the console was booted into normal firmware. This exploit was given a partial patch in version 11.3 and fully patched in version 11.4.

===Redownloading system applications===
Safe Mode reinstalls most deleted or corrupted system titles, the same as a regular System Update, which can also help if you need one of those titles to fix another issue.

===Troubleshooting===
Because Safe Mode is in a unique partition of the 3DS' firmware (SAFE_FIRM), it can fix crashes on boot that are caused by corrupted/deleted system titles or extremely outdated firmware, as only NATIVE_FIRM is affected by these. The best way to avoid bricks is to keep custom firmware installed, however, and most crashes not in the above list will require access to GodMode9 to fix - if you have an issue that disables access to GodMode9, you will most likely need [[3DS:ntrboot|a flashcart compatible with ntrboot]] to fix the issue.

ToxicAven: Formatting issue

{{#approvable_by: users = ManiacOfHomebrew}}
{{Page WIP|notes=*I want to expand this to include AM/PM indicators, but I'm not sure if it'll be possible.
*In addition, I would like this to work across all applets, but that will take some time to flesh out.}}

==Required Reading==
The 3DS uses the 24-hour time format to display the time on the HOME menu among other applets. This guide shows you how to convert the 3DS system's clock on the HUD of the Home Menu to a 12-hour format. This will not affect other applets such as System Settings or the Nintendo eShop at the moment.


==What You Need==

*The latest version of [https://github.com/schrmh/HMRT Home Menu Rebuilding Tool]
** To download, click the green code button, and then Download ZIP.
*The latest version of [https://github.com/IcySon55/3DLandMSBTeditor/releases MSBT Editor Reloaded]
*The latest version of [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Updating GodMode9|GodMode9]] installed
*A Windows Computer, or Wine for Mac/Linux (Required to run MSBT Editor)

==Instructions==

#Select "Manage Title..."
#Select "Build CIA (standard)"
#Push {{Key press|A}} once it is finished
#Push {{Key press|R|Start}} to power off the console
#Insert the SD Card into your computer
#Backup the <code>.cia</code> file in the <code>gm9/out</code> folder to a safe place on your computer. It ends with <code>(CTR-N-HMME).standard.cia</code>
#Make another copy of this <code>.cia</code> file in the folder created in step 1
#Rename it to <code>HomeMenu.cia</code>
#Copy <code>HomeMenu.cia</code> to the Home Menu Rebuilding Tool folder

===Section II - Modifying===

ToxicAven: Clarify folder creation, and strange whitespace

{{#approvable_by: users = ManiacOfHomebrew}}
{{Page WIP|notes=*I want to expand this to include AM/PM indicators, but I'm not sure if it'll be possible.
*In addition, I would like this to work across all applets, but that will take some time to flesh out.}}

The 3DS uses the 24-hour time format to display the time on the HOME menu among other applets. This guide shows you how to convert the 3DS system's clock on the HUD of the Home Menu to a 12-hour format. This will not affect other applets such as System Settings or the Nintendo eShop at the moment.
