Sorry to be "that guy," but... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+homebrew

didn't raahaahaa offer to work on something roughly equatable to this? you ever hit him up on that?

it is.

2.7.11 iirc

There's a couple things I'd appreciate them taking a crack at after they get the Amie patch working. There's this, Kana's apparently stripped out ability to wear certain accessories, and I know there a good number of us who'd appreciate a version of the accessory shop that uses the western item id order with the swimsuits at the end of the list.

not really, no. 10.6 patched out menuhax and browserhax so OoTHax off the Nintendo Selects release is your cheapest entry point now. Its pretty reliable once you've got it going.

Cool. That's good to hear.

If this is giving you guys too hard a time it might be a good time to solicit outside advice. A coder from outside the team might be able to come up with something you haven't tried provided you let them in on everything you've been using for it..

If you do decide to get OoTHacks its $20 for a copy. You'll also need a way to load the hacked save onto the cart. I use powersave which is another $15 if you don't have one.

thankfully the OoT selects edition works with OoThacks, so its not as expensive as it used to be.

I would assume it is, but the difficulty of doing depends on what kind of tools the team is using. I'd assume its not a simple thing to do and would require a fair bit of trial and error hex editing, but I don't really know much about hacking tbh. I do know that the changes would just have to be made to the two files used in the patch however. If this can be done and the four swimsuits can be moved to the end of the item id list without changing the item order for the rest of the items from how they are ordered in the western release I'd very much appreciate it.

If I'm not mistaken its all three path +paralogues and the more controversial supports. the new team is working on the rest of the supports atm.

Seems like the only thing left now is the Amie patch. I'm sure division 2 will continue to tinker away at the translation patches' support convos in the meantime.

They replaced the item ID list with the Japanese version's item ID list. To be clear, the game doesn't care what the item is called. when another player interacts with a character of yours that has an accessory on it will load up whatever item reference ID that character's accessory points to. If memory serves this patch will swap out the love bracelet for the shell swimsuit, so in that case the example is as follows: Your character is using the shell swimsuit which points to item id 3B. A player with an unpatched game then runs across your character. For them item ID is the Love Bracelet so they see your character wearing that instead. Following this it is likely that gifting someone without the patch a shell swimsuit will likely just result in them getting a love bracelet. The four items that actually cause problems with the patch are the four I listed in my post above this one. Unpatched those items are fine, but when you apply the patch any copies of those items you own become other items due to the item ids being moved around. For instance, the emblem shield on the localized version points to item ID 39. With the patch item ID 39 becomes the flower swimsuit and the emblem shield is moved to item ID 3D. Here's the problem though, item IDs 3D (emblem shield), 3E (Hoshidan mask), 3F (love bracelet), and 40 (love swimsuit) are all IDs that were completely stripped from the localized version. The result is that if an unpatched version ever tries to call on these IDs because they encountered a character from your patched game that is using one of those four accessories they will crash. Its because those item IDs lead to a null value in their game that they crash.

I broke it down earlier in the thread, but here's the relevant snippit:knowing what I know about the way the accessory shop patch changed the item reference list, these are the items that once that patch is in use will crash other player's list. 1. Item Reference 3D Emblem Shield 2. Item Reference 3E Hoshidan Mask 3. Item Reference 3F Love Bracelet 4. Item Reference 40 Love Swimsuit Bare in mind that these items were moved to the bottom of the list by the patch, so if you had them before using the patch you wont have them after the patch is installed. I actually have my doubts as to whether or not they're even obtainable with the patch installed as some of these are supposed to be given to the players after conditions are met.

that's literally impossible. You'd end up giving them something else entirely. that patch completely swaps around the item list. Furthermore, the swimsuits aren't so much locked out in the localized release as much as they were completely stripped out of the game's code.

Sorry, what exactly is going on with amie? Is it working with english voices but not with undub?

I also recall Smealum saying that the next release for the homebrew launcher would be delayed until he figures out how to get HANS to patch update data.

Yeah, that's what's gong to serve as the base for what they'll give us on this thread once they get the kinks ironed out and make sure it works on the western release as intended. More to the point though, even in the other thread its telling me they haven't finished the supports, so We're still waiting either way. :\

tbh, I'm sure that's what a lot of us are waiting for.

As far as I know you can only do that with a custom firmware. You can currently update an emunand running a custom firmware to the most recent version (10.7) and it will still work fine, but on an unmodded firmware you'll only have access to HANS from the homebrew menu and that can only patch so much.

I've been told that HANS can be used for a digital copy, but it still can't patch anything DLC which includes the downloaded paths. Also, on 10.6 you'll need to acquire Cubic Ninja or Ocarina of Time 3D in order to access Homebrew before you can do anything. The Nintendo Selects edition of OoT3D that just came out still works for this purpose and is only $20 but you will likely need a Power Saves or something similar in order to load the hacked save file onto it.

As the dude said, if the files you're modding are in the base game and the dlc just references that then it'll work in dlc. Since you mention the special edition though I should point out that since the special edition has all three paths on the cart's rom HANS can patch all three of them at the same time. If you have the Special Edition then count yourself lucky.

The only way to patch dlc (in this case conquest and revelations are also considered DLC as that's how the 3DS treats them when downloaded from in game) or access online content while using a patch is if you are running a custom firmware (CFW). using HANS (the non-CFW method) will only temporarily patch the game, so you'll be able to buy your dlc if you run the game without booting it through HANS, but while using HANS you won't be able to patch any DLC or access online content.

You won't get shadowbanned for using the undub or the translation patch when its released, or the amie patch for that matter. they can't be detected by the system or nintendo. Using the swimsuits however presents its own risk. It can cause people without the patch to crash if they visit your mycastle or play against you online and one of your units is wearing one of them. The reason for that is that their game will try to call an item reference id that for them doesn't exist. It hasn't been tested but you might be able to avoid this by simply removing any items that have "dangerous" IDs from your units before using the update mycastle function. Because the accessory patch moves the ids around I'm not entirely sure which items need to be avoided. some items, like the love bracelet for example, become swimsuits with that patch while the and the item it was gets moved down the list as I understand it. That would mean that the swimsuit in that case is safe as it wil just appear as the item it was pre-patch for other players and not crash their game whereas the item that was moved down the list will end up crashing their game instead. Edit: knowing what I know about the way the accessory shop patch changed the item reference list, these are the items that once that patch is in use will crash other player's list. 1. Item Reference 3D Emblem Shield 2. Item Reference 3E Hoshidan Mask 3. Item Reference 3F Love Bracelet 4. Item Reference 40 Love Swimsuit Bear in mind that the Love Swimsuit is a toga and as such was not removed from the western release. The reason that these four items are not dangerous to use online is that the patch switched out the reference list with the japanese version's list and that caused a bunch of items to be moved around. I would highly reccomend to Team If to use the Western ID list to make this less problematic and clear cut to users of the patch. As it stands these items are far more likely to be used than the swimsuits by the usual user. As someone who hasn't used the patch yet I'm also concerned about how this will effect the love bracelet and Emblem shield as both of them have to be unlocked in the shop by meeting special conditions before they can be bought and I don't know that you addressed this as the result would be the game pointing to the wrong item and these items being unattainable. Its also disorienting for all the items to get swapped around with the patch installed, not to mention the odd way it effects character stats in online. I recognize that you likely went with the japanese list due to a fair number of users transferring saves from the japanese edition, but to that end I might just suggest making an alternate version with the western list and sticking on the OP.
