Sun/Moon Update 1.1 & SMPatcher

(Pokemon Sun/Moon covers 1)

Nintendo has released a patch for Pokémon Sun and Moon introducing the following game balance fixes 2:

Quote
  • Fixes glitch that caused battles to not continue when Z-Memento and Z-Parting Shot were used on Battle spot
  • Fixed a glitch that determined the wrong winner if the Rocky Helmet caused both players to lose their final Pokémon
  • Fixed a glitch where Pokémon wouldn't learn moves after they evolved such as with Kadabra and Confusion
  • Alterations to some Battle Tree Pokémon - Change of Kommo-o's move from Shell Smash to Draco Meteor
  • Various Bug Fixes

Battle videos recorded before applying the update are incompatible with this patch and will be unplayable after installing it.

With regards to game hacking, this may break ROM hacks, depending on whether or not the ROM hack modified the game's executable.  If you are playing such a ROM hack, you will either need to refrain from updating or wait for the author to update the hack.  Save editors like PKHeX are unaffected.

@SciresM's SMPatcher has been updated to version 1.1 to provide compatibility with the update, and can be downloaded here 3.  If you are new to SMPatcher, it will modify the game executable to make QR scanning and PKHeX importing much similar.  In order to use it, you will need to have CFW, which can currently be installed using the latest firmware.  The recommended installation guide can be found here.  Here is a list of patches that SMPatcher can apply to Sun or Moon:

Quote
  • Allows for the resigning of any QR type, via hooked QR decryption.
  • Allows for the scanning of Injection QRs, generatable via PKHeX
  • Grants unlimited QR scans/day
  • Enables one to scan the same QR multiple times.
  • Optionally, disable outlines from being drawn.

Ah nah, I didn't really need help on getting it working, I was just curious on how SciresM got that to work. It sounds really cool and pretty convenient. (Would external code.bin patching work on O3DS? Considering extended memory mode and all that.)

Would it theoretically be possible to hack the OR/AS secret base QR scanner to allow injecting in the same way?

It's handled by Luma, so probably.  IIRC, NTR is the only thing that has trouble, since it's not a proper CFW and has to be launched with a cia.

Mainly asking because the region emulation from Luma didn't seem to work when I tried it with Sun/Moon, so I wasn't sure. Or maybe I was doing it wrong somehow x: it worked fine with OR/AS though.

Luma's region emulation only changes language setting, the 3DS is reported as the actual region and subregion. That's why I have a regionchanged japanese emunand.

Luma allows to receive other region events, but if you get the pokémon, it'll have wrong region data (but correct language).

I was able to receive European Wi-Fi events on OR with the language emulation, however scanning region-specific QR codes in S/M didn't work, acted as if nothing had changed. Does S/M actually look at the country and not the language, when it comes to scanning QR codes? That would explain it.

Wait, you're saying luma never did region emulation? (I mean, you could change the region in the settings)

In that case, one may use NTR region emulation.

you may need to emulate the 3DS region too.
(or maybe it checks against the save?)

Luma spoofs region + language, but not country/sub-region.

I don't know about save file, that's a possibility. Might be worth checking if that affects it, although I can't say I'm really motivated to do that right now.

Hi Question, Does the latest Pkhex still have the illegal mode? if yes how do we activate it again?

I literally copied ctrtool.exe file version is not compatible with the OS and this is the first hit I got from Google:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-inject-any-app-into-health-safety-o3ds-n3ds-cfw-only.402236/page-8#post-5939874

which lead me to here (try the release below that says x86):

I did everything in the Injection Guide but I didn't got a CIA file I got a 3ds file instead when I did the Dump Cart so what now? I have a Luma Old 3ds 11.2 and I did the dumping with Hourglass 9 , It also gives this https://gyazo.com/a7f15156f5ff7792745bc9ff03442d2e , I updated my Pokemon Sun to 1.1 I have a Cartridge of it
