answered How to randomize ORAS with new version 2.5 homebrew

[truale]

Smealum shows the new version 2.5 homebrew, and states that rom hacks are now possible. He showed off Omega Ruby "Smea Edition". How do we randomize our own save files with this new homebrew version? Does anyone know?

you can use PK3DS to randomize but to play Randimozed/edited roms you need to make a dump w/ uncart (if on 9.2) or braindump (9.3+ w/ *hax 2.5) and manually patch your roms

(grab Pack Hac 3.5 for RomFSExtractor and extract your romFS for manual patching and RomFSBuilder for rebuilding it after.) w/ a Edited RomFS/prepatched one (shame on you if yoru pirating!) you then need to open it in an Hex Editor and Strip the first 1000 Bytes (in HxD use select block and set end length to FFF)

with your now edited and header-less RomFS rename it to the title ID for example if its X USA then you must rename the romfs.bin to "00055D00.romfs" and copy it to SD:\hans\ (yes you nee dto have a hans folder at the root)

then open HANS and target your Game in the pre-launch options set romfs ->SD to yes. with randomized games thats got a working CRO Edit you want your edited code.bin renamed as titleid.code in that hans folder and set to YES on code ->SD

if your edited Code/romfs is valid and proper you should boot to 2 glitched screens then the game. if its invalid or you F*ked up along the lines you will only stay on a glitched screen.

for Pokemon X&Y you need 1.7GB free

for OR/AS you need 1.8GB Free

Removing the first 0x1000 hex bytes is no longer required when using the latest HANS version:
