Pokémon Nova Sun & Umbra Moon: Fully-featured, challenging Sun/Moon ROMhacks!

[Lorick]

is there any way you can make a tutorial for the people who use homebrew and hans? ive spent 3 hours trying to install this but your instructions are very vague...for example when I try to run the setup.bat it keeps saying that the romfs.bin is missing and that like 0 files are found, then it shows its trying to find it in the extracted_ROM folder so I move the romfs.bin there, but then it says system can not find specified path, then it says Rebuild of  (Leveled Build) as a Hans pack is complete. Copy the contents of the Hans_Built folder to the root of your 3DS SD card. Hans builds of  cannot have edited Pokemarts or be used on Old 3DS/2DS Systems. So I do all that and then when I load up homebrew the Nova Sun appears but everytime I go to run it the screen turn black for a few seconds then goes back to the homebrew launcher. please help

I was playing through Umbra moon on Citra-emu and this happened. Are trainers scripted to have shinies, or is this one of those 1/4096 moments. 
I'm playing on Citra b/c I have an O3ds without cfw.

Btw the shops don't work for me (tried Route 1 and Hau'oli Pokemon Centers) any suggestions?

 

Its this guy if you're wondering:

Not sure If this was a one time occurance but for some reason after bearing Guzma the second time and the Grunt runs out the game softlocks.....leaving Guzma....creepily staring at me.

[Ruwisc]

Shops seem to be bugged for me now - talking to the shopkeeper softlocks the game. I'm guessing that there's a conflict with Luma 8.1, because they have worked for me in the past.

[alguidrag]

Anyone can help me? When open the setup appears that i dont have the net framework 4.6, but when i try to install say that it cant be install in windows 7

Is there any way to play the expanded build but totally vanilla so the only changes to the game are evolution methods and wild encounters? I've tried leaving out all the unneeded files but the end result is that the wild pokemon are still curved as per the leveled build.

If you only wanted to use the wild encounters from this hack without the actual hack, you would have to manually edit every encounter level back to the standard ones.

Update the ROM hack to the latest version. This happens when there's a version mismatch between NS/UM and the update of Sun and Moon. If you are running Sun and Moon v1.2, you need Nova Sun/Umbra Moon v1.5+. Follow the instructions on the second post of this thread to properly update from NSUM v1.4 or lower to NSUM v1.8.

Alternatively, if you are using NSUM v1.8, you need to update your Sun/Moon to v1.2.

Good
Have you thought about making bigger changes? For example editing and improving base stats, change types in some pokemon and make them come out with hidden ability?

That won't happen in these hacks. I place some value on "honesty" to the player: Everything in these hacks is within the bounds of the standard game. I want my challenge to come from legitimate strategies, not surprise moves/typing.

Think of it this way. If you got swept by Guts + Bulk Up Heracross, you'd feel like you lost, but you lost to something you understand.

If you got swept by Bulk Up 120 Base Attack Iron Fist Ledian's new Bug Punch move (80BP and can flinch), you'd feel betrayed and there was no way for you to see what was coming.

There are now new instructions and structure for building HANS packs.

[pkman99]

I installed Both Nova sun and Umbra Moon and both are not showing the new items in shops the prices did change but removed items are still listed.

I installed with the drag & drop method and using Luma 8.1.1

 

Ruutile Ruby is working correctly so I have no idea why its not working as it should, I see on GBATemp others are also mentioning the shops not been updated correctly

That worked thanks a lot, now time to replay

[Ink Dragon]

Not sure if this is an issue on your end or on luma but I have an o3ds with luma 8.1.1 and running a digital copy of sun with nova sun & isp patches results in crashes at the first battle with Hau.

I only have the issue with the digital copy, running same patches(built for moon) it with my moon cart version results in no error.

Is it an incompatibility with the patches or should I report to luma's dev?

[Pan5ophy]

Thank you for updating the hans method! But now when im trying to launch the game from homebrew menu, i just get a red screen on the bottom.. Any help?

[BlueRoseRayquaza]

Hi! I've tried both the all-in-one method and individual .bat methods for both games, and I can't get the Modified_rom.cia to appear. Is there something I'm missing?

[Ink Dragon]

@Dio_Vento

Using the legit(1.9) build for Moon, Drampa found on Blush Mountain(Geothermal Power Plant) off Route 12 are not Legit. While Turtonator can be found there in Sun Drampa shouldn't be.

Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind for Penumbra/Supernova

Hey,

 

do you have an idea when you will release the patches for ultra sun/ultra moon.

Will this happen in the next few weeks or will it take longer.

I´m just wondering if I should wait to play my first run with your patch or if this will be later.

I won't do an ETA, but... I think you should wait.

[Prof. Eibe]

Alright thanks.

Then my christmas present will have to wait a little bit

I officially announced on GBAtemp they're coming out this month! Hopefully sooner rather than on, like, the 30th.

[Monitomen]

[MatsuyoRific]

Hi, so I was wondering if this can be used with the 3DS Emulator? And if so, how do I go about setting that up?
