The Lockpick application gives me an error despite being the most current. I also started hekate and the lockpick_rcm peyload and dumped emmummc ...

What am I doing wrong?

ok i think drumming the sysnam with lockpick_RCM. It has already let me extract the files with the XXXXX version instead of previously doing it without said option ... I hope that will solve it.

if that didnt work , inject the hekake payload and dump the aforementioned keys again

si eso no funcionó, inyecte la carga útil de hekake y vuelque las claves antes mencionadas nuevamente 

Solucionado.

I have not. I ended up factory resetting my switch with Hakku33 and reinstalling cfw with Atmosphere instead of SX OS and reinstalled backups.

Unfortunately Nintendo released the 1.2.1 version, which PKNX doesn't have a patch for yet. Afaik it only works with 1.2.0 w/ Atmosphere.

There were no romfs changes with the latest patch. Everything works for pkNX

The new pknx works with 1.2.0. However, when i run it through SX OS it crashes. Did you try it on atmosphere?

Really sorry. When I tried using pkNX with 1.2.1 and it didn't work for me, but that's the same with 1.2.0 as I never got it to work until now. Thank you for your response, had you not I probably would have waited for another pkNX patch.

Yes. It took me a day to figure out how to install atmosphere, tinfoil, and get the patches for my fw, but pkNX is finally running on my Shield game.

Which version of atmosphere and tinfoil are you using? My tinfoil wont open and keeps on closing.

Does anyone know if local modified drop rewards hosted raids continues visible to non hacked consoles ater apply 1.2.1 update?

version update non specified

If anyone is interested, I used the same site I use currently for grabbing the latest build of NHSE to work with pkNX which you can get here. Source code for the website is available here.

Hey, I've managed to successfully randomise Trainer battles, Pokemon Learnsets and Wild Encounters in Pokemon Sword. But when I randomise Pokemon personal data, the game is stuck on the launching screen on Yuzu. Is there any way to fix this?

 

[KlikAas]

Hey, I randomized my game and everything but when I go to play it my game crashes? Please help I don't know what I'm doing wrong here

[DustyEye]

sorry but i dont find the latest version of pknx where i can find it?

[zoiwillxx]

Is there any way for us to change MOVES and ITEMS/SHOP data on Sword and Shield? Any plans of adding to PkNX? 

[Brayz]

Hey ! i have an error message when i'm trying to open game files

Thanks in advance !

Are TMs and secondary marts not able to be randomized like field items now?

[palikkamaa]

Edit/update: still works, I successfully updated to Crown Tundra DLC.

 

I'll list here what I did in order to update Sword randomizer from 1.0 to 1.3 so other might have less headance than me. 

0.1: Randomizer works only when booted to Atmosphere.

1. Dump keys after purchasing DLC via lockpick (not sure why or for what but mkay..)

2. Dump updated romfs+exefs ->

 

3. Update pkNX via Visual Studio -> 

 

4.0. If PKnx does have problems with recognizing folder path, check that your exefs has folder "Pok__mon Sword v327680 (0100ABF008968800) (UPD)" , 32,6mb size and romfs has 12gb of "bin" and "system_resource" 

4.1 Randomize away!

5. Put 0100ABF008968000 folder (created by pknx) to atmosphere -> contents folder (titles folder is no longer valid information)

6. QoL hack: Create new profile to Switch, play Sw/Sh to the starter selection and save. For verifying that your randomizer works, you can now load into this save and skip 6min tutorial. I did yesterday tutorial 10 times (60 minutes of pure time waste) while troubleshooting my problems. 

6.1 QoL hack #2: all above but play until the gym and save just before challenging Milo. You can experiment with things like revealing true gigantamax form after disguise ability is broken or does  hunger switch work on other pokemons than morpeko (Spoiler: both won't work.)

Can I use pkNX to edit IoA encounters? If yes, how?

The same way you edit all other encounters...

[Guest]

How? Using regular extracted sword files didn't work, did I miss anything?

I did what I did and ended up with a pokemon sword xci file, I extracted it but pknx didn't show IoA encounters. I also tried updating it (+ adding dlc) using NSCB but when I extracted it I got nothing.

Hey guys,

Spent an ungodly amount of time trying to get pkNX to work for Pokemon Lets Go Eevee. I will create a condensed version of events of what I've done so far:
Downloaded latest pkNX

Dragged xci file onto hactool (should be noted that the xci file only had the base game, and that I updated it to version 1.0.2 with an nsp update file on my switch), and then selected the largest folder for pkNX (contains romfs /exfs)

Got the ecounter.data.e/p files and pasted them in the flatbuffer folder. Then I transfered encounter.data.e file onto the bin2json.bat file

Did all my pokemon editing in the program (lets assume I didn't fuck that up)

Saved everything

Got my new romfs folder that has all the right folders in it (the pathing is correct) (I also didn't copy the original romfs folder but rather the one that pkNX created with the patched files).

I copy that into F:\atmosphere\contents\01001B7003A36000\RomFs (looks identical to the tut I followed)

This is where shit hits the fan and I don't no where the error is:

Tut says to drag the ecounter.data.e.bin file on to json2bin.dat file, this intuitively doesn't make sense (you'd think it would be the ecounter.data.e.json file that you drag onto that). Regardless, I did as the tut said. I then copied the encounter.data.e.bin file into the atmosphere folder F:\atmosphere\contents\01001B7003A36000\RomFs\bin\field\param\encount

Boot up my switch with Hekate 5.3.2, launch emuMMC, try to boot Pokemon Eevee for it to say it's corrupted. I then got the new acid sigpatches which I found on online and now the game boots in hekate but no mods. I installed "simplemodmanager" and installed the mods through there as well but still nothing when I boot up the game. Whenever I re-edit my mod files that are in the patched folder they always show up as modified. I really don't know where I screwed up.



I've watched this tut several times and it's very in-depth, I didn't miss any steps and I've reinstalled Eevee several times with no avail.  Currently have a mix of the latest version of atmosphere with some deepsea files in there as well.



Notes: Game boots with fuse as well(but no mods). I have never used LayeredFS before and I can't find much information on the new version of it. It seems to be an embedded feature of atmosphere of which I have the latest version, but if there are separate files or if it needs to be turned on then that could be my problem but I can't find any info on that. Any help would be appreciated, I've easily spent 10+ hours trying to get this shit to work and I don't want to give up at this point but I have nothing left to try.
