I typed CD and got this 

cd <the directory containing your ctrtool>

Open your folder, click the hotbar once, and it should chance to C:\Users\...etc...

Now copy that, and paste is after the cd

 

Also when possible, use the snipping tool or a screenshot. Better than a photo from your phone.

space. you need a space between cd and <directory name>

[Jmscheuer]

Okay I got it not enough arguments I'm currently in my correct directory

Now, what does it say if you paste this?
 

ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs exefs.bin --decompresscode

 

[Jmscheuer]

This is what is says after I enter that 

[theSLAYER]

@Jmscheuer I'm assuming the previous one gave you not enough arguments.

Try this

ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin

Exefs had unexpected offset?

So I had to extract my own to test it, as of now, try this:

ctrtool -t exefs --decompresscode --exefsdir=exefs exefs.bin

 

Edit, also, it appears extracting the .code.bin from the exefs in GodMode9 would work too.

I got the exact same response exefs section had unexpected offset

I did that as well so I have the .code.bin file as well if you think that would work. I tried entering that in HxD and I couldn't find the hex strand from the tutorial

I dumped for me..


Anyhow, try extracting .code.bin from the exefs in GodMode9, as opposed to copying the exefs.bin
I just tested on Pokemon Moon, ignored all the ctrtool steps.

It didn't copy as a .bin file...

open it in HxD and try finding the pointer

 

edit: also, try moving those commands around based on what you see in the ctrtool response.

Okay I edited the strain to EA now for putting in the Luma folder will it matter that it's not a .bin file?

Okay I put the file into my 3ds in the Luma folder in the title ID etc and it didn't change the games shiny odds. I think it could have to do with being a wrong file type possible? I have patching enabled in the Luma menu

@Jmscheuer follow the instructions as per the last step, and make sure it is named code.bin

Ahh crap I had it deleted it somehow reinstalled itself... It works thank you!!!

No worries. You won't necessarily have to delete the game update, just modify the code.bin from the update instead (I have steps for that too)

Hey I'm back. I did the exact process on a gen 6 game extracting the .code file using gm9 and now I cannot find the hex strain using hxd when I search it. Was gen 6 a different set of numbers?

So to make sure I was doing things correctly I pulled my code file from a different gen 7 game and successfully did the edit again however I tried using X, Y(update file), and AS with X and Y unable to find hex strain and AS I found the staring but had no 0A anywhere in sight just like a prior comment on the thread
