Hello all, I am trying to randomize Pokemon X, which is first time I have ever randomized a 3DS game. I've been having a lot of problems. So, what I have been following are the instructions in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-pnqSsJBv0&t=649s but so far I cannot get my game to load on the 3DS. I am thinking it is either a bad rom dump, or I am doing something wrong. In this video he discusses that certain files have to be moved in exe/ folder and to romfs/. In USUM he is using this file is Shop.cro, but he has a list that is supposedly for X/Y which is Dllbattle.cro, Dllfield.cro, and Dllpoke3select.cro. I assume these are what I need to move into romfs/. Then in romfs/a I used the GARCs list to fill in the value as he shown.
Now here comes the problems. Initially I tried to move the folder onto my SDcard as shown. AS mentioned before, this does not work, game does not show on my 3DS. I have tried other variations of this, moving ROM/, moving the titleID/, etc, same result. Thinking my dump was bad I tried again. This time I actually ended up trying to edit the exefs options on ps3DS, namely, shiny rate. I got an error code on this which I can provide if needed. This is where I notice my code.bin file turning back into .code.bin which I think is the issue. Fixing it without the '.' does not work, and if I reload the files, it goes back to .code.bin. I don't get why this happens.
So.... on another reddit I saw someone say to use poketools.exe. Problem is, I can't even do the first step required, which is inputting the backup folder. I have no PK3DS/ let alone PK3DS/backup as it says I need. There is no way in the program to assign where any sort of backup would even go. I have a backup/ folder that appears in same place that pk3DS. exe is in the Step 3- randomization/ folder as the pack uses in the video, but poketools.exe gives an error about this folder cause it expects a pk3DS folder/backup.
Sigh. Is there a better/easier way to do this?
