Eldin’s Eccentric Elongations

The simple and easy way to installing our patch.

Now, you’re probably wonder… “wowie-zowie, this is so much to take in!111!!!one”. There’s nothing to fear, kids. We have the solution for you. Just follow these super-duper easy-to-follow steps and you’ll be on your way!

Things you’ll need;

• Ninjhax, Menuhax, Browserhax, or some other type of Homebrew access point.
  • http://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/
  • This is a link to Ninjhax for your convenience, as that’s the only thing that works on the latest firmware.
• Homebrew Launcher kit.
  • http://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip
  • Click this link to download the selected file.
• Braindump.
  • https://github.com/neobrain/braindump
  • Right here, you’ll need this in order to get your romfs file to patch/modify.
• Romfs Extractor/Encrypter.
  • There’ll be a direct link to these in the description.

First and foremost, you’ll want to drag the contents of the Homebrew Launcher kit to the root of your (micro) SD card. Make sure you have two folders labelled “hans” and “3ds”. Yuppers, you guessed it, they have to be lowercased.

Once you have all of the necessary files placed at the root of your SD card, you may proceed to set up the Homebrew access point of your choice. As of present, you may use Cubic Ninja or OoThax on latest firmware. At least Ocarina of Time got re-released as a Nintendo Classic and is available at various retailers for 19.99 USD, right? H-Haha, anyways, you should be able to find the necessary steps to set-up those entrypoints at the website you got your Homebrew Launcher kit. Don’t forget to place the Braindump files into the 3ds folder, those are very important and necessary for this operation.

After you’ve done that, you’ll want to make...

This is Thedude28’s (kinda) extensive guide to patching Fire Emblem Fates/If v2. My extensive guide will show you how to patch the game. It is mainly for CFW users. Prepare yourself, because this guide assumes that you don’t have an idea on what you need to do.

You will need:

• A 3DS that you’re willing to hack/get homebrew for
• Homebrew
• Shadowtrance’s Decrypt9 (for homebrew)
• Gateway Launcher (for homebrew)
• Python 2.7 (the latest version, not 2.7.0)
• (Recommended but not required) An SD card with a size of 8gb or larger
• Retail version of the game (doesn’t matter which version)

Part 1: Checking your 3DS firmware and getting Homebrew

This can be done by going to system settings and checking your firmware version. If you don’t want to read and use a flowchart instead, here’s a link to it: http://imgh.us/3DSHex.svg.

If your 3DS is on the latest firmware (10.7.0) as of the time of writing (3/27/2016)

You can temporarily patch the game via HANS, or you can downgrade to 9.2 and get CFW to apply a permanent patch. You can access all online functions within the game, and you can get DLC if your 3DS is the same region as the game’s region. Your options for homebrew are limited to:

• Ninjhax
• OoTHax (with or without a powersave)
• SmashHax (only on N3DS)

If your 3DS is on firmware less than 10.7.0

You can temporarily patch the game via HANS, or you can downgrade to 9.2 and get CFW to apply a permanent patch. If you choose to patch the game via HANS, you may not be able to access the eShop to get DLC because you are not on the latest firmware.

If you are on firmware 10.6.0, your options for homebrew are:
