How to build project for a non-default filepath? #14

Closed superrpotion closed 1 year ago

superrpotion commented 1 year ago

Hello, I have my NDS saves stored in /roms/1. nds/1. Physical/saves/Pkmn_BLK-Loose.sav, not /roms/nds/saves/black.sav.

Is there a step-by-step guide on how to build a .ips file for Luma with a custom filepath? I’m not seeing a build guide in readme, just the commands I’m supposed to modify. I have access to both a Windows or a Mac PC, but I don’t have Python installed on either one. Thanks in advance.

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Dump the .code file of your game using GodMode9 (launch GodMode9, mount your game, open the exefs directory, and .code should be there)
  3. Copy the .code file to the cloned repository directory on your computer as code.bin
  4. Download armips
  5. Run the command from the readme using your save file to produce code_patched.bin
  6. Optionally download flips and run flips -c code.bin code_patched.bin code.ips

Step 6 is optional since Luma can use a patched code.bin file (just make sure to rename it from code_patched.bin to code.bin when copying to your 3ds). Flips doesn't have pre-built releases, so you'd have to compile it yourself.
