"pk3ds will work best if you keep your Game Files folder free of unnecessary files and folders" #495
Comments
pk3DS expects:
Inside the romfs folder, you have the pk3DS says "keep folders clean" if you have more than 3 folders within the folder you are trying to open; telling you to not keep non-game files inside your game dump files. |
This is the folder structure, next to the error received when trying to access it. file:///home/cfalcon/Pictures/Screenshot%20from%202021-08-15%2023-20-29.png |
Looks like Github doesn't want to post files today. My folder structure is as you describe - PkmnY/ contains only romfs/ and exefs/. When I point pk3ds to PkmnY/, it tells me that it can't find a/ on the root directory. When I move a/ from romfs/ to PkmnY/, it gives me the exact same error message. |
Your folder structure looks identical to mine, except that exe and rom are named exefs and romfs and I don't have a .crr folder. I tried renaming exefs and romfs to exe and rom, but I got the same error. Here is my folder structure (PkmnY $ tree -a .):

I want to get started with a mod of Y, but nothing I do can get PK3DS to open a ROM. I dumped my American copy of Y using a Japanese 2DS XL by following this tutorial (https://projectpokemon.org/home/tutorials/gameplay_150/3ds-pokemon-games-hacking-tutorials/extracting-files-for-pk3ds-using-godmode9-r110/) and PK3DS isn't reading it. If I point PK3DS to the directory containing both exefs and romfs, it says that the root folder needs to contain an 'a' folder in the top level. So I point it to romfs, and it says that I need to keep my Game Files free of unnecessary folders. So I try pointing it at the 'a' folder itself, which gives me no error message but keeps all the buttons greyed out.
I also tried using PK3DS to extract a .3ds file I dumped using GodMode9, and it appears to extract it for awhile before complaining about a bad IVFC header right at the end. I'll submit a bug report about this soon.
I was using the Aug 8 build of PK3DS. I've confirmed this issue on Windows 7 using dotNET 4.6.2 and on Linux Mint 20.1 with both WINE (5.10) and directly through Mono.
