PKSM 5.0.0

What's new?

• Added: USUM support. Editor, extra storage and wondercard injection are fully supported.
• Added: QR code scanning. You can now directly scan PKHeX and MysteryGiftBot's QR Codes to inject pkmn files or wondercards.
  • Said QR codes are really really big so it will take a while to become good at scanning them. Make sure you have firm hands and fully follow the guidelines precisely.
• Fixed: Huge rewriting. Did a huge refactoring work and the application is now more fluid and consumes less memory.
• Fixed: Brand new configuration menu, with more options to personalize your user experience.
• Removed: Autoupdater has been removed, update with FBI.
• Removed: Game launch feature. Couldn't reproduce some bugs you reported me so I decided the laziest way to sort out things.
  • Joking, I didn't like the feature anymore.
• Changed: now the working path is /3ds/PKSM and not 3ds/data/PKSM.
• Bug introduced: Storage resizing doesn't work anymore and I did comment the feature until I understand why it broke.
• Fixed: tons of other stuff.

Since the working path changed, you need to manually move your bank.bin file to the new location. Keep this in mind before reporting your whole storage is gone.

New QR code feature showcase

In my opinion, this changelog doesn't pay respect to the amount of work that this update required. I'll just attach the new readme file I did, so it can showcase all the features to old and new users. Have fun!

---

Multipurpose and portable save manager for generations IV-VII, programmed in C.

• Supports original cartridges and digital copies of games from DPPT to USUM
• Allows on-the-fly modifications to all of your data
• Allows internal and resizable offline storage to store your pkmns
• Interfaces with multiple ad-hoc programs running on your computer, web browser or smartphone
• Capable of scanning QR codes to inject both pkmn files or event wondercards
• Contains an offline wondercard database to get events from old distributions

I do not support or condone cheating at the expense of others. Do not use significantly edited pkmn in battle or in trades with those who are unaware edited pkmn are in use.

Installation

This software works on cfw and *hax/rosalina-based Homebrew Launchers. An internet connection may be required at the first launch.

Entrypoint	Instructions
cfw	Install the PKSM.cia file provided in the release page with your favourite installer. You can now launch the application from the home menu
rosalina hbl	Move PKSM.3dsx from the rosalina folder in the PKSM.zip file. You can now launch PKSM from a rosalina-based homebrew launcher
*hax hbl	Move PKSM.3dsx and PKSM.xml from the standard folder in the PKSM.zip file. You can now launch PKSM from a *hax-based homebrew launcher

If you get a failed to receive a status code error, you may want to connect your console to the internet. This is needed to download the additional assets required for the application to launch.

You need internet access to download the additional assets. If you can't still download them through the application, put them manually in the SD card, extracting the external additionalassets folder in your SD card, located at /3ds/PKSM/. The final result should be a folder filled with assets, located at /3ds/PKSM/additionalassets/.

DS cartridges

To let PKSM load your DS save correctly:

• If using rosalina, you need to inject the homebrew launcher in a title that has DS saves access.
• If using *hax, you need to select a target title that has DS save access when selecting PKSM from the homebrew launcher.

A title satisfying those specifics is, for example, Pokétransporter.

Troubleshooting

Before submitting an issue, look for it into the issues page, because it could have been already answered in the past.

Please only do consistent issues (submitting your environment and which version of PKSM you're running), without asking for the moon: I'm working for free here. Duplicate issues will be closed without any reply.

I'll not reply to issues related to versions of PKSM different from the latest stable release currently available.
