Hacking Luma 7.0.1 + LumaLocaleSwitcher 0.0.3 region/language problem.

[retrofan_k]

On my Jp n3ds I just updated to 7.01 Luma from 6.6 and the LocaleSwitcher from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3-Nightly

https://github.com/Possum/LumaLocaleSwitcher/releases

I now have a issue with the LumaLocalSwitcher not saving the "Region and Language" options, as when refreshing the screen or exiting and re enabling the app, the settings always revert to "System Default"

My folder location is on my SD card is Luma/Locales, which the app shows /luma/locales/%s.txt when choosing a location.

The application does appear to save the txt files to this directory i.e 000400000018A400.txt and has the region and language settings I provided. However, as stated before, they revert to default and because of this, some out of region games will not boot on a Japanese system and totally rely on this application.

Going back to Luma 6.6 and 0.0.2 of the Localeswitcher, this does not occur and works fine.

The github page does say the latest version has bugs, so wondering if this is one??

Anyone else with a Japanese console that uses this application that has recently updated to Luma 7.01?

EDIT: Issue is now resolved. Latest Luma, as of writing (7.01) has changed it's path for the "TitleID" for each specific title, which is /luma/titles/<titleID>/locale.txt. It used to be /luma/locales/<titleID>.txt

For pointing this out to me

LumaLocaleSwitcher does not give you this option in it's settings to change it to /luma/titles/<titleID>/locale.txt, so at present, until the developer fixes it, the user must manual edit the locales.conf and enter:

/luma/titles/%s/locale.txt.

When choosing region and language settings, a separate folder is created using the title ID as it's name with a "locale.txt" file inside with the users settings.

There is a minor display bug still with the application, as it does not show the changed settings (still shows system default) on the list of titles, yet everything still works as before.

What game are you trying to do? How do you set up a txt file for a game to force a language?

On a Japanese N3DS, games like Zelda Majora's mask (USA) needs US/EN set, otherwise it will crash out to the main menu. With LumaLocaleSwitcher you don't have to make a txt file yourself, as the program does it for you after you choose your settings (you make the "locales" folder and tell the app were to save to). As I said in my 1st post, non of these settings are saved, even though the program creates the txt file and saves it in the "luma/locales/ folder.

The path was changed and the wiki is outdated.

Think it's Enable game patching as Sun/Moon w/o outlines work

As for the issue. If you Select Region US and Language EN as I did for Smash Bros 3DS JPN. Open the app, launch it and should work as is.

Thanks pal, that fixed it

You can use this fork. https://github.com/ericjwg/LumaLocaleSwitcher/releases It sets the correct path. There's no migration option so you'll have to move the files over and rename them or recreate them.
The path changed last November (in nightly). It got incorporated into stable with recent release of 7.0.

Okay thanks. I never used nightlies, as I stuck with official 6.6 until yesterday.

I used nightly since it got ips patching which you can use for ROM hacks and translations when the change happened. Makes it much easier to load things.

Make sure game patching is enabled and that the game actually supports multiple languages based on system settings.

Are you on Luma3DS 7.0.1?

 

[Kanakops]

Are you on Luma3DS 7.0.1?

yes

 

[pixelmasher]

yes

It looks ok. Only thing I can think of is if you have extensions hidden and your file is really named locale.txt.txt.

 

[Kanakops]

Are you on Luma3DS 7.0.1?

ohhh yeah its true I think I have hidden extensions, im going to see if its the problem

... -> YES it work ! Thanks you are my hero

Extensions being hidden by default in Windows is awful, glad you got it working.
