4. Rebuilding the DLC (NA) - SilentHeII/Fire-Emblem-Fates-Festival-of-Bonds-Translation-Project GitHub Wiki
Overview
We are going to need to rebuild our Japanese DLC with our other English DLC. In order to do this, we'll need two more programs and two .rsf files.
What you will need:
- RomFS Builder
- A Hex editor. I use HxD
Before starting the tutorial, you'll need two more files. Copy paste this into notepad and save it as rom.rsf. Make sure you have unchecked "Hide extensions for known file types" in windows:
Now copy paste this into notepad and save it as DLC.rsf:
Put these two .rsf files in your project directory with your makerom.exe.
Rebuilding the Spring Scramble NCCH container
- Open up RomFS Builder.
- Click Open and open the
SpringScramblefolder in your project directory. - Press go and save the file as
SpringScramble.binand place it in your project directory, overwriting the old one. - Now, go to cmd and paste this code:
makerom -f ncch -target t -rsf DLC.rsf -romfs SpringScramble.bin -o 00000063.appYou have now created a new00000063.appthat has overwritten the old one.
Rebuilding the Fall Scramble NCCH container
- Open up RomFS Builder again.
- Click Open and open the
FallScramblefolder in your project directory. - Press go and save the file as
FallScramble.binand place it in your project directory, overwriting the old one. - Paste this code into the cmd:
makerom -f ncch -target t -rsf DLC.rsf -romfs FallScramble.bin -o 0000006c.appYou have now created a new0000006c.appthat has overwritten the old one.
We have now successfully rebuilt the Japanese DLC, but we're not done yet. We need to rebuild the Content Info Archive to include icons and descriptions for our Festival DLCs.
Dumping the Content Info Archive and Icon
- In cmd paste the following code:
ctrtool 0000008d.app --exefs=ContentInfoExefs.bin - Now paste this code:
ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=ContentInfoExefs ContentInfoExefs.binWe now have a folder namedContentInfoExefs. - Go into
ContentInfoExefsand drag theicon.binto the root of your project directory. This file contains the icon and description shown in our system settings. - Go back to cmd and paste this:
ctrtool 0000008d.app --romfs=ContentInfoRomfs.bin - Now paste this:
ctrtool --romfsdir=ContentInfoRomfs ContentInfoRomfs.bin - Drag
31.icnand32.icnintoContentInfoRomfs\icons. These were the icons for the Spring and Fall Scramble from the Japanese versions. - Rename
31.icnto27.icnand32.icnto28.icn. - Now, go back into
ContentInfoRomfsand open upMetaDataContentHeader.binin your favorite hex editor. - At offset 0x08, change
1Ato1C. This tells the game how many icons are in the folder. So we need to change it to1C(28 in hex) to accommodate the two new icons we put into it.

- Save the file and open up
ContentInfoArchive_USA_en.binlocated in the same folder with your hex editor. - Go to offset 0x2A38 and in the text viewer on the side replace
ReservedwithSpring Scramble. The reason we're doing this at this specific offset is that this offset is the slot which we're going to put the Spring Scramble DLC. For more info check out this page. - Now go to offset 0x2AF8 and replace
04with1B. This byte tells the game which icon to load. 1B is 27 in decimal so that's the icon number we're loading. - Go to offset 0x2B00 and in the text viewer on the side replace
ReservedwithFall Scramble. - Now go to offset 0x2BC0 and replace
04with1C.
Here's how your file should look now.

- Save and close the hex editor.
Rebuilding the our Content Info Archive with the Icon
- Open up RomFS Builder.
- Click Open and select the
ContentInfoRomFSfolder. - Click Go and save the file as
ContentInfoRomFS.binand save to the project directory, replacing the old one. - In cmd, paste the following code:
makerom -f ncch -target t -rsf DLC.rsf -icon icon.bin -romfs ContentInfoRomfs.bin -o 0000008d.appThis will rebuild the NCCH container with theicon.bin.
Rebuilding the DLC as .CIA
We're finally at the end boys. You ready for this crazy hard final step?

Now just put the ScrambleTranslated.cia on your SD Card and install with FBI. I recommend saving all project files for easy updating. From now on you only need to drag and drop new files into Spring/Fall Scramble folders and generate new RomFS and use my scripts from there.
