Another technology related piece, but this time, it is gaming related!
Recently, I bought a RetroGame RS-97 for 50 bucks, usually those Chinese handhelds are pure trash *cough* BittBoy *cough*, but this one got a small community going and improving it, and it was really cheap! I couldn't refuse...
Yay for writing some more to avoid thinking about IRL stuff!
So after using it for three months now (leading to almost half a year with Fedora), I am still quite pleased, I managed to fix the previous mentioned issue with xfce4-power-manager after googling like crazy after my bug report went...
Hello everyone! This is Mat here, writing another technology related blog as a way to vent out and complain a bit. As Fedora 25 is reaching EoL, I thought it would be nice to write about Fedora 27.
I've been running Fedora 27 since its official release date (two weeks tomorrow), the upgrade...
I want to write this little piece since this was the dumbest thing that could have happened to my phone.
Yesterday, during the afternoon, my phone got caught in a bootloop. Apparently the data partition corrupted itself and I couldn't wipe it through TWRP. I thought "Okay, that's fine, but...

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
