It was every single 'hacker dude' saying update to 3.0.0, save for one. Even still today. They want end users in a nice neat tiny little box where they couldn't get all unethical-like. It's a bait and Switch. The problem is that if nobody is working towards an emuNAND type solution outside of 1.0.0, which you would figure a top priority, (although probably not even a choice right now) eventually everyone who's updated won't really even have a Switch anymore; just an expensive, stunted homebrew platform that few will want to write anything for, and shouldn't actually be used as a portable as it's ridden with crippling battery bugs.
It is early on but the fact is the Switch scene is already a disaster and will be for a long time because Nintendo eventually got it together and now have a very secure console on shelves. If you haven't already, you will need to buy another.

:shit:

Happy f'n new year. :P

Also just to mention again for those looking. I got a 3rd console on 3.0.0 from Scan Computers the other day, was the Neon Console that came with it. Wasn't expecting it and wasn't bothered as it was a gift but the receiver is VERY happy :)

I'm staying where i am.
4.1.

But I'm happy for all you that had the patience to wait for boring, worthless homebrew.

Have fun with Pong and DOOM, [emoji23]

At least we can play a version of Doom that runs at more than 20 to 30 fps.

I can wait. Updating is always an option. Downgrading is not.

He said the 26th dec. They use couriers like DPD so it would mostly likely be next day delivery.

I didn't notice the reply somehow. So now I am waiting on two switches and a Pokemon Tournament DX. The splatoon 2 will probably just get returned unopened, if the basic one turns up on a low enough firmware.

If it's on a low enough firmware, I could buy it off you.

If I don't need it then I'm not opening it because game will only take returns in store if it's been unopened.

If it's opened then I need to return it by post and even then they say it must be "unused", so at the least I pay postage but at worst they say it's used by turning it on to check the firmware. I'm only willing to take the risk if the scan one turns up >3.0 So if you can find out without opening it then you can have it for what I paid (£319.99) plus tracked + insured postage.

I ordered a grey one from scan, because I prefer it to the neon. I kinda hope that scan don't have a warehouse of old neons but new stock of greys... Fingers crossed.

Where do you live?

I live in the US, but I'm not sure if it'd work given how far away you live, shipping, whether or not I could trade to mitigate costs *sigh* IDK. People have been giving exploitable consoles a 300 to 500% markup on price, so maybe I'd best not.

Ah, a bit far. I'm in the UK. I've not seen any evidence that people are willing to pay more for an exploitable console yet. I obviously don't want to make a loss, but I'm ok selling it so that it covers my costs. If I put it on ebay I'd have to increase the price to cover the ebay fees, which is why I was just going to return it if I didn't need it.

Obviously if in the next few days there is a buying frenzy on ebay of 3x to 5x the price then I would reconsider.

    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 @ 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 @ 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?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
