I was planning to buy EZFA ($120, wasn't cheap back then since I couldn't even drive) and stumbled on the site looking for guides. I regret the purchase but not finding this site.

went away after I lost interest in DS, came back for 3DS and PC games.

If I remember right I wound up here via Google search quite a few times in 2008/09. I registered in '10 for reasons I don't know about because I never posted, I only recently started becoming an active member. But I never want to leave here.

Back when I had first gotten a CycloDS, I had no idea what I was doing with it. I had been asking questions and getting info on the official Team Cyclops forums, and it was working out alright, but it wasn't sufficient for asking about other flashcarts and whether or not I made the right purchase. Plus the community tended to be populated with elitist assholes.
While Googling my question, it's no surprise that I came to GBAtemp on the first page. I got my answers and much more, along with a handy selection of cheat files for certain game fixes, so I decided to bookmark the site.

I had been lurking for a while before joining, but I finally made an account when HeartGold and SoulSilver were released. I created the account to ask about the games, and the various translations already created (making my first post in Raqib12's translation thread). Been a happy and frequently active member ever since.

Yes, I am one of the dreaded PokeNoobs.

So many newbies here, see I wanted to come up with something other than "browsing the net for ds homebrew" which is the truth.

So my make believe story is I was browsing round the net for some hardcore porn as you do, suddenly the alarm went off and a pidgin flew into my windows it was in this moment of horny disbelief that i suddenly felt hungry so made myself a sandwich. When I finished my sandwich i went to play on my r4 but it was broke so searched for some more porn but I accidentally typed in the wrong web address and came here (no pun intended)

Was on a very long gone NDS roms site and I was a regular shoutboxer, then I asked something and Luke_c directed me here, after a few months of lurking, using the guides ect I finally made an account and now I'm the most important temper on this site ............ I joke

I was googling for ROM sites and I ended up here because of the database. Took me some time to realize it wasn't, but after I found that out I was like: "Huh, looks like this site has useful stuff, even though it has no ROMs." Lurked for a long time after that (I don't even remember how long) until I finally made an account.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ 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 @ 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
