nogc prevents the game card reader from being updated when updating from a firmware < 4.0. If that happens, then you won't be to use your game card with a firmware lower than 4.0 (if/when you ever go back to your original FW).

looks like the newest tinfoil can now install dlc

i found devm as an nsp, but a few of the reinx people suggested not to use the nsp version.

no need for devmenu if tinfoil can do it now though.

Sorry for this noob question but how exactly do I run Homebrew? I placed the homebrew.nro file on the root of my sd card and launched the album while holding R but it just brings me to the regular album :/

I tried converting a custom splash image (bmp,RGBA) into a binary file, but the image has the wrong color when I boot ReiNX. Normally I'd use the website I used for Luma for the 3DS, but it doesn't seem to generate any images at the moment :(.

What tools do you guys/girls use to convert a png/bmp to a correct splash.bin file for ReiNX?

Thanks in advance for the help.

use this to convert the image to bin works a treat, there is also a python script floating around.

Thats the dreaded nogc patch.. remove the nogc file and you can use your carts and not have to worry about lag..

On the topic of the nogc file, I noticed the delay coming out of sleep mode from the @Darth Meteos 2.3 stash; but I never saw that particular file in the 'reinx' folder (or anywhere for that matter). Any ideas what could be causing the delay?

I DO see the file in the newly updated 3.0.1 though, which I haven't installed yet.

Rather not stir up any more drama than there is already, but I think it'd be fair to everyone to credit SciresM and naehrwert in here for Atmosphere and Hekate/hwinit respectively.
With that said, it's a nice change of pace to see a simplified CFW solution. Not that it matters from a complete rando like me, but you guys have my thanks for your hard work!

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
