After over a month of trial and error as well as countless hours of testing and talking to fellow members I stumbled upon a way to update from 8.1 to 9.0 a few nights ago. Now my original method is still being developed (the one with a donor 3ds unit) this method requires no donor.

You will need:

8.1J n3ds
Cubic Ninja JPN
Willing to buy a paid eshop game from the JPN shop (approx $5 or less US)

If anyone wants to test PM me, I am not ready to publically release it before I have a few more tests done

Big thanks to @d0k3 @laramie @Shadowtrance for putting up with me and helping out

This is true. Instead of waiting around for someone else to do it, why not take the first step.

GL, I don't have a JP console w/ a backup of nand so can't assist.

Two questions:
- What are the benefits of being on 9.0J as opposed to 9.2J?
- How does one purchase an eShop game without updating from 8.1J?

I wish I could help, but I don't have a JP copy of Cubic Ninja: I do have a hardmodded 8.1J and am willing to buy an eShop game, though.

Easy way:
Ninjhax1.1b > Pasta CFW > Update using 3DNUS+sysUpdater

Why you need a eShop game?
I have no idea if you're serious or not... But if you take the extra 12 seconds to actually read, you'd know that you can't run homebrew on 8.1. Cfw is also out of the question until Rei, mid-kid or myself make a mset for 8.1 and then people with cfw's port it over. Rei is in the dark as far as I know, mid-kid is waiting for Rei and I since he doesn't have a n3ds. And I just need to tweak a few more things and I'll have mset of course it'll be in my cfw when everything is released.

I had it working from a script I saw in the multi-patcher thread I think. I am not home right now but should be in a few hours to see what's up. I was worried this might happen since all my consoles had been updated from 8.1 to 9.2 previously and then downgraded back to 8.1 to test

If anyone has GW you could try making a legit cia of the game on emunand and then installing it to system nand; the idea is ultimately the same

To make a legit cia you need to create emunand and update to say 9.5. Use multi patcher to boot eshop and buy the game. Once purchase use d9 to extract the seed and download from Nintendo server. Since its a legit cia you can then install with gw to system nand and boot.

Another alternative is install the 9.x browser to gw system nand 8.1 and run the multi patch

    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.

    never had that i don't think
