Hey guys
So I just setup b9s on my 9.2 o3ds, and since I still use gateway (don't judge) I also created emunand specifically for gateway use
Now I'm thinking to update my sysnand to 11.4 and emunand to 11.2, this is safe right?
And how do I update sysnand to 11.4? Simply using system settings will do?

Don't update sysNAND higher than 11.2 - otherwise if you accidentally boot Gateway in sysNAND mode you will lose b9s or brick.

what!?
dammit! good thing I asked first. I thought it would be safe to update to 11.4 since gateway will use emunand anyway
thanks a lot

just curious, can this brick solved by restoring nand? if that's the case, one less thing to worry about
dunno how I missed that
I thought that warning is for using gateway with sysnand

any idea how to update sysnand to 11.2?

Yes, by hardmod or from DSiWare (if set up beforehand or using another CFW console, and if b9s is removed but no brick).

not worth the risk then

thanks, and do you have any idea on how to update only to 11.2?
with emunand I usually download firmware files using 3DNUS, but not sure if it's safe for sysnand

I recommend just updating. It's safe, and the only reason not to would probably be gateway.

I feel like an idiot.
I decided to upgrade from menuhax to Boot9strap. Everything went alright.
However, silly me forgot to remove menuhax in the process, and now i can't enter the hacked sysnand. It shows the Luma splash screen, menuhax appears, and then it takes me to the CTRBootManager menu.
If i hold L, it takes me to the Emunand.
Any help?

Edit: Just had a random idea. What if i leave menuhax acts, in the CTRBootManager i chose Homebrew launcher, and from there i use Tiny format?

    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.
