    Hardware Any guides out there on how to file down the replacement joycon housing?

    I wanted a D-Pad on my console, as well as wanting to solder the right joycon for RCM, so bought a pair of the clear joycon replacements from Aliexpress. However, despite it seemingly being a pretty common issue, I couldn't find any sort of guide out there on how to cut or file them to reduce...

    Hacking Need to remove CFW from a console I bought, but am

    So I bought a cheap 3DS XL as I needed the NTSC motherboard from it. The seller didn't say it was running CFW, but said "the console will play UK games when the SD card is inserted" so I assumed as much, but figured removing the CFW would be pretty straightforward, having done it before...

    Hardware 3DS XL not powering on

    I've searched through the forums, but haven't found an answer for the issue I'm having. The console will not turn on and the power LED will not turn on at any point, even for a few seconds. Connecting it to the charger with the battery inserted turns on the charge LED and connecting it without...

    Hardware New 2DS XL Motherboard Pictures

    I imported a 2DS XL from New Zealand and of course the first thing I did was to take it apart, take some pics and offer a few of my thoughts on the console. Pros: - Fewest screws in any 3DS I've seen - total of 13 screws to remove the motherboard - A single motherboard, with almost everything...

    Hacking Downgraded using Decrypt9 and can't boot DS games. Any way to fix it?

    So, I didn't backup my original NAND (or I did, but everything initially seemed fine so I deleted it at some point) and downgraded my console by booting Decrypt9 from Soundhax and running 9.2.0 ctrtransfer. Everything appeared to work, but it won't boot DS games. I've repeated this on another...

    Hardware USB-C connector on N3DS XL? Idea for hardmod/capture card installation

    So, this is in the really early stages of development, but I thought I'd post it anyway just to get people's opinions for now, as well as get some advice on stuff I'm not sure about yet. I've been doing a bunch of old 3DS XL capture card installations lately and have been working on making my...

    Hardware Anyone know of alternate solder point for N3DS XL touchscreen connector?

    I picked up a New 3DS XL cheap recently with a "faulty touch screen", thinking it would be an easy fix, but it appears the issue isn't with the touch panel itself, but the connector on the motherboard is missing and one of the contacts has been completely stripped. I've tried removing the solder...

    Hardware Is there a way to region mod, but keep the 3DS stock?

    I was wondering if there's any way to region mod the 3DS but keep it as stock? I know I can region mod it after installing A9HL, which doesn't really make a difference at that stage, but I have a Japanese 3DS XL that I just want to change to PAL without any custom firmware or further modification.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with 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.
