What about if you're trying to switch to Taiwan for example? Using common sense, the wording plus the fact that picking a random region can't be right if you are trying to swap to a particular one, means it really really sounds like you're supposed to pick your current region.

It's not just confusing, it's also wrong.

But that's not a region listed in the section anyway..... And I said, it seems like it's copy pasted from the CTRNAND page so I don't think it's specific to the region change. Where it says" If you're not sure, pick one for your device" I'm pretty sure that wasn't even meant to be in that page because like you said that wouldn't make any sense.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

My common sense tell me, if you're trying to switch regions you wouldn't be choosing the one you're already on. No where in the region changing guide does it ask to perform a CTRNAND transfer twice... So how is it not common sense to know to choose the one you're trying to switch to?

Me too, but we also tell people to follow the guide exactly, and the wording (plus common sense with the Taiwan example) means it has to be telling you to pick the one you already have. Otherwise people would have to assume the guide is wrong and do something different to what it says. In any case hopefully it will be a moot point soon, I made an issue about it.

But Taiwan isn't even on the list of CTRNAND transfers in the Region Change section so I don't get why you're using that as an example. Taiwan is not even an option for a region change, neither is Chinese. Someone needs to supply the CTRNAND images first.

So if your console is TWN and you're trying to switch to USA - Common sense which one to pick.

If your console is USA and you want to switch to TWN - You can't because the image isn't available for region change yet.

Nowhere did it say you can't change to Taiwan. So how would people know they can't? Remember to think from the perspective of someone who doesn't know very much and doesn't have your experience.

Because there is no CTRNAND image listed? I mean they should use their brain a little....

EDIT: You're right, Lol I try to give people too much credit. It should explicitly say "XX regions are not available"

Then there are two pieces of information in conflict, a contradiction. Asking a noob to be able to work out which one is wrong and which one is right (especially when we bang on about not deviating from the instructions) is asking a little much.

I can't run Pokémon Moon, the screen goes black after I start the game. Any help? My 3DS is 11.6.0 and I'm using Luma 8.1.1.

Strange question probably.

I collect event pokemon and i like to keep them in dexnumber orders. However everytime i add a new event i have to move every single box X1 X2 forward which is a bit annoying. Is there a program/tool/anything that makes this less tedious?

Sold my 3DS months ago, want to get a new one. What do i need to hack it? (Mostly for freeshop/free games, CIA, etc)

Do we still need 2 3DS (one hacked) to get homebrew?

Lets asume is the latest update.

Hey, thanks!

Just to clarify, if i hava a 3DS that is 9.0-11.3 i can modify it without other consoles/games etc, just with an SD, right?
Click to expand...
Yep, 9.0-11.3 can use Soundhax, which just requires files on your SD card and the Ninendo 3DS Sound app on your system. This is the preferred method, because you don't have to buy any external hardware such as necessary flashcard.

Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the controls of the Circle Pad with the D-pad? I want to play Metroid Samus Returns with the D-Pad.
Click to expand...
Me too, I only played for a few minutes before giving up with it. Feels totally unnatural playing a 2D side scroller with the circle pad!

You should try getting a system with a higher firmware to avoid having to buy external hardware, another system, or getting a hardmod.

    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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

  • 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
