My 6.72 recently got the dreaded cbomb YAY!!
I know there is temporary workarounds like todex & 2.1.3b... GoldHen also includes a fix.
After testing many versions Goldhen fix doesn't work on 6.72 which is a shame and odd.

My questions
1. Mostly use Phive but some newer games need Goldhen. If i use GH 2.3b2 then add just 2.1.3b for cmos fix (it works) could this cause issues like performance, KP, corrupt saves etc?
2. 9.0 ofw fixes cbomb does this also fix keeping correct time after replacing dead cmos battery? and fix trophy information?
My hesitation upgrading to 9.0 is having only 5 kp on 2.1.3b and 0 on GH 2.3b2 from 120+ attempts, needing to use USB and Kiiwii hinting there is something coming to fw lower than 7.50.

Guess there's good reason reactPSPLUS never got a PROPER update above 5.05 or something like a unofficial server or alike (homebrew store) lol to sync the clock. Wonder what was added to 9.0 to fix cbomb could be used in some way with duct tape on lower fw's

It won't fix the clock. You have to sign in and sync to do so. I'd just use goldhen. Devs say you should only stay on lower if on 5.05, so I'd update to 9.00.

The rumour was/is something is coming for <8.00 however at the eye 9.00 is going it may well come for 9.00 too. It’s the waiting game. I’m sticking to 5.05/6.72 rn.

So thats what happened to my CUH-1004A fw 9.00 when i replaced the battery while i was at it replacing the thermalpaste.
When i set the date/time manually it resets after every reboot. I was starting to think i broke something but to fix it i need to let it connect to PSN and thats not gonna happen anytime soon.

9.00 is very stable with the latest hosts like karo (avoid kernel panic with error messages), but there are problems with timestamps (blank), the only solution is with goldhen (temporarily), in 5.05 it worked fine but kernel panics (they can't be avoided) and timestamps work fine,

  • 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.
