Thanks a lot :3

Why don't you just update? All the patches were updated for 1.1, you can't connect online on 1.0 anymore, and really the update in the end hasn't broken anything in terms of functionality and save/memory editing. Plus when Bank updates, I bet it will only support 1.1.

Is an instant receive egg possible with ips patch? I know it has a hold button on the ntr cheat but so does walk through walls and the ips patch just walks through all walls without any button held.
it's doable, but....

just read previous posts. I said why it not a good idea.

If you have CFW and NTR, just use PKMN-NTR as that has a breeding bot that works really well, for Gen 7 it automatically has the instant egg hack activated, as a means to avoid the messy nature of control pad overriding from the program. You'd be surprised how fast it can take to get a 5-6IV egg from a 4IV legit Ditto and at least a 4IV parent.

So I decided to try it out. It doesn't seem you can use the patches on the Plaza no more.

What do you mean? For one, it's not like there's much to do in the Plaza when it comes to these patches. Clearly though no outlines work, the NFC disable patch works, those are the ones you can test in Plaza, some others, it doesn't matter because you're not battling wild pokemon nor catching them, or breeding. I'm sure the SaltySD patch works, I just haven't bothered replacing the Plaza's music.

The patches I mainly use are "Guaranteed Catch", "Shiny", "EXP", "Instant Message", "PC Anywhere", "QR", "Walking Speed", "Walk Through Walls".

Were the same ones I were using as well for 1.0 so I'm not sure which of these might be the problem. The Walking Speed and Walk Through Walls used to help a lot in there. Instant Message as well for how long some of the messages take for some of the characters in the Plaza and their long pauses.

I have Instant Message as well, that's definitely not the problem. I don't use walking speed and walk through walls, to be fair that is a small area to me, such patches aren't necessary over there. Generally too I used said patches for the story, don't find it necessary post game.

I decided to just check the QR code as it might be that one as I really don't really Island Scan anymore as I really don't need to.
Seems like I can get into the Plaza now just fine with everything except it. No real biggie I guess.

Do you mean the SciresM patch? I have that as well and it didn't cause any issues with Plaza.

That's weird. Was the only one I removed in the patch. I guess I can try again with it installed and see if it's working somehow. Probably I had the 1.0 patch by accident somehow.

has anyone figured out how to combine IPS patches? since luma3ds can use .ips directly instead of modified code.bin, it would be much easier to use (select cheats, have .IPS spit out)

I have trouble getting my code.bin with godmode 9, I mount the .app and I see an exefs.bin but I can't "open" that to find the code.bin??? and trying to copy it to my SD fails.

copy&paste all bytes between "patch" and "eof"

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
