I suck right now, because I don't know how to go into BIOS settings and I don't know what BIOS mean. ;_; Can anyone do a "mini"-tutorial?

When the computer starts you see that white text on a black page, with all the hardware and stuff (before the windows loading screen).
In the first screen (you have text with hd, cd drive ecc or an image of your motherboard) you have to press del or f1 (or other keys, depends on the motherboard) to enter the bios settings.
Usually it's written on the bottom of the first screen which key to press to enter bios settings (like "Press xx for settings).
Be careful to don't touch anything in BIOS settings if you don't know what you're doing (or at least don't save when you exit).
@slvrdrgn123: it's not always F10, sometimes it's DEL or F1 or other keys.

The temperature while in the BIOS isn't all that useful because nothing is running. While it will represent an idle temperature, the temperature under load is usually what people are after.
Personally I've used both speedfan and rivatuner to display the temperature. Rivatuner can graph the temperature over time, so this may be useful depending on what you want.
I don't understand how the site works.. And I only want one freeware.

Dual core plugin for rivatuner (if you need it): http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1545

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:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
