You know damn well what the implications of saying SXOS is hacked are. It's the title of this thread and you have been openly contributing towards the progress. You broke the rules and now you're bitching about it while trying to hide behind technicalities and claiming it was a shit server. That may be the case but that doesn't change the fact that you blatantly broke the rules and now you're trying to play victim.
He didn't break the rules, he broke SXOS (helped).

So how do u want me to prove it cause I think I still have all 4 emails somewhere in my emails
I don't know, I guess show me receipts or footage of it booting an unmodified SXOS boot.dat and I'll forward it to the mods. Again though, I can't promise anything, I'll just try to help.

There is a rule in no uncertain terms that piracy of any sort is not allowed. It is undeniable that he was referring to the crack, so yes, he did break the rules. The fact that he has been active but did not reply to my post speak volumes. He knows exactly what he did.

I never replied to your post, because I couldn't be bothered. I already told you I didn't care about that server as it was kind of rubbish so it wasn't an issue getting banned from it. That's the end of it s far as I am concerned - no matter what you think.

Ah I see. My apologies. It's just that when you claim that they will ban you for anything, despite the fact that you were CLEARLY banned for breaking the NUMBER ONE RULE, it makes these people look who give up their free time to help people look bad. Hey though, if you think it's a rubbish server by all means carry on with your slanderous bullshit. That justifies being a dickhead to volunteers.

Apology accepted.

No spoof.
started with official boot.dat, run cfw until license-request.dat is generated, turn off the switch, get request.dat and put it with boot.dat and script, run the script, put boot .dat and license.dat on the SD.

So you managed to make a keygenerator? :3

Yes it works great - also SX Save manager etc works properly with it as the license produced is recognised as legit. I've tested - still boot.dat will be patched after the licence.dat is made, so reboot still shows the boot error screen - but apart from that everything functions like a legit SXOS license.

1:Use unmodded SXOS 1.3 boot.dat on the switch and create a license-request.dat.
2:Copy license-request.dat to the computer into the same folder as the generator script
3:Run generator script - and license.dat will be created.
4:Now put unmodded boot.dat + the created license.dat into the same folder as SX_License_Hack.py
5:Run SX_License_Hack.py - boot.dat will get patched.
6:Copy patched boot.dat and and license.dat to the switch sd card root directory and enjoy the hacked SXOS 1.3

Reacher17 and Bender etc are great - these are the guys that hacked and wrote the scripts.....All the doubters will now be eating their own words.

Great job @Reacher17
It's good to be doubtful, since so many have claimed they can do it. But it's even more great to be proven wrong! It's one of those "I don't mind saying sorry because you're so awesome!" kind of way :D

  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
