EDIT: CANNOT CHANGE NAME OF THREAD BUT I MEANT DESIGNER!! ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE, MY APOLOGIES.
I've used every damn CIA I can find of this game but all of them crash upon bootup. It's occasionally different error codes, too.
I googled this and found a thread from 2016 saying to open the E-Shop and download it there, but it's kinda sorta 2024 and the E-Shop is gone as hell.
Already tried hShop and both regions of the game. Tried the game both with and without the update installed. Nothing worked.
Do I seriously have to buy a physical copy of the game just to get it working?
Using a 3DS NEW XL with Luma3DS. Australian/European model.
Here's a pic of the most recent error code, just in case it helps.
Please help me, I just wanna play the funny animal house game...

eshop is gone in sense of ya cant buy anything new. It is still there for redownloading things you have already purchased. Just remember to fully backup the save before reinstalling as it will wipe the save if its one you care for

Ah... I realize now that the e-shop method was only for people who have downloaded the game previously... I used a cartridge when I first played the game back in 2015. I suppose I will have to buy a new cartridge, then. Time to save up some cash.
Thanks for the help anyway.

Nevermind. My English comprehension still sucks, turns out downloading it directly from hShop onto my 3DS was the solution. Nintendo added an extra antipiracy measure to some games to stop you from downloading CIAs.
Something about viewing the game page on official eShop or something.

  • 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
