I found my old modded 2ds with omega a graphing caculator for 3ds then I thought off "what if I make a 2ds shell that looks like ti 84 plus graphing caculator that only uses only the omega caculator app and instead of nintendo branding I can brand it as a fake ti cacular the name I came up with is ti 84 plus dual screen and I will tell people its a prototype I found behind texas intrusments headquarters and the final thing I will need to do is make the omega app's top screen display wider and edit the colors and features and other things to make it more like the display of a ti 84 plus ce caculator and maybe I can make a button combination that takes me off the caculator app to the homescreen to play games when i dont need to caculator but only that combination will let me play games when powered off then on it will go back to the caculator and next I can make a secret door to open and put the 3ds cartidges in becuase if the cartidge is visble people will get suspisous and make change the 3ds charging port to a type b mini usb cord which all ti 84 caculators and haveing 3ds charging port wouldnt make anysense

Luma3DS can autoboot into the Homebrew channel and DSi homebrew. Start the system holding “select” and start the option is like 4th from the top.
I don’t know about being able to boot into a specific app beyond those options

You do have that button combo that instantly launches whatever is in the cartridge slot. If you could put your calculator program onto a flashcart and load it, that might work.

That only works for non setup 3DSes/factory reset 3DSes, so wouldn't work. Maybe you could change the title ID of a CIA of omega calculator to the Homebrew Launcher so Luma boots into that

yes, it is possible. you would need to make a custom firmware that sets the FIRM launch parameters to the titleid of the program you want to launch.

But your whole story of how you'll modify it to let you play games in class is just ridiculous. There are too many flaws in it to even go through. What you want to do just won't work. Period.

the thing is I wont be playing games in class I will only be using the omega app and everytime I turn it on it will go straight to the omega app and only when I am at home I will do a button combination to let me play games and go to the home menu its like giveing a dreamcast a sd card youll use sd card more but you can still use the disc tray to games to but not as much as the sd card slot you get what im saying also I kinda wanna fool some of my freinds that I found a prototype caculator in a dumpster behind the texas instrustments headquarters called the TI-84 Plus Dual Screen it would be funny

whatever you plan to do is still ridiculous. And your friends won't believe you.

    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.
