I was wondering if it was possible to update the emunand to 9.2 or 9.4 without doing the normal update (since its 9.5+). The reason i want to do this is it seems like N3DS will work with gateway (by the way they said it) but not past emunand 9.4

Basically i want to try and see if i can play MH4 off emunand 9.4 (EU seems to be 9.2 to use it?) on a new 3ds.

Is it possible? Will Gateway even work on a N3DS even if its on FW 9.2 or lower? I can't imagine they would be too far updated, so i'm hoping that will work for local LAN MH4 with some friends this weekend....i would really like the extra analog and the bigger screen.

GW doesn't work yet with the N3DS at all.

Supposedly, when support comes, it will be for 9.2 or lower sysnand, which shouldn't be a problem since it seems US units are shipping with 9.0.

The 9.5 emunand not being supported is not really related, nor important, as no game requires FW 9.0 or higher yet. Whatever FW it ships with should be good enough. It also seems the roadblock has already been overcome, regarding this.

To answer your question, unless GW releases support, the answer is no, what you want to do is not currently possible.

Well you obviously know something that the manufacturer of the card doesn't. Give it a try. Just don't call the Gateway Waaaaaambulance.

Do you seriously think all these people would be waiting on pins and needles and spending all this time on these threads if all it took was to load up the launcher on a 9.2 N3DS and pop in the red card?

I really mean no disrespect to you, but this has to be one of the most boneheaded questions I have seen on this forum in a long time.

It's possible. I posted a guide the other day. It won't help you use a Gateway on it though because gateway doesn't support the new 3ds. You might see theres a 240+ page thread about that on this very forum.

  • 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

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
