Sorry if it sounds stupid but the jack thing makes me think about ground issues. What if we flash it again but with ear buds plugged during adfu?
I have no time to test this these evening, if someone wants to test it?

To go with this, can anyone try changing the cable?

Just gonna repeat what I posted on the reddit...

From what I noticed in the video, it didn't fix the issue but it did seem to reduce it to the same level that I experience with my machine.

So I guess it all depends which of the 3 joystick boards you have. You will either have no issue to begin with, a minor issue (which in my experience isn't improved by this), or a larger issue which is brought down to the same level as the minor issue by plugging in headphones.

What a bloody weird console lol.

Something very strange here. I made many tests and flashes this evening. On one of them the bug disappeared. I thought it was because of my changes in the finition I posted here but another flash and the bug comes back again. That and the sound's correlation and jack audio seems to confirm a power issue (or damage during flash process). I'm using a micro USB otg and a cheap micro USB cable. I'll look for a better USB C cable. Who was using an otg here? And was it a success or joystick bug?

Also i'd just like to say that all the progress we made, the only real dev to help with this cause was MadMonkey... This should also show those guys who keep asking for hacks, that if you just read a book or google sometimes, you can make your own hacks and progress

My NGM is a Japanese version,and neither the headphone nor the volume off did not work for the bug.
I tried to replace the resister. It shows that only one resistor needs to be replaced. For the left direction, 15k or 20k may work. For the right direction, 7k may work. I am still testing.

This is the resister controlling the left direction. It is a Japanese version. Two days later, I will replace it with 15k or 20k.

I tried yesterday using as cheap and as low powered as possible, and many different cables, USBC to USBC, USBC to USBA, USBMicro with a USBC Adapter, and then I tried using 3, 5, 10, and 15w power supplies, I flashed using Windows XP, Vista, 7, 7 VM, Ubuntu with Qemu... I cannot replicate getting the bug...

    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.

    never had that i don't think
