I am getting this error "OSError: read returned empty 0x1c000" with "[31376] Failed to execute script squirrel" when converting My Time at Sandrock [0100B63016916000] nsp to nsz. any idea what this means? the completed nsz is in the folder.. but not sure if it went allright...

was looking for a way to dump straight from my switch via usb
got the dbi on my switch and got the nscb.exe and .bat.

DONOT run them as is. for whatever reason it seems to RMDIR the whole folder it's executed int, lost my entire downloads folder with documents and shit spanning 10 years back. no way to restore. (SSD).

sure, bad of me to not have a backup but also very bad default behaviour, imho.

looked for a way to file a bug report or something but didn't find jack shit to send any message to author or write ticket on the git so... warning here.

Found an updated fork of this project
https://github.com/seiya-dev/NSC_BUILDER

Doesn't work for me. Just gives - "keys.txt" is not correctly pointed or is missing. when opening. The same keys.txt file works fine in the regular release. I also tried creating a new one and also placing it in every directory possible in the mod version.

Edit: Found out the keys.txt file should be renamed to prod.keys and played in your user directory inside a folder named ".switch" (without the quotes). Or I guess you could just drop your entire prod.keys file in there.

Mind sharing it please? I dont know how to build it from source

You don't have to build it. Click on the green "Code" button. Download the zip. It's in the py directory of the zip file. You may have to run the install_dependencies.bat file that is also included.

Hi! I'm having the same problem with the keys "missing" when i'm sure i put the file in the ztools folder correctly like the previous versions.
I don't understand how you fixed this issue. Where is this user folder you mention? How do I create a folder ".switch", windows wont allow me to

  • 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!
