Since the reverse is true I was wondering if I could convert NTR to Gateshark. If so, how would I go about doing so.

no, there's conversation that needs to be done. NTR is C and gateway is text. i dont know the exact way but if you find a way to convert a code to ntr, you can just reverse the process

Most of the codes are portable to Gateshark since the reverse is possible.

BUT, complex code with a lot of data manipulation (data structure, encryption handling, etc...) can't be ported since you're limited to the operations given by the Gateshark system.

Also, note that as there are a few codes which work under Gateshark but not on NTR, the opposite might be possible as well.

Last thing: it's not possible to convert a plugin file (.plg) into a Gateshark code.
You need the source code of the plugin to convert it.

Yeah, I need this since I want to see the source of the .plg codes...
For example Xenoblade Chronicles 3D doesn't have any code on Fort42,
But there are .plg NTR cheats on the internet.
I'd really like to see the source code of the .plg in Gateshark format and if possible put it on Fort42.

read the last part of post #6
I have, still I just stated that it would be nice if I'd be able to, since I don't have the source and would be great to extract the source from .plg if possible.
Why would someone need to convert it if they already have the source anyway.

.plg to .txt code probably not gonna happen and that plugin doesn't use regular method like you see in other cheat plugin source code to make
probably better off start fresh and search the codes address by yourself then make a cheat plugin

    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
