Sorry, didn't know you updated already.I downloaded this update on its first day of release
I'm kind of missing many things while nepping in Gamindustri for some days.
No problem, I usually check constantly, the pages of the developers of Homebrew.Sorry, didn't know you updated already.

place hourglass9.bin in the luma/payloads folder. depending on which version of luma you're using, u may have to add a button (i.e.) down_hourglass9.bin where down needs to be held upon boot up to enter the app. if ur on a later version of luma, this isn't necessary. this is for stable build 6.6 or lower.
Use godmode9, it can mount, dump and extract your installed titles.

Plus godmode9 is still being updated, hourglass9 hasn't seen a commit in a little over a year.

hourglass9 really serves its purpose well enough that it doesn't NEED another update, imo. It's fine if you need a simple tool, but gm9 is obviously far more feature complete.
Completely agree on that, it doesn't need an update with how well it already works.
I more so wanted to point that fellow towards a tool that could help with rom extraction.
yeah, what I'm trying to do is get a rom.fs, or at least a rom to make a rom fs out of,
So i got the latest version. But i dont know how to find the firm file can someone tell me the title of the file so i can install it properly
Hourglass9 has been dead for over a year now, you should be using GodMode9 instead

The interface for godmode9 SUCKS though... I wish software devs knew how to make a good end-user interface.
Eh. The interface looks complicated to you cause it is a lot more powerful than HourGlass9 or any earlier software.
Besides, there is a scripting system in GodMode9 that's designed to automate common tasks. There are even scripts included to do everything that HourGlass9 did and a lot more. All you have to do is follow the quick installation instructions (just one paragraph) in the readme (that's not included just for shits and giggles). The HOME menu will then provide you with a somewhat familiar interface.
Admitted bias here, but I actually like the interface of GM9. The bias being that I like to have everything right here at my fingertips and I don't need to go through different tools just to do one thing. Plus I just like the layout, there's just something appealing about it for me.

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 -

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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
