i tried for a good 10-15 mins to OPEN my switch, shit as if it has invisible screws.

You need a few different tools to open the thing, its a pain. I'd recommend watching a tear down before trying because there are a number of little things that you can accidentally break and brick the system. I was extremely meticulous when I went digging into mine to find that there's very little room for anything. I do not recall anything like a CMOS battery, and disconnecting the main battery unit did not reset anything when I had it back together. If it has a battery somewhere, its very well hidden and possibly not in plain view.

That being said, it must have some long-term low-power source hidden, I might try cracking my spare open again to see if I can find it later on.

You know what the sad thing about all this, Golf wasn't even that great of a game. People will tear apart their Switches now to mess with it so they can play such a basic game.

Hm.... this is freaking bizarre.

1.0 systems are able to do it, but anything afterward isn't? I wonder what kind of changes have been made to the code since 1.0.

This is more about the mystery at this point, and a cool easter egg at that.

According to yellows8, one must find a way to remove a cache file on the Switch module, without connecting to the Wifi.

I fear that the cache file, once connected to Wifi, cannot be removed permanently.
Even if it stores some offset/reference permanently to disk, removing the battery should at least confuse/offset whatever's stored in that file(?)

I have a 2.3.0 console that's never been connected to the Internet and I can't get it to work.
I suppose there's also a possibility that after 1.0 the easter egg was made more obscure. Did you try letting the home screen dim first before trying the gesture? And also making sure nothing else was running on it.

No way, NES golf is great!! I like all the Nintendo/Mario golf games

I just don't believe thay the source is real, like we haven't actually seen it performed on a 1.0 console yet, heck the other day Plutoo was telling is that the X button was a trigger! Don't go tearing apart your switch yet.

It's already on the Twitter feeds of yellows8, smea, shuffle2, Shiny Quagsire, qlutoo, and other tinkerers' Switches.

For what it's worth, there are no NES Roms anywhere in the console's NAND/etc where flog could access them, even if you somehow managed to launch flog.

Anyway, OP's a liar, move on, nothing to see here.

this quote reads a little awkward , im not sure what to say , maybe this guy is right .. hmm the confusion !

    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

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
