I'm pretty sure that is Red signal on the inversed LED (green after USB write), you should solder the RGB mode jumper.

the firmware from the top of this page might help you. (oh, from the previous page now)
hello, I was finally able to boot the chip, check the soldering and that's it, but now I wanted to test OFW, check that the connection between the points and the pico fly have 47ohm resistance. I don't know what else I could check pkg1 decryption failed bek is missing

Did you flash the unlock firmware?

Hi guys, I have a question. is it possible to replace the IRFHS8342TRPBF mosfet with something else? I can't find it in my area. also, does anyone have a schematic for the nintendo switch lite?

Been looking about but this thread is kinda all over the place. 30awg wire seems to be the most used? Of 34awg? Some people I've seen say 34 isn't enough for power?
So should I just get some 30awg and do everything with it?

I'd like to thank everyone for leading me into a false sense of hope posting blown up pics of components and me think "AHH they don't look to small, I might be alright soldering this myself"
Everything's bloody tiny! 😂

Hopefully the resistors are the correct ones

  • 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!
