Jeepers. I was only asking because Vin did it for another guy 1 post before. I had a look at the OP, but the information is all over the place and I couldn't find exactly what I needed there. Sorry that this has upset you so much.

Edit: This is what it says in the OP:
• Method1
Rename the full memory card dump create by GCMM as <GameID of the game you want to play>.raw and put it in your /saves/ folder.
If using this raw dump doesn't work, follow method2.

• Method2
For this method, you need an existing memory card image created by Nintendont. Launch the game you want to play at least one time with "Memory Card Emulation" option enabled.
Then use Dolphin emulator's Memory card manager to move the savegame you want from your GCMM raw dump or from a .gci file into the Nintendont memory card.

I'm sorry, but this is really not very useful to me. You have to understand that I've not done anything like this before. Again, sorry that it's offended you to such a degree that you felt compelled to have a go at me.


so exactly what you don't understand?
have you run nintendont and created a save file?
Do you have dolphin? if not, install it
if you have dolphin, what step you don't understand

You have to try and be specific with your problem.

I was just asking a guy if he would help to convert 2x GCI saved game files over to RAW for me, as I noticed he helped another guy out in exactly the same way a few moments before. That's it.

If you'd like more detail, Nintendont crashed when I tried to load my RAW file (from Dolphin) last night. However I'm at work now and can't remember the error code so I thought it would be quicker to ask another forum member if he would convert a couple of files for me. That's all. I'm not sure why you've got such a bee in your bonnet to be honest!

That being said, I think the OP could be far more descriptive with how this process works, to avoid queries like this being repeated over and over in the thread. The fact that this question keeps being asked (enough for you to want a "READ THE OP" button) surely tells you that the OP guide is pretty short on detailed step-by-step information.

I've had a look through your previous posts, and it's seems like you've got a bit of a thing about not being particularly friendly or supportive to new members, so I guess I'm just yet another irritant for you. That said, 1,337 pages would testify that messing around with Nintendont isn't the easiest thing in the world to conquer, so maybe you should get used to it! :D

Almost everything asked is already answered either in the first post in the thread or has already been asked and answered. Transferring saves is in the first post.

I know man, I already quoted it! I just think it could be expanded on to be more helpful.

Classy. Think I'll bow out from this forum. Thanks to those who have helped.

Ignore him. Nobody should be treating anyone like that. I certainly understand where your confusion came from and hope that you stick around the community for those that have been kind to you. If not, I still respect your decision.

    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.
