Added tinfoil network install to my script, along with two new updates.
- There's now an exe version of the script I made, that does not require python
- There's now a python3 version of the script I made, just because some people might prefer that
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Oh, forgot to mention. The network installer is an option you can use once you're done making an nsp. It'll ask you if you want to install it on your switch, and if you say yes, it'll send it to tinfoil.
As of now this option has not been tested, so it may not work at all. Remember, this script is still in development.

I tried a .mkv with H.264 video and AAC audio 720p, but it won't open the file, gives me an error message. Is there maybe a resolution limit?
Edit: Error code: 2808-2606 - This video can't be played.

Major update to the script:
- PySDK used to error out if the directory it was in had a space, it no longer does that.
- PySDK now patches main.npdm title id
- PySDK now has nca generation as an option
- LegalInfo is now an option in meta generation, instead of being forced
All 3 distributions have this update, and the metatool version included has a bug fix from the latest release.

Okay, due to the fact that my script is still in development, there have been some bugs. If you used it previously, redownload it and UPDATE. Please, it's for the sake of stability.
PySDK3 has been ditched due to the fact that developing it would actually take a toll on me (keeping the port alive is hard, there's a lot of bugs when I move it to py3.)

The link for the tutorial doesnt work. Ive been using it for a while now to make movies Ive made alot but it quit working yesterday at the point where it starts to build the nsp. Do you think you could send me the written tutorial the revised one.
Im surprised someone has not tried messing with nintendos internal video player for captured gameplay. Make it ignore security checks and run sig patches on it and it should atleast play mp4s

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:
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?

@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 -
