Why not have a backup site? Since you are the only ones who host the binaries this is indeed dumb. Just make an apache basic install and forward the download section. This is done in 5 mins and you have all time in the world to move your server.
While I'm sure everyone thanks you for the tip on apache web servers, the problem is DNS, not web hosting.

Nintendo does not have the authority to shut down websites. They can certianlly send a C&D but im pretty sure xecuter could care less about nintendo's legal threats. I feel confident saying they likely host in a region that has loose regulations in regard to copyright law so that they don't face these kinds of issues. Its likely just normal server-side problems.
Ya sure about that? I think Soulja Boy would say different.

cronusmax
Well I say good riddance. The Cronusmax is a shitty clone product anyways. :tpi:
whats worse is its a clone of a clone with stolen code.

to their credit they did update newer hardware revisions of the cronusmax so the build quality is better. (I'm on my 3rd of them the V3, had the original from mid 2013 where the branding on the shell was from the people they originally ripped off and a 2nd one after it died)

so far i can say the current V3 model is soldered better, but the code is still all stolen and it has no switch support etc. and they claimed its "impossible" with the hardware

thats why i moved to consoletuner (one of the people they ripped off)they have switch support and much better customer service, i only wish i knew about consoletuner prior to going with cronusmax multiple times.

it goes to show better marketing and placement in gamestops/bestbuy etc can make a clone better the household name despite being worse then the original.

TLDR: screw cronusmax
consoletuner's titan series FTW

Can you get a refund from the reseller, or via your credit card or something, if you don't end up getting what you paid for?
I got it from https://www.axiogame.com/ but I doubt they will refund a digital good.
Even when I can proof it isn't used yet, because they send it to me after the site went down, I could still use the license later on, if TX is coming back online, I guess.

I just can't do anything about it now I guess... right?

I guess right now you can't. If the site never came back and you could never use what you paid for, I'd hope you'd get a refund one way or another.

Maybe like you said, I could do something through the Credit Card thing, I just never had to do it, I'll have to look up how that stuff works if TX doesn't come back.

i don't understand why all the panic,it's not like 8.0.0 is out,the ones who should be panicking are the TX team because new customers won't be able to verify their newly bought licences = loss of sales

is it verified, that the license check in SX try to get the URL, which is down? Sure, you cannot generate one on the offline Website.. but perhaps they build the check from the switch to another endpoint..

Nothing you are saying makes any sense. Licensing is down.

  • 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!
