I tried forwarding both Black Sigil and FFT:A2. I received a .CIA for Black Sigil but I'm only getting an .nds file for FFT:A2. The FAQ says this happens when using an x86 system but I'm using x64 and it works for black Sigil, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Try shortening the ROM's filename.

Hello everyone :)

I came to the whole 2ds custom firmware game 4 days ago. Set up everything and everythings working. Did also a whole lot of reading throughhomebrew and everything.

To my question:
Is it possible to use twilight and the forwarder side by side, because i saw i need to replace some files in _nds folder that already exist from twilight.
I'd like to have my pokemon nds games on the 3ds homescreen and all my other nds roms in twilight menu. (Sry for my english)
Is that in any way possible?

Thanks in advance :)

Just replace the files and both the Cia forwarded games and ones booted in TWiLight Menu will work.

Quick question, I want to use a cheat on a game I'm playing through forwarders, but having trouble. How can I go about it? Moving it to Desmume gives me issues with the save file, No$GBA needs NDS BIOS files and too lazy to go look for them and so on... I just need to use an EXP cheat on KH:358/2D to get lots of level up panels now that I beat the story (currently at lv80 after some grinding and good use of panels) and want to be lv99 to make sure I get the best record in Mission Mode to get the most crowns (since you get 2-10 crowns ONLY the first time you beat those and subsequent runs only give you 1 so want to get as many as possible as fast as possible) plus so I won't have to re-do sigil missions a dozen times each for perfect score... Any help with using the cheat?

For now, you need to patch the ROM using DSATM.

What's that? I found a thread on here about it but doesn't say anything about how to use it or what it does, so confused, first time I hear of it after all:/

A tool that attempts to add cheats to a ROM so you can use cheats and things like slow motion (standard CPU flood slow motion) on a cart/emulator that does not support the cheats or if you simply want cheats hardpatched into the ROM.

EDIT sorry,wrong Link...:rofl2:

and it is from @FAST6191 :)

  • 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!
