Has anyone else had the issue when converting the prx files that says:

usage: downgrade_elf.py [-h] [--verbose] --sdk-version SDK_VERSION

Nobody seems to have a solution, and I've been messing with it for over a day trying to get it working.

Have used the app on external hdd 5tb. Works with no issues.

you have a big enough C drive to accommodate the full pkg size of the game you are trying to backport

just look at task manager when you are in the repacking process now


I created the backported patch for AC7 and it works with NO ISSUES.

I know it works without issues my problem is just that I have a small C Drive so thats why im getting errors on it

@RiPPERD is there any way for the app to use other drives besides C:/

It seems I have a little space for it since I just use a small SSD on my laptop

not sure what the problem is as others run it fine... maybe you running 32bit OS?

my tool converts the prx files fine... your doing it slightly wrong though... look at the title of the pY file... downgrade "ELF" you must first convert them to elf

what version are we on now and what about the ea games you figure that out yet
ive not released new version yet... still testing but this wont be out for few hours ive got work and the kids today.

im not 100% sure what the problem with EA games is... if you send me list of prx files ill make them convert but think its the eboot.bin file thats causing problems.

this is still for full game pkg files im going to work on the update/patch pkg next but no point trying to run before you can walk lol

FYI, Moddedwarfare released a backporter that makes a small patch from base game that only takes a min to build. Works really well. His new version supposedly does updates/patch files as well, haven’t tested.

same issues here. It uses to C drive as a temp drive while repacking even if I start backport on my external HDD that has big enough size. That's why I can't backport large games with this tool.

  • 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!
