If I don't care about the online parts of the Switch and I use SXOS, can I boot into OFW and update the switch to the newest firmware and then go on business as usual?
Does the sxos rcm dongle and usb tool work with latest fw 9.0.1?
Any issues with 9.0.1 and sxos?
Homebrew still works on 9.0.1?​

Also, can a banned switch still do a firmware update with OFW? Or is the only option to update via .xci or the update tool here on gbatemp?

I wouldn't recommend it, but yes. Until you're most likely banned.

If you get banned, it's only possible via third party options such as ChoidujourNX

Can confirm if anybody is wondering that emulators still work perfectly fine on 9.0.1 :)

Yes well maybe not everybody is up to date on all the news on this site and since i dropped the question in first post and didn't get a answer I thought that it would be nice to let newcommers know, sorry if you found me annoying.

No you're fine, 9.0.1 came out a while ago and as soon as any new firmware drops it gets tested by many people with all homebrew. Those threads are still here. I did a search and found many. This thread will eventually get buried as well so it wont matter. But I do believe there is a sticky with info on all firmware. Let me go check.

Edit: yeah it's there but the OP needs to be updated.

But the only downside to be banned is that you can't update or play online right?
In that case I don't really care about ban or no ban.

And it will be worth less if you ever decide to sell it.
No point in wasting a perfectly good cert. It could be useful for things in the future, you can donate it to one of the pirate groups to use for grabbing games and updates, or in the future you might even be able to sell it to someone for the purpose of unbanning.

Yea I guess you're right and I did use the ChoiDujourNX so I should be fine :)

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • 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!
  • 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.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
