is there any way to download all game updates at once? if not, is there a way to be notified of a new update? I see the download progress bar option in the my profile home page, but I don't know what that does. also, is there any way to list older game history? right now, I only have three titles listed. I guess that's because I haven't played any other games for a while (been engrossed with ys viii :P). I'd like to see how much time I've clocked in odyssey. thanks!

Well, you could just start downloading each update and it'll queue one after another. If you're connected to the internet, your system will periodically check for new game updates and prompt you to install them when you start up that game. As far as older game history goes, I presume you're talking about your activity log? Nothing is thrown out, so if you start up a game, it'll float to the top of the activity log and any hours you've had prior will be listed there. So just start up Odyssey, and it should appear at the top of your activity log along with your hours. Do note that hours only show up after about 7 days, if I'm correct. Any earlier and it'll display, "Played for the first time XXX days ago" or something like that.

thanks. I hadn't started up a game that had an update and received a prompt. I guess that makes sense. I'm just obsessive when it comes to updating my games/system. I own about 12 games, and some of them, including breath of the wild, I haven't even started. I've beaten around 5 of them though. I just don't like starting up a new game unless I've beaten ones I'm already playing. :D

yes, I mean activity log. it's too bad it's not like the 3ds one. it says that it can store 20 games, but mine only shows 3. is there a way to display them all at once or is this due to not having played those games for a while?

also, is it possible to move saves to a micro sd card? I thought I read that it was possible, but then I hear that saves have to remain on the system.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
