I've known about this site for a long time but I've never been able to access it. I always get an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message, and now I find that plenty of people CAN view it. The heck? This is really frustrating.

I've been noticing a lot of errors in these, perhaps it's an incompatibility with the Bliss loader. Many fonts don't show up against the background, and in some menus like system settings it will be missing the highlight entirely so you must use the touch screen to adjust anything. Found several others that forget about the global DS setting for name and the statement you enter, so that the statement ends up somewhere unintended. Yet there doesn't appear to be any system in place to report errors, so for now I'll have to disregard and stick to the known working themes.

I got around to checking all the skins at this site last night. Some cause my AKRPG to crash and prevent changing back to working ones. To fix I connected the AKRPG to my pc and edited the globalsettings.ini to load a working one. You can try deleting the globalsettings.ini file and let the firmware create a new one, but I don't know if all firmwares are capable of that. Seems like in the past, the toughest thing to do was remove the default Start menu label; the newest ones seem to have that resolved. Do not try these on your AKRPG and AK2 if you are not around a computer.

I've downloaded and used over a dozen of these skins...only had a problem with one, and it was just the clock numbers being garbled. The site was down last weekend, and I was afraid it was gone for good =( Lot of good designs on the site - especially that Pip-Boy 3000!

Do you see the calendar dates and time with the pip-boy 3000? I'm using the Star Wars one at the moment but plan on cleaning up a couple of things on it.

  • 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!
