For me It started yesterday on 1.6.0c

That is why I said "legit". If you are playing via OFW with official Nintendo online connectivity, your version will show 1.6.0b as of 12/1. If you are playing with BCAT hacks (offline), your version will be 1.6.0c as of last month whenever you applied the hack.

Hey all. I'm working on a homebrew module to automate the patching of new events in AC:NH. The attached screenshot is a first success which shows that I'm able to read the BCAT data in my homebrew app. The idea is to provide the event files which are forged by the community on a server and let the homebrew app automatically patch them, so you just have to open that app!

I still can't get it to work past 1.6.0a, i'm restoring the forged bcat and using switch time but still nothing. Can someone help me with a detailed guide or something? Because it's clear i'm missing something here, even though simply restoring the bcat always worked (never had to use switch time either, not that it's doing something now but still)

Sorry to ask, but I've never tampered the BCAT files but now I'm intrigued. How to inject them? Can somebody please give me a quick "how to"? And also, could this method work with the Smash Bros Ultimate limited internet event spirits? Thank you.

(I press wrong the "Backup" button on the JKSV after put the BCAT files :rofl:
It should press the "Restore" button to inject the save.:P )

Have you finished this? Has anyone updated a BCAT for the 1.7 events?

Hmmm. I injected this on my save and restored with JSKV then used switch time to change the date to 2/15, but it didn't come up at 1.7.0a ? I don't understand what I did wrong!

Update: nevermind it works!! thank you so much

Will there be 1.7.0b and 1.7.0c and so on for other events?
Anticipating for them.

No more BCAT after the BCAT_EventFlag_007 (1.7.0a)
Other events are just Time gated event.
By other event I mean, during February:
- Groundhog Day (02/02)
- <リージョン>バレンタインデー (aka Valentine's Day)
- Catch Insect Event for South Hemisphere

In future:
- Setsubun
- 2 "Big Game" Events listed as 'BigGame and BigGame2"

    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
