I don't want to commit, this is fun, not a job. But I guess, that is my problem, I did commit, that is why I get bored of most games so fast. (Even the really really good ones like MGS, Mario and Halo).
yea i felt really weird when i was playing pokemon at school and people asked me how i got 18hrs into it already...

Perhaps the feeling your describing is Guilt, derived from your pirating of games, but you just don't want to admit it to yourself
Honestly, I nearly laughed out loud when I read that, pirates feeling guilt, you've got to be kidding me
I used to get a similar feeling while playing my xbox. I think having access to to any game you could ever possibly want for a system can be a little over whelming at times. I'd sit there staring at a list over 150 games and not want to play ANY of them. It's fucked up but it will pass.
I feel the same way.
When I play a game from a flash cart, it's not quarter as fun as if I play an original. I don't know why. So, I still buy all the games I'm excited about.

I get that feeling sometimes...
...but my main problem is being on GBAtemp too much, and not really even playing that many games
I get a weird feeling going into a store and even considering actually purchasing a game anymore when, with a couple clicks of the mouse, I can have it for free without ever getting off my ass or spending my hard-earned money.
I still feel like a fool for having waited as long as I did before getting into flashcarts. My DS gets used more now than ever before.
I feel guilty screwing over a friend or hurting someone's feelings, but I DO NOT feel the slightest bit of guilt sticking it to the money-grubbing corporations when they won't let you return a game if you don't like it, or a piece of software won't run on your PC but you can't do anything about it bedsides spend MORE money to upgrade because there is no refunds on software. They don't feel the slightest bit of guilt about screwing you that way, so why should I care if they lose money because I downloaded the stuff for free?
I can be greedy too and feel absolutely NO guilt about being that way. They don't.
I just wish I could download money and gasoline, then my life would be perfect.

I don't really feel guilty from screwing over a company out of a few games which prob. cost them $10 to make. I already buy enough Nintendo stuff and the games i play on my card are ones that i wouldn't bother buying...the price of games is ridiculous these days.
I don't feel bad about being a pirate because us Europeans get a raw deal. We get a limited selection of the hardware and games available.... MONTHS after everywhere else AND for higher prices. For a DS game in England, the RRP is usually $60 USD (£30 GBP).
I do not feel bad a all, I would pirate less if europe wouldn't be treated as a god damn 3rd world country when it comes to games
People in 3rd world countries like games too. And here, everything is even more expensive. DS + R4 = US$ 370 and original cartridge US$ 75 (ebay-like site). And we don't even have an official Nintendo representation (at least in Brazil).

Same thing in Israel, Nintendo doesn't sell its product in Israel and stores that stock it have to import it from resellers elsewhere which means double taxes, double shipping and triple price for consumers.
I'd be happy to buy their games if they sold it officially for an honest price, like they do in Asia and the US.
But as long as they don't seem to want my money, I'm not going to give it to them.

My thoughts exactly.

Somehow it really is strange... before I started to buy my first DS Flashcard I enjoyed all games I played pretty much. Now, as I have full game access I always change out my games pretty often.
=> I always play the newest games. With my Gba Flashcard it was different, I could concentrate on one game, but on the DS I can't just concentrate on one game, for example yesterday I played FFIX: Revenant Wings (which rocks) but today I'm going to play Spiderman 3.
The only good thing about this is that I play older games from time to time aswell, e.g. Splinter Cell and MP:H

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 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)
