Hehe, yeah I guess so! I remember from the times that I've bought eBay items from china, that those auctions always ended around 5 am, when it was morning over there, so I guess I might get an e-mail from hopebuy soon. Also, I have posted on their forums, just to make sure everything goes smooth.

Also, do hopebuy have a item availability status? I can't see if the G6 is stock or not, there's nowhere on their page that lets buyers know it the item is in stock...

They don't, however what i've read from the forum it seems that "hopebuy" does sometimes let people know if the items that they have ordered are out of stock if asked for info regarding their order.

I ordered via Paypal in the middle of the night in China, and by their morning the order status did change to 'received' (meaning, payment received by them). A few hours after that, on a Friday, its status changed again to posted, with a DHL tracking number. Unfortunately the tracking number didn't work all weekend until it finally worked on Monday, when it said the item had been picked up (I guess it was posted too late on the Friday). I'm now constantly checking the DHL site to see when it will be with me. It's taken a day to get from Hong Kong to London so far, which is pretty good!

I've never received any email from Hopebuy, even though I gave them a valid email address, but their response in their forum was ok.

$79.90USD (about$62.42EUR) Sold out!

So there is no G6 left at hopebuy.. and no info when it will be back in stock...

Damn, do they only mark it as a gift if you ask them to? I didn't ask them to and they've already posted it. Hope I don't get hit by a customs charge...
To answer my own question, even though I didn't ask them to, Hopebuy marked it with a $20 value and 'sample of connector'. I didn't get hit by a customs charge. Cool!

Got my G6 lite today, and it came with a black shell. It was even pre-installed in the black shell, so I didn't have to do it myself! Hoooraaay!

They answered ALL of my emails.. very professional service.. i recommend it to everyone.

I wouldn't call them professional but they are quite nice once they get their act together. I was one of the unlucky people back before english release and they said they shipped it a week before they actually did. But once they did ship, took only 2 days to get to california.

I had a few problems with my EZpass3 from Hopebuy. I tried to email them but it was bouncing back, so I left a message on their forum which they have ignored. As it happens my EZpass3 seems to have started working again, but I'm a bit disappointed in their lack of response.

I ordered mine, plus a Passcard 3, yesterday at 1:30AM (east coast us). In under 21 hours the package had shipped. I'm hoping it'll be here by friday or saturday.

It's so nice ordering from a company that does what they're supposed to, as opposed to Divineo US.

Just to add.. the tracking number you'll recieve on the confirmation email (if you did UPS) is not a tracking number but a reference number. You have to email them for the real tracking number before they give it to you.. (don't ask me i don't know why.)

I ordered my G6 from hopebuy,they processed my order fast and i received it after 4 days(from China to UAE in 4 days,thats impressive).
ZThe problem is that it was corrupted on the first day.I guess i was unlucky and got a bad G6.I contacted Hopebuy and they said they will replace it for me.
Again I am not saying that every G6 is bad.I will be sending mine tomorrow.
Get it from hopebuy.They offer great prices and support.

    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.

    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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
