I thought TC had a long-standing request not to share their betas off-site.

They realized this request was dumb as (a) the beta was legitimately good and people were going to share it any way and (b) they had no site for a long time.

No, the beta firmware has been released at team cyclops beta firmware forum. Usually only registered users have access to this section but due to the really old backup TC has been used to restore its forums, this beta firmware section can be accessed by guests too like the time the backup has been made.

Nope. The beta forum was first for registered users than widely open to everyone and after the restoration to the old state like in 2008 it was close again for only few hours and Evolution from Team Cyclops fixed it again. Trust me ... or try ;-)

Of course you must use BETA software at your own risk. The BETA firmware builds may (and often will) have bugs and we can take no responsibility for any loss of data or other problems associated with using BETA firmware builds. Only proceed if you understand and accept the risks involved! However, in general the worst that can happen is that you may suffer some data corruption on your MicroSD card so as long as you backup your data you don't really have anything to worry about.

The only real restriction now is that ordinarily they'd prefer that new Beta releases aren't released as front-page news.

I used this update and my Cyclo DS worked again.
It stopped working after the last beta update I used.
Just wouldn't boot but woul randomly work just fine. So I thought it was a hardware issue.
I gave up on it and went to my EZflash 5 which has worked well enough for me.
Though with this update the problem seems to be gone for good.

Cheats still dont seem to be workig guess I need to update thoughs.

Gosh its been soo long since I used my Cyclo DS
Considering selling it and getting a DStwo instead heh.

Curious about this new GUI though.
Had no clue they were still working on it anymore.

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    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
