it's because of the exploit.
an exploit glitch itself into a glitch into the system and run itself.

Why would you want to remove these awesome glitchy-rainbow lines?
On mine when it loads looks like its glitched smdh logos loading. I can justabout makeout one of the save managaing apps logos when the colours flash.
I believe its because the way most of the payload is executed is through the GPU. When you run an exploit, the code that is executed is loaded into the frame buffer (the next frame for the screen to display) and is "displayed." Since its not a formatted video frame, it comes out as random artifacts. Kinda like when you open a picture in notepad but in reverse.
I haven't looked into the exploit code for menu or browser hax, or the HBL code. but that would be my educated guess.

Weird. The hbmenu 3dsx I have loads instantly without the icon-loading routine (flashing glitchyness).
I guess newer hbmenu binaries have a modified title selector function that loads the icons this way. But why doesn't the one I have do this?
Edit: it's used to know what the ropbin is doing currently. So if it freezes on some color, someone could track back the cause of the freeze. Also, if you have a list of so-called "gadgets", that you dumped from the 3DS's software, you could edit the ropbin to not flash the bottom screen.

The code is loaded to the memory using "gspwn". Long story short, the GPU can access the currently running application's code section, and can even overwrite it. So you can load the payload into memory by copying the binary to the screen, and then copying that to the currently running application's code section, and then jumping to it.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

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 -

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

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?

@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

@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!

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
