Oh my lord... With the ignored rules in quote: "Do not post a new thread without searching to see if your question is already answered or discussed. " It got missed, so, I posted it here for future reference.

You can use homebrew but NOPE! YOU CAN'T PIRATE!

We need a sticky thread that says "Click here to play backups on 10.4+!" then when you click on it you'll read something that tells you why you can't.


Except you can. If you're willing to jump through a bunch of hoops and hardmod your system, anyways.

i had the same problem once. but it is a super easy fix.just take out all the old homebrew files (if you never had homebrew at all then your fine. if you accidentally updated without updating the ropbin first then you have to fully REMOVE all the homebrew files in the sd card sadly...) then redownload the Starter kit and re do all the steps needed as the starter kit has been updated.idk if it is updated to 10.5.0-30U yet. after you do everything you need. it should work fine. (playing back ups are not possible atm... HOWEVER, you can still go online with many of the games you currently own. Homebrew roms like GBA emu cannot as it wasn't made for online play.)

There's an even easier fix. Sell the system and get a newer one on a lower system version.

that is true but this way is a bit easier on the budget as the starter kit gets updated usually when the newest update has been available for a few days to a few weeks. why buy a BRAND NEW system when you can just plop the program in again to reuse homebrew. Plus you will mostly get about 20-30$ for a used system if your selling it...not worth the amount you pay for it. the only reason to get a new system is if the previous one gets discontinued of all functions like the many consoles before the 3ds/wiiu.

Piracy.

dude. this isn't piracy. it is just REDOWNLOADING A NEWER VERSION. Are you a scroob? cause your kinda acting like one. you really don't get it.. is your only option just to buy another system? what if they do not have the cash to do so? what if the system they have is one they do not want to get rid of like a limited edition system? IF the system is sold away just to get a new one.. they will be wasting more money to just get a system that has a lower firmware than it is to just remove all the homebrew files currently on the system they have and redo all the steps needed to get homebrew to work again.

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
