So I followed "them guide" and have Luma, arm9, FBI, etc. can I use FBI to install .cia games?
Oh And: How do I make a backup save of a free shop game?

Yes, you can. However, freeshop and similar software install the software in a "cleaner" way, so I'd stick with those instead of grabbing .cia's off of that site when possible. You can use JKSM to backup and restore saves.
Agreed, but There's a version of Bravely Second that restores the censored costumes back into the game, along with the class they completely changed, so I wanted access to that.
But, I already have like 9 hours into the standard, so I wanted to definitely keep that save
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
So I grabbed, that, went to the game, export save data, and named it "save1", then I did the same with the extra data.
Should that be it? If I re-install the new one, of the same region, I can go back to the program, and import both of those "save1" datas?
Cool. Should I uninstall the freeshop version FIRST? Or can I install the .CIA version and have it overwrite the original?

Well, it is usually way faster just to grab a cia off a site going through MEGA to download it. I only use free shop to download dlc and fbi has an option to delete the cia after install.
Alright cool. Here goes nothing. I'm pretty tense about this whole situation. 0.0
So...I got an error. Importing extra data worked fine. Trying to import save data says "error opening archive!"
This is a nightmare..
Oh, yes I did. I think I fixed it. I had to initialize the game data first by starting it anyway with no save, exiting, and THEN importing. Thanks for the help

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 -
