Why are you apologizing man lol it was just an observation, chill
GBATemp in terms of politics leans to the left so how do I reply without upsetting anyone? Yes, some do.
News like this aren't too well known because the media isn't neutral (neither left or right), equal, fair, and honest in reporting news as it is:
CNN has lost their credibility because anything they disagree with is considered "far-right" and "white supremacy" which is just nonsense. Other MSM are going the same route.

I live in Scotland, I was about ten years old the first time I saw a black person. When I was at school and up until I joined the Army - that was the only black face I ever saw. Did me or any other of the white people in my school feel privilidged? No we went to a school where a vast amount of kids were miners children, the miners were on strike in th 80's and never got anything from the government and many kids went hungry, when we were at school we were belted daily and 90% of the kids were on free school diners. The only people that had any sort of privilidge were those with mums and dads that were working in a well paid job.
Cash is king, no matter your skin colour. For me and the rest of my peers there was no such a thing as white privilege - this is just a new made up term from USA for the wealthy and the middle classes to carry out some self flagellation. Ask those people to give up their lifestyles and money and put them into the same circumstances as the poor and you will see the end of the self flagellation in about a nanosecond. These people are the same ones that whine about global warming, but they won't give up their cars, travel, electricty or any other modern convenience. For the blacks going on about it - they just want some free shit and generally have a chip on their shoulders about life in general and like to blame white people for all the woes in their life, instead of getting off their arses and helping themselves by getting a decent job. The rest of the people just get on with life - look at the idiots around them and sigh to themselves.
NO ONE has "white privilege". It is literally just a cudgel crafted by leftist liberals to bash anyone who believes in a merit-based society.
I have yet to meet a single person who has ever been able to argue that being born white automatically grants you anything at all in 2023, except for the fact that you will be openly hated and insulted for the sin of being born without as much melanin as others.
It is 100% okay to attack any white person for ANY reason, and justify it by hiding behind the imaginary shield of "YOU HAZ PRIBLIDGE!"
Please. White privilege does not exist for ANYONE.

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?

@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 -

@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)
