This post is a bit wordy to not leave out any details.

Summary of the problems I'm having:
Cannot add n2DSxl and o3DSxl as friends locally (works via online friend code)
Cannot see each other in Pokemon XY and ORAS
Stock n3DS can add n2DSxl and o3DSxl locally and see both CFW systems in Pokemon XY and ORAS

Wordy bit:
Don't remember the specifics but I believe I installed CFW on the o3DSxl with an eShop game using seedminer to install B9S, then updated to the current firmware at the time (I think it was 11.5 or 11.6). The n2DSxl was bought shortly after and used a system transfer from the o3DSxl. Then wiped the NNID from the o3DSxl.

After initially installing CFW on both the n2DSxl and o3DSxl I played Pokemon XY with a friend and everything worked flawlessly. This was months ago. Finally picked up my system again to play ORAS with my friend a few days ago and went to update everything before starting.

Luma3DS 9.1
Boot9strap 1.3
GodMode9 1.7.1
System 11.9.0-42u
Other homebrew CIAs were updated to current versions as well

After updating everything I handed my o3DSxl to my friend and we start playing Pokemon ORAS. Go to trade later on and notice that we can't see each other in game. Both systems were added as friends so I unfriended each of them and went to re-add them locally and end up with the error " You could not connect to [Player]". Thought that was strange so I added the systems via friend code, which worked fine. Still could not see each other in Pokemon. Loaded up our previous XY saves and same deal. After all that I grabbed a stock n3DS put in one of the XY games in and loaded up ORAS on the other two and the n3DS can see the other two systems fine.

After this I have deleted my friend seeds and NNID (only n2DSxl was logged in) on both CFW systems. Used 3DS Recovery Tool to try and restore the friend seeds to their originals. Neither worked and I am not sure where to go from here. I cannot find anything similar happening to others.

    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.
