Okay, to anyone who is making/morking on a CFW. Would it be possible to somewhat launch nds homebrew via a CFW? I dunno, similar to how Gateway can make their card be a game when you select what game you want from the menu.

I dunno if it's even possible. Would be great to be able to launch old DS homebrew without a flashcard. Please give me a mature response, I don't like negative comments - it's depressing.

Edit: Took a look at the DSiWare Hax but they can't access slot 1, which is what I was hoping for. I want to be able to run the homebrew that lets me copy my retail NDS cards save data.

There's someone on an iso site that got sudokuhax working on the 3ds. search "play dsiware" when you're there.

The process involves overwriting an existing dsiware game on sysnand. Or a backup one, but then you have to launch the game through PBT-CFW and devmen I think.

Hhmmm... I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip. Still would be great if it was part of a CFW, though.

It boots sudokuhax straight off of sysnand with no exploits, it just runs. Kinda CFW-ish really even though it's technically not a cfw. It doesn't play DS backups though (an artificial limitation of sudokuhax).
it's PBT, it's a CFW
This has nothing to do with PBT if installed on a legit sysnand dsiware game.
PBT is only needed if installed over a CIA installed dsiware.

I searched the site for "play dsiware" but I can't find anything on sudokuhax... Yes, I know about that site.

    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.
