Sweet :)

Btw, do any CFW support DS games (not 3ds)? Or should I just keep using my DS flashcart for that? It seems to work pretty well anyways!

Cheers

CFWs do not support booting DS games without a cart (yet, there a project going on, but nothing usable yet.)
So for now, just keep using your current DS flashcart.

Seriously! I don't think you can run 3DS games on most flashcarts, and they get patched. If anything I recommend getting a bigger SD card and a CFW.
You can use FBI to download any game you want.

Yet.
Someone on that ISO site claimed to make it work by modifying the firmware and the gametype, kinda the same way Gateway users did it.
IF it is true then the SKY team should be able to give a new firmware soon(tm). Or just disregard it and try to sell a new card :D

But anyway, if you have a downgradable firmware go the CFW way, there is no question about that.

CFW following Plailects guide 100%. keep your R4 games for playing DS games :)
And as stated above you can even make shortcuts on the 3DS homescreen to your DS games using forwarders :)

It's extremly easy to debunk it. If you use mitm and log any data send from a 3ds to nintendo's server, then you can see without any doubt, that the tmd/tik version number is never send.... But people just don't want to hear it. Nintendo can't even see the difference between CIA and 3DS when connecting online, because it's the exact same file, you can check the sha256 if you want, it's the same.

things nintendo can see:
- cartridge / console unique id (header)
- device id (LocalFriendCodeSeed_ / moveable.sed / arm9 itcm memory)
- device certs (CTCert)
- device region (SecureInfo_ )
- device specific other id's (nex id, pss id, ...)
- nnid (if you have one)
- game version (code.bin)
- if you use game sync -> any cheated data

They could just compare what you have in your ticket.db to your actual purchase history not just the validity of the tickets.

So explain why haven't they done that? Also remember that carts where banned too so they clearly don't care.

I have no idea. Especially with all they already know about your console. I don't understand why they didn't make that extra step.
Not that I'm complaining thought :D

Edit: The same goes with the flashcart. Why the private header doesn't at least contain info about the game it is from? That way you wouldn't be able to use a header from OOT to play Pokémon...

IF i may...i was on 10.5 and have hacked/modded a number of systems. I installed CFW last weekend. It did NOT take 30 minutes to downgrade/downgrade/update/mod my system. More like 3 hours. I am not slow, i am not dumb, i know how to follow instructions to a tee. It took a lot longer than an hour. Now with that being said, i thoroughly enjoy hacking things so those 3 hours were some of the best 3 hours I've had in months..so i may have been a bit more thorough than most...but yeah, not happening in 30 mins. no way.

But was it worth it? Absolutely. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My point being, clear a night after 9pm to do it.

    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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

  • 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
