Hello all, hope everyone's having a great day. I was hoping someone could lend a bit of help/insight as to why I can't for the life of me get CHMM to work. Just got my sky3ds today for my N3DS ver. 9.1.0-20J. sky3ds --> cubic ninja --> homebrew. so far, so good. I went to download CHMM2 (I also tried the earlier version) and place the files in the proper directories on my microSD card. filenames matching folder names and everything. CHMM2 appears in the homebrew menu, but as soon as I run it I get a red screen on the bottom, some code on the top (for about half a second), and then nothing but two black screens. At this point I can't do anything. Pressing Home, Power, anything, just does absolutely nothing. I have to perform a hard shutoff (holding down the power button). Again, with the correct files in the correct folders, and even the most recent boot.3dsx from smea, I don't see why it's not working. If anyone could at least point me in the right direction I'd certainly be grateful. Thanks you in advance.

Edit: I've been searching for answers for the past hour or so, and I'm still looking. So I don't want anyone to think that I'm just waiting to be spoon-fed the answers. I have no problem doing research of my own for problem solving, but right now I've got nothing, and I'm not any closer to finding what's wrong.

Other homebrew apps work fine. Unfortunately I don't have a retail cartridge of Cubic Ninja (seeing as how it's about the same price as Sky3DS and I'd get more bang for my buck with sky). But you're right it could be an issue related to Sky3DS. I'll keep searching/trying different methods.

It could be sky3ds related. I have sky3ds as well. All my other hbs works. But not chmm... but chmm did work for me long time ago. I must have been playing with Ninjhax 1.1b then..

Well unless I find another way to install themes without using the e-shop I might have to break down and buy the retail cartridge. Thank you for the quick replies!

If you use directly retail cartridge you'll surely be fine.

Yeah, perhaps it is sky3ds.. But I'm like TS. I bought a sky3ds instead of Cubic ninja. It was almost the same price then. So I won't buy Cubic ninja. Chmm version 1 works sometimes. So I'll use the old one. It's ok for me. Even though I would love to have shuffling on :)

I don't think this is the problem, if so sky could be detected easily.
I have oothax on sky and it working as well.

I'll try chmm2 on my O3DSXL fw 10 with Ironhax tomorrow! :)

It works on ironhax 9.9 as I tested.
You don't need to try it because the reason can be sky of version 9.1- so what you should check is if it work on cubic ninja retail. Or with tubehax on 9.1

I think the problem here is theme shuffle was introduced in 9.2 and not 9.1 so this feature might screw up. Why not just emunand it to 9.9?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ 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 @ 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.

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • 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

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
