Noticed this morning...the "Consoles" tab at the top of the site is missing and the chatroom link is new. It's rather annoying to have to go to Forums and scroll down. Is there a way to get the Consoles tab back?

I see this:

Anything 1152x864 to 1280x1024 makes the Consoles tab show. Below that, no good.

Edit -

This way you can see what those two look like, though it might not be perfectly true to what you're used to since your monitor is a lower resolution.

Edit 2 - prime example, on my monitor that's 1920x1080, you can see a distinct width difference (1280 being wider of course, the entire screen being a little shorter, not visible in the picture). On my 1366x768 display, however, they're identical widths.

I just tried the 1152x864 setting. Acceptable. It's a bit smaller, but not nearly as bad as the 1280x1024 is.

Supporting the lower resolution would be appreciated, but I can make do I guess. I'm probably one of the few who's still using such low resolutions out of need.

Hey man you gotta do what you gotta do. I remember the days (just a few years ago) where 1920x1080 was readable from normal sitting distance for me. It's not really anymore unless I really try (or maybe I'm just spoiled by the 1366x768).

At some point you could try moving to (a) physically larger display(s). You can run the same resolutions you run now, but everything will be larger on screen, so you might find yourself able to bump it up another resolution step or two and fit more on the screen while still keeping things an acceptable size. Not that monitors grow on trees or anything.

I just realized this is an issue on iPad as well. No zoom or resolution to adjust there, and definitely no extensions :(

Using chrome for iOS.

Any ideas for this platform?

Regular sized iPad? I am running Safari on the iPad Mini and cannot see the tab either.

You and your inferior resolutions and silly white theme

1680x1050/dark theme masterrace ;o;

I can't help being used to the white theme since it's basically what I've been using since 2007... XD

Just my personal opinion - since Shoptemp isn't selling carts anymore, and it's just reviews - it should be switched with the Consoles tab... as the consoles tab is easier to access the forum with.

I also used the White theme on IPB.
But Xenforo on White is just ugly :c

    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.

    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
