Worked for me on my mom's PC which has WinRAR installed. Maybe you just got a one off problem? Redownload and try again.

I edited my original post once I seen you were using winRAR. Look at what I said again.

I just downloaded and extracted fine, download again, use another pc, use 7zip. User error...

I would love to know what you did to troubleshoot.
- download the file again, try to extract it again...

or did you just try it once, got an error and opened up a new thread accusing the guide links to corrupted files?

Why exactly do you think "Unknown method" means "FILE IS CORRUPTED!!! ZOMG"?

The Luma3DS 7z archive is compressed using LZMA2, which your version of WinRAR doesn't support. The current version (5.4) seems to support LZMA2. (Not sure when it was added.)

EDIT: Based on your post history, I'm inclined to believe you intentionally installed an old version of WinRAR just to whine about https://3ds.guide/ because you wasted your money on a 3DS flashcard.

I tried like 5 times. The other 7z file opened fine. Doesn't make sense. I did download 7z and it worked. Thanks. Im terrified of this

I already did as GerbilSoft and looked into what you have been posting recently.... It's obvious what you're doing, even to a blind person. GitHub does not host files that are corrupted, deal with it. Let it be now, or you will be punished for 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!
