Hey ! I need an advice !
I want to downgrade my console to 2.0 with sysUpdater 0.4.1 and I'm thinking about the way to go back into my 9.2 system after that.

I only have a 4.5 update cartridge and my DS flash is an acecard 2i that only works with 4.3 minimum (or 4.4 maybe, I don't remember).
So I have to use ninjhax 1.1 to come back but it only works with -7 minimum system and I have a 2.0.0-2 update pack...

Maybe I can transform it into a 2.0.0-7 or -10 before downgrade, what do you think ?
Or maybe I can launch the gateway menu or install a mset ROP through the browser on 4.5.0-2, so it's not a problem ?

I think it would really be easier to rent/buy/steal a 9.x update card, eur region has some more options on 9.2
but why do you want to go back to 2.0 and go to 9.2 after that? wouldn't it be better to have a 4.5 3ds with profile exploit?

I need to be on 2.0 to test something and the probleme is not 9.X or 4.X it's that once downgraded my console will be on 2.0.0-2E.
And on this version I can't run anything like ninjhax or the gateway menu even if I update to 4.X or 9.X with a gamecard because these don't support -2 firmware, only -7 And you can't do anything without a DSflashcard that's support this firmware. Mine is a acekard that support only 4.4 and below and I only have a game cartridge that update to 4.5, no 4.2 or 4.0...

just flash the downgraded TWL mode and whitelist and use the AK2i on any firmware.

9.2, I want to downgrade to 2.0 to test something.

9.2.0-20 downgraded to 2.0.0-2 = no prblm but you can't run anything
2.0.0-2 to 4.5 with gamecard = 4.5.0-2, so I lose the browser exploit (even with gateway, I guess, I don't really know)

Come back from 2.0 is not as easy ^^

if you go to 4.5:
well, you can use MSET now so you can use sysupdater to upgrade back to 9.2. just DO NOT use it with gateway, use Pasta.

what are trying to test on 2.0?

Don't downgrade the browser?

Yes, of course ^^ If I replace the 2.X browser by the 4.X one in my update pack before downgrade it will be good, why I don't though about that ^^
Thank you.

    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.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • 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

    @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)
