Actually some games have done that.

That's really awesome, haha.
But do you know if this is non-linear?

Only real "solution" I've found is to not use a party of 4. I've been grinding a party of 3, and I'll see how it goes later in the story.
i can play with a party of 4 with no problems at a stable 30fps
Haven't you already said multiple times that you're playing on an emu? Most (if not all) flashcards and even the retail card have the slowdown issue on a 4-man party.

Actually, a few people in the thread said that the game runs faster for them, faster than a retail.

How bad is the slowdown for you guys? i'm having it as well,but just minor dip here and there,but tolerable. compare to Blue dragon which is scary as hell when the frame drop and kinda impossible to play multiplayer which slow down all the way....

Also,anyone with a Japan kingston(or whatever top of the line MiniSD)on AK2i have any comment?

edit: why not try format your SD card and repatch the game on another clean rom

Itried that too, either i have 2 bad acekards or 2 bad MicroSD's or there is something else going on here, perhaps its a difference between the different hardware builds i think mine are all "80". well i will just wait for the new loaders in the mean time, they always help me.

Here's the simplest patch for BAHAMUT's clean release. (credit to a 2ch dude)
The loading speed is slightly faster than XENOM's or intro removed XENOM's.
And it should work on (i)Edge too...

CRC: aace5e9c -> eb483904
Code:
00004420: 1C 00 9F E5 00 10 90 E5 18 20 9F E5 02 00 51 E1
00004430: 14 10 9F 05 08 10 80 05 10 10 9F 05 B4 10 80 05
00004440: 1E FF 2F E1 A4 8A 1D 02 F0 95 5F E1 56 A7 A9 39
00004450: 3E BE AA 36

Great game - just wondering if anyone has found Sellma at Quester's Rest?
I think you need to talk to her to get to the wifi store - anyone know anything about this?

Anyone else just keep playing this fulling knowing they will be doing it all over again when they pick up their retail copy Sunday morning!!
I just play it on my flashcart, buy to support the developers and it looks nice in my collection. Though the buying part is rare, I do it for rare games like DQ9 which the developers weren't sure if they even were going to localise it. We have to support them.

i do a lot of grinding (for gold), i try to max out eq in each town, or ALL party members


just Because you are playing the ROM you don't have to stop using the Rom
you can still buy the game a keep playing the ROM



when you get get to the 2nd town, go to the INN, and you can make your party

I find it strange how many people are complaining about the slowdown. I'm using an R4 with Wood and what I'm pretty sure is a generic nameless microSD, and I've found the lag to be completely tolerable. It actually looks more like a frameskip in an emulator than slowdown to me, as it hardly hinders my gameplay at all.

When I upgraded from an R4 with an SD to an AceKard with an SDHC I definitely noticed more slowdown on 3D games.

There is slowdown?

I haven't noticed any. Also, using Wood R4 with some generic microSD.

Which town, I didn't see anything in Stornway, well I did but isn't that for the co-op? I check again to see.

    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.

  • 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
