Question, I tried searching for this but no results.
Will the firmware flasher for the DSONEi work on other flash cards?

Thanks if anyone knows the answer!

I'm pretty sure that all the flasher does is just give power to the cart. I don't think it actually gives any access to the card from the computer. So I guess it just depends on whether people will actually support such a thing.

You might be right. However, the progress indicator on the flasher is going, so something's happening, at least...

i guess if you had a m3i0 and lost the cable or some other card with upgradeable boot loader and happen to have a supercard dsonei writer it might flash it.
other than that i have no idea and it may not even work that way on other carts.

It would probably be unlikely that the flasher would work with any other cart, it probably wouldn't work because each cartridge interacts with the microSD slot differently (hence the need for a different DLDI file for each flash cart).

Seeing as how all the card needs is just power to flash it, that wouldn't make any difference. But I guess it remains to be seen if they locked out any other power source other than the USB cable though. It might not work with other flashers.

    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!
