Actually, now I'm just confused. The link I posted is RC3 from my other sources but it's the same link I got from going through Mozilla's Download Day links. This confuses the fuck out of me... Mozilla needs to get their shit together.

I got it, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's nice and responsive like earlier Firefox iterations, but the only noticeable changes to me are the bookmark button and updated graphics. The drop down menu in the address bar is kind of annoying. =/

Then use the oldbar extension.

Seems like a lot of people are disappointed.

They stole the damn IE7 layout and it's ugly.
Why can't you use a skin, change the layouts/buttons, or just use the older version if you like then...?

If you gotta complain, then you can talk to the creators about it and wait for ANOTHER version/update or use some other browser...

Been using Firefox3 since rc2 I think, glad the final is out. Used to use IE7, but seeing how great noscript and adblock are, I made the switch. Seems like nothing totally different from FF2, which was nice as well. Anyways, the biggest thing, probably only real thing I didn't like was the big back button. For those who just want a simplier layout, and more real estate for web browsing, you can enable small icons, which make the button icons more uniform. Not sure if this has been mentioned, thought I'd just throw that out. Just right click on the bar, hit customize, then small icons.

Actually, IE7 stole Firefox's style. That was a while back. I already had one of the RC versions of 3 so I don't see much difference. However, it's a large improvement over 2 in speed and memory holes. I've got an old computer and notice the speed increase more than others might.

I really don't get it: this was supposed to be an improvement in RAM use, but FF3 is using more than a hundred MB WITHOUT any extensions. This is crazy. I can't even download extensions, because the site has colapsed. This is enough, how on Earth is 100MB less than the usual 40something I was getting with FF2?. If I can find it, I'll get FF2 again... if not, then welcome back, IE7. Or Opera.

    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.

    never had that i don't think
  • 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
