I followed these steps, and have been met with no success.
The payload is not injected on boot, and the SSID is not being broadcast anymore. I seem to have simply bricked the tiny thing. Any ideas? I don't have an ethernet port and don't really feel like dropping cash on an adapter on something that might not work.
If you flashed uboot you can put one of the later firmwares with wifi enabled on a FAT formatted flash drive, insert it into the dongle and turn it on while holding the reset button. It might take a few tries but eventually it should reflash it.

So, I just tried that and have some fun flashing LED lights but unfortunately the guide that came with it is entirely in Chinese.
I think I flashed uboot successfully; it did and said exactly what the guide told me. But ever since I rebooted it, it does not want to broadcast anything.

Huh, while I was typing the above paragraph some new stuff happened. Now it's broadcasting "3GWIFI_XXXX" (like, it actually has the Xs, it's not just a placeholder) but the password thats printed on it isn't working. I used your most recent firmware.bin. Do you know what it is?

It's 12345678

Glad it's working. :) Enjoy!

I refreshed your firmware and while the password still isn't working on my laptop, it did work on my phone. But when I try to telnet into 10.1.5.1 it is refusing the connection.
Lede uses SSH instead of Telnet so you need to switch to an SSH client. At this point you don't need to though. You can switch payloads using the usb method or by connecting to the SSH port with an SCP client.

Alright, I SSH'd in as root, changed the payload, tested it on my switch (it worked) and then...when I disconnect the router from power and reconnect it to power, it doesn't boot again, like before. argh.
Any ideas?

EDIT: When it boot loops like this, both the red and blue lights are on, fwiw

This is new behaviour to me, must be a quirk or fault with your device.

OK, so I screwed up, I edit the config files manually from h t t p s://github.com/ijuintekka/fusee-a5 but wired access no longer works for me. I think the easiest way for me to sort this is just to flash the firmware.bin.
I put it on a usb stick and inserted it into the unit, but I can't see it anywhere what's the easiest way to reflash the firmware?

I've got access via wifi and can ssh from there just fine :)

[edit] I should also add that I'm shit with Linux so instructions for an idiot would be good ;)

    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.
