Well my Gamepad is broken and I cant run Loadiine or HBL b/c i cant open mii maker with just a wiimote.
I keep getting FSGetMountSource failed (SD Card Error) which im guessing is because the app hasnt loaded.
Is there a way around this?

I don't know if it's possible.
Smash has SD access, so it will grand SD access to HBL. I don't know what other function HBL is dependent from Miimaker.
also, not every one has SSBB installed (not as disc).

that's an interesting idea to test, but I don't know what it could provide that Miimaker doesn't.

You don't need to run MiiMaker manually, HBL is automatically launched from the internet browser.

FSGetMountSource failed is an error related to the SD card. Not to miimaker.
it means HBL (or the exploit trying to mount the SD to launch HBL elf) couldn't mount your SD card. try another card. or reformat it.

I tried a different card and it didnt work. i will try reformatting it.
And the HBL exploit launches Mii Maker in order to get SD access, so it prompts me to turn the gamepad on. so when i press cancel, i get FSGetMountSource failed.
And because Mii Maker wasn't actually launched to access my SD card, it wont launch Homebrew Channel.
So I need a workaround for that.
Maybe an exploit that tricks the Wii U into thinking the Gamepad is turned on.

This would probably have to be done using CFW, luckily the CFW can be booted (I think) directly from Browserhax, bypassing the need for HBL entirely. :)

Do I need to use elfloader? Cuz I cant get that to work for some reason.

elfloader won't boot HBL software. Software built for the HBL environment relies of the memory space set aside by console when Mii Maker is launched, and sadly would have to be ported to the Browserhax environment.

This probably isn't needed to run the CFW launcher, but it still needs to be ported to the Browserhax environment nonetheless.
I'm not the one to do this, though, I don't have a compatible SD Card to test it with.

Alright, so I could stop trying to get ELF Loader to work anyways XD

    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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    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?
    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

    @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)
