Hello everyone, I have a big question about these pair of games.

Do they have other language in the files? Lately Nintendo put more languages than they use on their games, maybe we have at least European Spanish (for Latinamerica) and European French (for Canada) included on the cartridge but they are hidden inside.

Can anyone research a bit if they have any language? I would really apreciate it!

Try to use the advanced regionfree feature from luma3ds to set the region to "USA ES" in the txt file, and see if the game boots in spanish. If the case, then yes, the language is included. Else, that's not the case, and we have to wait for the eur release.

No, I mean, sometimes there are the files but without the option to use the game in Spanish, it happened with Super Mystery Dungeon and the last Kirby for 3DS.

Does it work with the latest games? If it works, I will try tomorrow, I asked because I remember trying to decrypt Yo-kai Watch (EUR) but I wasn't capable to do it.
If you have a CFW (and arm9 privileges), it will work with all games!
If you have only homebrews (braindump), you will have to wait for the .xml

I recommend you to wait until someone share us the info, but to be honest, i don't think the spanish language files are included... Because Yo-kai watch 2 is still under localization in europe...

Well, you're true, if I'm not wrong, Yo-kai Watch 1 had Spanish and French with an update on February (the game was released there in April), but I heard that the Australian release had the files for the other 4 languages (German-French-Spanish-Italian), we can wait for the Australian release in 15 of October.

Nope. The Australian version of Yo-kai Watch 1 have only the english files.
Check on http://www.3dsdb.com/
Australian=000400000017C200
EUR=0004000000167800

Then, the us version received an update to include fr and es from the eur release, when the eur version was released.

No, the us version had the update late february, I'm totally sure because I played the game in European Spanish when it was released, later in late April the game was released there in Europe.

Hmm... Ooops! Ah yes, sorry, you're right. But... the Australian version only contains english files, for sure.

You could also use Pack Hack on the computer and dump the game without installing it. :]

Asia81's Pack Hack. You can dump any CIA or 3DS file without installing it.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-rebuild-3ds-roms.383055/
I suppose by "dump any cia/3ds" you want to mean "extract any cia/3ds"...
But... you need to decrypt the cia/3ds first... And you need a 3ds to do that.
But yeah, i know, if you download an already citra 3ds game or decrypted cia on that iso site, yep, you can extract it directly with that tool pack.
But you're supposed to buy the game and use it....

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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!
