The title really explains it; I get that message when I try to boot up rxTools emuNAND. Right now, I am in the process of installing rxTools while having GW emuNAND. I have a 2DS 9.2 sysNAND.

Ask any questions if it helps out on solving my problem.

EDIT: I should have mentioned I am trying to get rxTools in order to coldboot so I already have menuHAX installed on my system.

You must not have the right firmware in the right place, re-download the firmware using the python script, and then place it in the right folder. The firmware in the latest rxtools should go in the rxtools/sys folder for the O3ds.

Okay I did read on something that I have to get the firmware from some file that opens with python. Is this the only solution?

Is there a specific python ver. I need to install?

You need to install python ver 2.7. The script(file) you need to run to download the correct firmware file is in the rxtools tools folder. That guys tutorial looks fine.

Okay so I have opened the cdn_firm.py file but it pops up some coding. I do not know if I installed the correct python but I do know I installed python v2.7.

EDIT: nvm it did give me 3 .bin files but which one do I choose:
-0004013800000002
-0004013800000102
-0004013800000202

This error message only appears on 1027 or later rxTools.

You need to:
1) Re-download firmware with the bundled cdn_firm.py
2) Manually download 0004013800000202's CETK

If you are using the most up to date nightly build, the script gives you 3 .bin files.
Just use an older one, i ran into the same problem, used an older version and voila!

On the latest nightly you are supposed to copy the entire "firm" directory into the rxTools directory on your SD card.
The latest nightly seems to be broken though, and gets stuck on installing data suite when the firm directory is in the correct location.
You will probably have better luck with this nightly, it's the last one that worked for me (and everyone else having issues): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/blmecish...v4F5a/rxTools_10-02-15_19-07.9f48bb8.zip?dl=0
The cdn_firm.py in it gives you a single firmware.bin file, that you have to copy to rxTools\sys on the SD card.

You downloaded a wrong firmware.bin because your cdn_firm.py is outdated.
You must use the latest cdn_firm.py.

I don't think so. Older versions of cdn_firm.py give a single firmware.bin file, only the latest 3 or so revisions make a directory with those 3 files. I got the same result using the latest nightly (which is broken and doesn't even work once you add the firm files)

Missing CETK?
The latest rxTools User Guide did tell you to download the CETK along with the Firm folder.

I read posts from people reporting that adding the cetk file didn't resolve the issue with rxTools getting stuck on installing data suite, so I didn't bother to try it myself.

Installing data suit freezing has been already resolved for several days.
If you stuck on it, your information is not up to date.

  • 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!
  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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

    @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)
