Ok I think I have a rather unique situation here...

I was able to follow the guide and get otp.bin as well as A9LH hax to work. So I have sysand 9.0 and emunand 10.7. And I was able to access decrypt9, luma3DS, menuhax and all. So far so good.

However, when I was restoring a sysnand 9.0, something must have gone wrong. Next thing you know, I booted up and I couldn't get to decrypt 9, luma3DS, menuhax or anything any more. Instead, I was now somehow on sysnand 10.7. well at least i still have FBI - so I thought. but when I click on it gave me an error...

I have otp.bin, as well as the original 9.2 sysnand backup and all those files.

Unfortunately I don't have cubicninja and can't reinstall menuhax again...

So am I stuck on 10.7 now?

Is there any other way to restore sysnand 9.0? I have backups (as well as otp.bin, arm9loaderhax.bin). Just somehow not loaded by my N3DS now...

There's no Menuhax on 10.7 anyhow. Your only hope is to grab OoT3D+Powersaves (or CN or Sky) and, if your A9LH has vanished, use that to downgrade to reinstall A9LH. (Edit: Or to restore on old Nand backup.)

Yeah I tried booting w/o SD already. Guess A9LH is not there any more. I still don't understand how I lost the hax to begin with - all I did was restoring a sysnand, which I've done countless time before...

If you restored your sysnand, your a9lh installation got overwritten with sysnand FIRMs.

Depends on the version of Decrypt9 he used, as well as if he used "Keep A9LH" or not. It's a fairly recent addition.

Assuming he didn't, and just flashed the sysnand back, he definitely lost A9LH

what sysnand you restored?if is the first you have backuped at the start of the guide,sorry but you cancelled a9hax!after gained otp the next step is to melt/inject your updated emunand(10.7 i think)into sysnand...have you done that?

Congrats!^_^ The other day, I accidentally updated Sysnand using System Updates with GW(instead of Luma3DS), which resulted in a hardbricked console. I tried to perform a hardmod, but it even failed. So I ended up buying another N3DS XL and reinstalled A9LH. A $200 lesson.:rofl:

    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!
