Gents,

Just in case you didnt know yifan & co are looking for wiling sacrifices to the VITA Gods.

You can sign up Here: https://t.co/aO3jUJ09vS

Yifans Twitter: https://twitter.com/yifanlu/status/864231704885469184

BE WARNED: - As this is in BETA there is a very high risk of paperweight making software (Brick) , Please dont sign up, get a brick and then bit*h to yifan, he mentions Brick several times in the form so this application should only be filled out by people willing to risk it for the good of the community.

As i have 2 VITA's and a PSTV i have offered one of them up for testing.

Remember - without testers , bugs dont get found and software gets released like an EA game, almost there - just not quite :P

There are gonna be some dickheads signing up, testing, bricking and then crying for support help afterwards, no doubt about it;)

It think more like a Ubisoft title than a EA one:P

I will add that some a-hole will leak the beta to the public without the proper warnings about the perma bricks.
They require your console id, so they'll most likely be hardcoded into the installer (so not only a leak would be useless, if they're pissed they're even able to blacklist you in the final release :P )

I think that the CID question isn't about mitigating leaks of the builds. But I may be proved wrong anytime by @yifanlu
EDIT: Proved wrong, since I won't be participating in this beta (heck, I will wait months after public release) I didn't even gave a glance at the actual form :P

I love how the Yifan has changed the Form name:

HENkaku Ensō Device Bricking Signup

^^Brilliant^^

There can be no doubt what you are letting your VITA into now :D

He has also said on his twitter than you still have the final say (You dont have to install the build if you get sent it)

or pre-beta if they is a chance of brick.

I kinda want to sign up but kinda don't.
Bricking issues normally don't put me off but now.. ;'D

I'll think I'll register anyway, wait for more stable builds

If you're stupid enough there's always a chance of bricking.

  • 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
