You don't need 002 fix on.

If you set your global boot to cIOS 222 it should load fine. There's not really a good reason to be on 249 right now anyway with GX. The only thing it fixes that 222 doesn't is the "please insert disc" issue but that can be resolved by just putting a blank dvd in your drive when you play these games. I use 222 globally and have zero issues with any of my games. Just remember, if you switch to 222 (which you probably won't because everyone is under the assumption that wanin's buggy cIOS's are "the best") you have to shutdown and reboot so the loader boots in 222 before you play any games, otherwise you'll get a black screen.

download uloader 1.6 and use the cIOS installer that comes with it. install cIOS 222 as 37 merge 36 when prompted. make sure you use the installer that comes with uloader 1.6 and not with any other version as I don't know which other revisions that installer came with.

This works, use any installer for 222 as long as you install it as stated above, nice one 0ld8oy.

I had cIOS 222 installed and "Block IOS reload" activated and still got a black screen. So a re-installed Hermes cIOS (most current version which was released yesterday I think) using 37 merged 36 on 222 as proposed, and everything works perfectly (with Block IOS reload on). So thank you for your hint on that.

Shouldn't Sam&Max for instance work as well using this method? Don't have it installed on my hard drive currently to test it, but that would be awesome...

use the IOS PATCHER and patch for 249 and it will work (well did for me at least with it on dvd) patch before burn!

no ideas if it resolves it for USB loaders I don't use them!

Do i need to use my nand backup to get rid of the ios install. I used 36 to install ios 222 previously

I can't even start this game via ios222 from a Configurable Loader v37 having the system meny 3.4 - I get a green screen, nothing is happening and controls aren't responding. i didn't specify to use fix02, and AltDol mechanism was also not used (at least because there is no alternative dols inside this game).

Should i upgrade ios222 sometime (I installed it two months ago and all other games works fine including Mortal Kombat Armagedon via AltDol) or there is something else to pay attention at?

What do you think, mates?

    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.
