Run without emunand? But you won't be able to launch devmen unless you are running in GW mode

So when dev menu was first announced, that was with gateway mode? I thought on sys nand homebrew had more permissions, like sound and stuff.

Just did it today, DO NOT format emuNAND(and not have emuNAND partition on SD). This will make you boot gateway in sysNAND. open devmenu.3ds and import cia. turn off your ds and see the app in sysNAND.

Problems:
You can't open the app without gateway mode
opening the app in gw then press home will somewhat render select button useless, i suspect it returns to non gw mode

tested on gw 2.7 homebrew and game

in short useless

Nand mod plus software

Let me take a stab at this... You make a new emuNAND setup on your SD. Since you're sysNAND is on 4.x so is your new emuNAND. You install DevMenu/BBMenu on your 4.x emuNAND. You extract that emuNAND from the SD. You use the hardware mod to install that backup to sysNAND. Right?

I gotta get a hardware mod.

Or am I wrong?

Yup you got it, you also can use the hard mod to update and receive eshop updates and then downgrade to 4.x and convert to cia. I did this for a few people already when we lost support for 9.3 / 9.4

Just wantin to install BBM so I can install Cubic Ninja and not need the card. Preeety sure there was some benefit that gateway emunand didn't get as far as homebrew.

Absolutely the most compelling reason to get a hard mod to date. Thanks.

Yea you can convert the US version of CN to a cia and install it on the 4.x system nand then be able to run it. Makes you be able to update emunand to 9.4 and still get homebrew launcher

This was exactly what I was thinking of doing too, but somebody in another thread (asking about SaveDataFiler with retail CARD1 games) was telling me that ever since 9.x you can't switch between Gateway and sysNAND modes.

Are they just being idiots? I was fairly certain that method will work, and it's what I was going to do once I get my NAND modded 3DSes back in my mailbox.

I'll post a video when I get off work tomorrow showing how I was able to get it working with cubic ninja as a cia then show how I can boot into emunand

    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!
