Update: I managed to install the CIA for Nitrohax3DS. The only issue I'm dealing with it that it is rather slow to load up the codes after inserting the DS cartridge. Is it always like that or can it be sped up?
If you're using the original cheats.xml version then using my usrcheat.dat fork may improve the speed. I've never tested the speed difference vs. the original, but I think it only takes maybe a second to load the cheats with it so if the original's bad enough to be a problem then it's likely an improvement.

I got it to work, just like you suggested. One more thing about NitroHax. I heard something about bypassing the Wifi. What is that?

What do you mean "bypassing the wifi"? Like getting around it being discontinued? You can do that simply by changing your DNS so it uses Wiimmfi, see this page for the DNS to use and how to set up a compatible network if you don't have one.

What if your ds can't connect to wifi because they discontinued the wifi for the first DS n my r4 card only works on this one. I got all the IRS cheats on the file of cheats in my r4 but when I got tools n try to update it just keeps loading n won't update the cheats in, so the x option doesn't show up when I do (y) twice and enable the cheats? Any help?

I press 'Y' while selecting a game and nothing happens,what might have happened?
I turned on cheats (4-5 years ago) but i still don't know how to turn them off

    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
