I understand your skepticism Zander1995 but what we were doing was out of enjoyment of the series we did have some footage we were going to showcase but to avoid the risk of getting legal action taken against us we agreed to comply with their request.

It's not even skepticism, I literally caught you badly photoshopping real screenshots to make it seem like you had a translation project going. (Not to mention the """translation""" actually had nothing to do with what was actually being said in the Japanese screenshots)

Next time, learn how to photoshop better.

I was here! In before the lock! Lol!

PD: Lucky me I kept my skepticism about all this. It seemed too good to be true.

If you're really an adult then why would you (badly) photoshop screenshots trying to make people think you were part of a fan translation that wasn't even real?

Attention seeking, I suppose. I wonder how neglected he was from his parents as a kid to have the need to embarrass himself on the internet.

I'm actually a Girl but a bit of a tomboy.
:unsure: OK, STILL YOU ARE NOT MATURE I GUESS
Doesn't make a bit of difference what's between your legs. What matters is what's between your ears.

The answer: not a whole lot. This entire display of yours was absolutely pathetic.
I LIKE ... BETWEEN LEGS.... SOMETHING...:wub:

Can we actually get back on topic before the thread is locked?

This is veering wildly into (kind of creepy) off-topic territory.

YuseiFD made some surprisingly good progress, people were just too concerned with backseat moderating them even though they hadn't broken any rules.

Of course, if someone were to possibly port the translation to 3DS, it would require some significant changes, like a thinner/better font, text box size increases, possibly more lines per text box if adding more to a character's speech isn't possible. There's also all the menus that'd have to be reworked to fit the localized terms and stuff, and that would take a long while.

    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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
