So the OP said to ignore the memchunkhax2 files in the zip they provided, but what if you don't have the test version of memchunkhax2 from yesterday in your 3ds folder? Will it still work or do you need the memchunkhax2 files in the zip?

As far as I know you do not need the files at all, but it wouldn't hurt to have them in there anyway, either way works.

You'll know when it will install because this text will appear in the top screen when you hilight your cia

Guys help!! What just happened?! I did 2 successful games, Mario Kart 7 and Tomodachi but now Super Mario World has caused this:

Tapping it on the desk causes it to die? And its always like this each restart. Have I somehow broke my 3ds .-.
I haven't ever dropped my 3ds, its always on my desk. I can still use the bottom screen its just frozen to my view. The top is all fuzzy though.

Do you mean THE Super Mario World? The one that you can only get through virtual console? That's very much not a legit CIA. Honestly I don't know what kind of file that is, but I don't think it would work to well with FBI. If you meant Super Mario 3D Land then I don't know what's wrong though.

Also, am I supposed to have FBI try to install the rom as a .7z file or do I have to unzip it?

Nah, the Super Mario 3D Land lol, and you install the rom as a .cia, so the contents of the .7z file.
I have no idea what I've done though.

Thank you. Hope you solve your problem. And I'm glad you didn't try to install Super Mario World lol.

Wrong.
"You can make personal legit CIAs, that will work on sysnand, but ONLY on your console." "Only nintendo can create these signatures."
Anything can be a "legit" CIA for yourself, as long as you already bought it and built it for yourself.

Help, its always freezes after it says, "Map Complete" I tried pressing buttons and touching the screen, but nothing. I reboot, and then go back to it, it still says the same thing. Help.

  • 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
