Gotta keep trying, it will eventually work :/

Really weird, i just launched yeti3ds and then FBI and it actually went to DONE! Unfortunately it froze on that screen but its progress. Yeti3ds is made with devkitARM and libctru so maybe thats why theres success there? Also as a sidenote I did decide to put my o3ds wifi on

I wonder if you can install all of them one by one and then redownload anything you would want at the moment from e-shop. How this "ticket" for e-shop works?

Update: Just reached done 5 times in a row (albeit with the screen frozen) and the only things i changed was use yeti3ds first and switch my wifi on.

I've tried it like 50 times now, but FBI didn't start once. I'm using ThemeHax 2.1 on Old 3DS 10.3.
Try to run head tracking demo and then FTPBrony. After that try to run FBI. Worked for me. Probably only FTPBrony increases the boot success rate, but me and my friend were using head tracking demo too. Worked.

basicly here how i got 1 on 2 to work
Launch with OOT hax.
nothing else
Even if that launch a laggy FBI it work everytime I am in FBI no mather the text I have. :)
Edit: forgot to say I am on old 3ds 10.3.0-28E.
and menuhax is faster but way less stable.
like menuhax I need 100 try to get on time to work.
in OOT max try 10.
(btw FBI is laggy but not the install! )

A question...
Can I delete the cias after installation?
Yes =)

i think that is most like a cartridge since we haven't bought it from the e-shop
No, it's more like just pre-installed games from bundled consoles. Because I installed Super Smash Bros Legit CIA, then deleted it completely off my SD Card and yet I could redownload it from e-shop. (What I did indeed.)

No luck with Ironhax.
Damn.

Just keep on trying, it eventually loads.

It happens when FBI don't boot succesfull. You need to see whole wall of text with "Done." at end line.

And will the game link to our NNID after redownloading it?

You need to have to see the word "DONE." and be able to press A after that.
If you pressed A, and nothing happened, it freezed. you have to restart again.

I think you went on to the installer too early and didn't load the exploit so it gives off DESCROPTION_INVALID_COMMAND

PS. You don't need to wait for any loading, it's instant. once you see 'done' and pressed a and enters the FBI installer, you're good to go.

  • 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
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
