I don't want to update to 11.4 automatically. How can I manually update to 11.3?
There are several ways, by using a game with 11.3 on it, by using sysUpdater, or a ctrtransfer with 3Down.
But why 11.3 specifically? CFW has full support for the latest update, and games should even work fine on older firmwares.

If you go the game cart direction, only two games have an 11.3 update AFAIK:
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Ever Oasis

Ok so updating to 11.4 is fine. So can I run sysupdater with no CFW? I own an old 3ds on 8.1. I'm a noob to 3ds hacking so.

if the system isn't hacked yet you don't wanna update all the way (unless you have a ntrboot card). You want to install B9S then you can update to the latest fw update

Ok I found this guide how to use b9s. According to the guide it says to visit one of these website links
But I can't access the internet browser on 3ds. I receive this message, " The internet browser will be available once you update your system via the internet.

https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(browser)
You don't have an internet browser. If you're on 4.x or 6.x you can use a DS flashcart with MSET. Otherwise you'll have to update to 9.0-11.3 and use an entrypoint from https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(alternatives)

    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.

    never had that i don't think
