Well I've not done too much testing but I can access the hbl, I've left the l2 clock setting off(not tried with it on)
I did have a unexplained issue, after backing up the nand before updating to 11.30 I went to update luma but the updater exited with the "there's been an error"(or words to that effects) and titledb in FBI gave the unable to populate error. Got it working after a few mins tho.

So, i did something wrong i think, tried to run hbl before using the payload, now my wifi is not working, if i put it on, it search for wifi but before it could connect the "there's been an error" message occurs, don't know what to do, i was thinking of downgrading and then reinstaling this firmware, what you guys sugest?

So, trying to do this on a japanese 3ds,(cart updated to from 2.1.0-0J to 4.5.0-0J then used decrypt9 to do the rest),stuck because dl'ed the otherapp.bin and it doesn't work at all(still getting the error).

EDIT: The 1.3 HBL Cia did the trick.

what am i supposed to have now just in order to launch HBL ?
i am on latest fw, with updated sysNAND Luma Cfw (official version).

i have gridlauncher folder inside the root of my mSD, and i have the gridlauncher version of HBL .3dsx renamed to boot.3dsx inside the root of my mSD.

i load up hbl cia and then it goes through that black screens of downloading some ropbin files, and then it just kicks me back into the homemenu giving me an error has occured/please save your data bla.

guess, i will try soundhax for now.

If you have a n3DS and stable Luma v6.6, disable Clock+L2 in your Luma settings. Use an updated boot.3dsx (not sure if gridlauncher works) and update the HBL cia to v1.3.

Yes, however, you could also switch to the latest Luma hourlies and not have to remember disabling that option.

awesome thank you OvOb

but , for some reason i want to stick to the official one haha.
is there anything that is better with the hourlies?

the ones that upload the hourlies, who does this ? i think i remember someone by the name astronautlevel compiling them?
does Aurora herself no longer push any more updates?

One thing about the nightlies is that the path of the locale patcher has changed:

Instead of /luma/locales/<ID>.txt, it's /luma/titles/<ID>/locale.txt

Aurora hasn't pushed any updates in awhile so v6.6 is the latest. astronautlevel has been compiling any changes made to the Luma3DS GitHub, which results in the hourlies. Download and install Luma Updater by Hamcha and use that to switch to the latest hourly.

I keep forgetting that this is different in the hourlies.

    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
