I mean, I know there will be exploit released for this version, it's okay, I know it and I don'T want to hear anything like : Yes stay on this version, it will be hacked soon.
What I mean is, will there be a lot of homebrew stuff for this hacked version?
Also, even if there is a ISOU dump loader, is it easy to find Wii U iso online?
Do I need to buy a lot of stuff in order to play them?
Will I be able to play online (even if I almost don't use online stuff except for Mario Maker)
That's what I mean, if I want to regulary play to Wii U, what is the best thing to do?
Keep my Wii U updated and buy games?
or
Keep my Wii U on this version and wait for exploit?

There is no certain way to answer yes or no, hopefully yes.

Also, even if there is a ISOU dump loader, is it easy to find Wii U iso online?
Yes, and its called IOSU, not ISOU, and its forbidden to ask about piracy on this site.

Do I need to buy a lot of stuff in order to play them?
Again, since its not released there is no way to answer this, but if its the same as loadiine, then not, you dont.

Will I be able to play online (even if I almost don't use online stuff except for Mario Maker)
Again, its not released, we dont know exactly what can you Do, and Do Not, as well as you will be able to DO, and Do Not.

That's what I mean, if I want to regulary play to Wii U, what is the best thing to do?
Keep my Wii U updated and buy games?
Keep my Wii U on this version and wait for exploit?
If you are willing to spend a few bucks, and got the income to do so, just go buy the games, there aren't a lot of games for this system, probably around 10 or those (MAX), are good ones.

Since you're purposefully ignoring everything said in stickies and in at least a dozen threads...


YES! UPDATE THE MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

...and stop making threads about it.


@others: yeah, I know he will come back to whine when things don't turn out okay for him, but I think we can all agree that he'll do that anyway.

IMO, I would downgrade to 5.3.2

But in order to downgrade you'll have to wait for IOSU and/or a boot-time exploit,
but maybe downgrading isn't even necessary by then,
so perhaps it's better to just

WAIT a.k.a. DON'T UPDATE

Unless....
you realise the question has been asked/answered many times before,
because there are other threads on GBAtemp too (in case you haven't noticed).
TL;DR

Just "DO IT! - Wait! ... Don't Update!"

...

I think the latest version is still 5.5.1, which I am on 5.5.0 right now. Is 5.6 a reality?
So unless you are sure hacks are possible, do not update.
I thought I was a dick but people are worse.

  • 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.

    never had that i don't think
