Hey guys,
I'm getting my OLED Mod Chipped next week and I have 2 very important questions that I cant find an answer for anywhere online.

Once the chip is installed by a professional. Should I be concerned about updating the chip firmware later on? And If I do, can it be done through Hekate or should I have to tear open my console and update the chip manually?

Second: I intend to dual boot my console. Having my SYSNAND clean and my emmunand run CFW. Can I update my sysnand normally through Nintendo Update tab ? do I have to worry about it bricking my chip or anything like that ?

You don't need to update the chip firmware if it working fine, update via Nintendo server for Sysnand online play, and daybreak for emunand.

Hypothetically speaking, if I need to, whats the process like, possible through Hekate or I need to hardflash the chip itself ?
Just making sure Im thinking 10 steps ahead and fully understand everything I possibly can before getting mod chipped.

Are you sure updating the sysnand firmware wont messing with the chip's training or anything?

Don't think there is newer firmware than what come with pre flash already. No updating via Nintendo server won't affect chip glitching if you are using sysnand for online play. You should get a V6 black.

I almost bought the white one because everybody bought it but I bought the black because of aesthetics that nobody will ever see.. I'm glad I made that decision.

Im told that version is a newer iteration?

Just that people have problem soldering the ground point on the white one, with some people chip not working. The black is just a revision to fix that problem.

Good to know, should be easier on my soldering dude. Is there any way to find out what NAND is on my switch before it gets opened. I'm just hoping a samsung instead of SK HYNIX

  • 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!
