Hacking Discussion Just downgraded to 1.0.0 without burning fuses! Thanks to @rajkosto for his perfect guide!
You know that it's technically not a real downgrade?
There is no point in downgrading to 1.0.0 using Ray's method, because you need to launch 1.0.0 through hekate every time now, which defeats the point.
1.0.0 is still the holy Grail, but downgrading to it makes no sense. Since the fuses are already burned you will have to boot through hekate every time.

Well, that makes 1.0.0 no better than any higher FW. You maybe be able to launch into RCM through software once you're in horizon, but before you can even do that you will still have to boot into RCM using a jig to launch horizon everytime, which makes it useless.
no I mean where did he get the 1.0 dump.

oh I see sorry.
low firmware has become a joke. i have a switch on 3.0.0 that i'm hoping eventually has a reason to have stayed there. really 5.1.0 is the place to be - you have homebrew and backups.
There is no reason to downgrade to 1.0.0 unless you didn't burn any additional efuses (i.e. you only have one burnt fuse) because you updated to >1.0.0 following rajkosto's guide.

If someone offered you enough money then I would. When atmosphere is first released there will be a benefit to 1.0.0, but over time that will reduce.
If the mariko switch is much better and gets any kind of exploit then the value of all original switches will go down, it's unlikely many people will compare about the convenience of an inferior switch.
"without burning fuses"... what fuses could you burn by downgrading?
only upgrading burns fuses right
only upgrading burns fuses right
Yes, but if you try running an older firmware through normals means it won't boot due to an incorrect fuse count.
- No one is chatting at the moment.

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -

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
) -

@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)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
