I'd just add that, afaik, you *cannot* play other regions games on a flashed drive firmware--*only* a modchip will let you do this (I know because my flashed drive won't play NTSC-J titles). So if that is in any way your goal, you will have to chip the box for the time being.
Gaming Just got a 360, what chip should i get?

You can't play other regions with chips either. The drive chips do exactly what the flashed firmware does , just a worse job of it. Only chip that can get you playing imports is an infectus , but even then it isn't the chip doing it , the chip is just helping you change region of your box and it only works on the older boxes that can be downgraded so kk exploit works on em.

so nobody knows anything about a new flash method coming soon that works on LiteOn drives? I just wanna know whether to wait a month for this guy, or just pay someone else to change the drive then flash it. from what i can see on the new there is no such thing and the guys making crap up, but i dont really know, maybe i'm searching the wrong places.

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 -

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

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?

@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

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

@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!

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

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
