No Gamestop around? Because I am 99% sure that it is 3.0.0. But since I do not have the game myself I can not verify.
In my country there is no gamestop and an gonna import it so i have to make sure
I think am gonna wait tell someone have it to confirm 3.0 update

Get pokken tournament dx it has 3.0.0 Update in cart
I can get lego world for less money u know

Honestly I think discussion about firmware versions should usually stay in the hacking topic. Literally all it pertains to is the small section of users who want free games (or totally just want to tinker with it instead of buying a Pi or Android phone) and otherwise it's rather annoying - like a weird cousin that comes up to you every family reunion and asks if you have any meth.
If you have to import every single game you want you may start consider getting them for free man
The system itself cost me 460$ !

:P that is a really weird but funny comparison!

3.0.0 update only on Pokken Tournament DX Cartridge?

Probably not, but that is the only one I have 100% confirmation from.

Who knows the firmware version for Just Dance 2018?

Probably 3.0.2 if not 4.0.0 based on the release date. Safe to say it is not playable on 3.0.0.

Just an FYI: Nintendo bumped the minimum system version in some of their games' updates. For example, Splatoon 2 version 1.4.0 had a minimum requirement of 3.0.2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 1.3.0 has a minimum of 4.0.0.

This shouldn't be much of a concern since you need a recent firmware in order to update your game, but it might be something to keep note of.

True! But if you buy a game from the store (so not E-shop) and decide not to update then you can at least see what game you can play on 3.0.0.
Zelda BOTW sure as hell will be updated when the new DLC will come in. :tpi:

Just a quick suggestion: add the info if additional downloads will be required to play the game/parts of the game. Otherwise later ppl might get a game that could theoreticly played on the fw but cant sice it requires a dowload to run anyway (thinking la noir)

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
