You're asking the wrong person. I wouldn't know the first thing about updating the application for sighax support, unless it's as simple as changing where the updater gets its files from.
I'll try my hardest, but I'm not sure what all I would have to change to make it work properly. Why is Hamcha's Luma Updater still linked in Plailect's guide though?

Just realized that also Decript9 is borked till it gets a .firm version. Yeah no worth a dime to update a9lh to strapon9 just yet.
I will once I figure out how to make it work properly. And I'll need someone with sighax installed to test it as I don't want to upgrade right this moment.

Learn something new everyday.
Would having Luma's boot.firm on a a9lh system mess up anything? I can test to see if it at least downloads the .firm correctly.

I figured that. Thanks! I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.

I can test it. Just send me the version that downloads the .firm payload as soon as you finish it. Of course I need to install SigHax first... Let me get right on that.

What I meant was if it would download the newest boot.firm when it comes time for Luma to update. If people update to sighax right this moment, then there's no need for Luma Updater.

I mean, if it just replaces files on the SD card, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I do see your point now. For contacting Plailect to send him my version of Luma Updater, would I just make an issue on the guide's Github page?

it's better since users can dump their own bootrom and otp at any point, which means they can do things like de/encrypt games on PC without a 3DS in the middle.
dropping older entrypoints is less code to maintain, and I think devs really don't want to support a9lh anymore when b9s is easier and better to work with.
as for Decrypt9WIP, the newer tool is GodMode9 (which got b9s support too) and I don't know if D9WIP will be updated.

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?
