Every time I exit a GBA game and then power off, my 3DS hangs, and I have to hold the power button to shut it off. Is there any way around this?

Are you using BootAnim9 or something else as the arm9loaderhax.bin file?

I'm using the latest noscreeninit arm9loaderhax.bin file that user Michierusama posted.

"Michierusama, post: 6296563, member: 349196"]Latest a9lh noscreeninit fork from aurora updated.

Changes: cleanup. Update with safe a9lh installer, put the files in the root of sd card and launch safea9lhinstaller, update it, done.

Can anyone else shed any light on this problem? Does anyone else know more about having to force a 3DS to power off after exiting a GBA .CIA?

Did you have the problems before you switch to the new arm9loaderhax.bin?
Did you try another arm9loaderhax.bin to verify that it happenes with all of them?

This is the first time I've played a GBA game using Luma3DS. I don't want to switch to an older arm9loaderhax.bin file. If it's just some sort of error because of the version I'm using, I'll just stick with it until it gets corrected in a future version. It's only a small annoyance to have to hard reset the 3DS. I was just thinking there could be a quick fix.

I'am not sure if there is a "quick fix" because there are not enough informations.
But anyway.
You are using Luma3DS so what did you choose in the configuration?
(press select before start to get into the menu!)
A picture would be nice!

P.S. much better try this one please : http://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/builds/Luma-afc6f51.zip

The link you supplied is what I am using.

Here are my Luma3DS v5.4 Configuration menu settings:

Screen-init brightness: 1
New 3DS CPU Clock+L2

Autoboot SysNAND
SysNAND is updated (A9LH-only)
Force A9LH detection
Show current NAND in System Settings
Show GBA boot screen in patched AGB_FIRM
Enable splash screen with no screen-init

you don't have to enable force a9lh and splash screen(if you don't use any boot image or anime)

  • 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!
