I have this R4i3D 2015. Will it work? Are there any risks in this? I haven't been updated about DS flashcards for quite a long time now. I used to own an acekard 2i back in DS Lite days, but never owned a R4 before.

Probably a dumb question, but is there any chance the forwarded NDS games could be recognized by PokeBank's Poké Transporter app? I assume it can't either because CIA's ae not recognized or because it can't properly forward the save data, but I am asking just in case before I buy a R4 Card.

Have the same r4i3d, except "2015" sign (probably older version than your's), and it works fine, maybe you have wrong ysmenu?

Well I'm afraid that R4i-SDHC RTS 3DS is indeed not compatible with TTMenu :\ It just white screens when booting the cia. Very odd I must admit since like I said when running YSMenu.nds it opens perfectly fine.



(Ignore music - Had to use YT audio swap since I accidentally had school stuff playing in the background)

Sorry to be off topic but what was that Facebook app?

We should ask to GW/Supercard team to add forwarder support natively on their cards.

Well... I tried...
Now my 3DS crashes whenever I plug my R4 in...
R.I.P
Actually, it does work. It just needs to be all the way in the card slot. It'll sometimes happen with my R4i-SDHC 3DS card.

The YSMenu in the packs are not wrong.

The app would have to be hacked to read the save files from the flashcard. Use a save editor instead.

So, good news. I re-did everything and now all the ones I've tried seem to launch "correctly" so far.

Bad news, they all launch into the main YSMenu screen.
Use the search button to look for YSMenu.ini in the card. Rename them, but leave the one on the root alone.

I'm not sure I understand correctly? There's only one YSMenu.ini and it's in the root. Every time I launch a different game the auto-boot section in YSMenu.ini changes which .nds it's using, but it seems to still go right to the default YSMenu.nds menu.

What does YSMenu.ini look like?

    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 patched ROM
