Last night, I changed one of the settings in neogamma to 'auto-detect' and spyro worked for about 20mins, then came up with an error and to check the wii manual. I then tried Monster Hunter trii (was trying frantically to get that game to work last year) and managed to play that for a while but eventually came up with the same error. I then tried it again, and everytime I try to leave the village to go into the forst the same error comes up regardless of how long your playing it.

Should I still try to install cIOS249?

In the menu after I type 'beta' - for installation via modmii- is it d2x-v7-final I download?

Right, took some initiative and went for it, but no clue what to do at the next menu...
*Edit* downloaded cios249-d2x-v7-final [56] but it is already on my sd card....

Done, loaded MH3 and again, plaed for half an hour - then went to do first quest and as I was leaving village it came up that the disc could not be read.
On spyro I get to the same point in a cutscene - then it starts stammering and comes up the disc could not be read.
Noticed that after I put discs in the wii, it makes a funny low skipping sound. Never heard it do that with any of my other games.
At the bottem of neogamma it says - Neogamma R9 b54, d2x56v7final (249) - I pressume this is what we wanted to see??

For all we know, your wii's dvd drive may be going, right now it seems to be having a problem reading data off discs, is this correct?
Besides, playing off usb is far superior than discs, only 3X speed with burns, compared to 6X or higher from usb, so data is read without problems.

    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
