oh yeah, you might wanna consider adding
wi-fi - Wireless fidelity. Refers to a range of connectivity technologies based on the IEEE 802.11 (perhaps this needs more research)

Rudolph's GBAXploader as a flashcart firmware? No def, since I don't use it.

EDIT: akaio.net doesn't list a def but it does say to use it if you're having problems running Slot2 games...

This is a guide aimed at people that DON'T know stuff, so the terms used need to be ones that normal people understand.

WiFi - Wirelessly over the internet.

Nitro: DS's codename. Thus original DS parts and accessories use an NTR-XXX ID.
???: DS Lite's codename. DS Lite parts/accessories are USG-XXX.
Twelve: DSi's codename. DSi parts/accessories are TWL-XXX.

Don't know about the DSi XL/LL.
Did a search (didn't know about Twelve) and I saw someone saying that USG represented the Japanese for "thin model"; Usugata or something (unsure on spelling). That could be it.

Wait, seriously? TWL means Twelve?
Huh. What's the XL's?

DSTTi works on the DSi.Made by the TT team.


Isn't that a clone? I'll add it if it can be confirmed an original by the TTDS Team.
it's not a clone.It's in their site(and it's confirmed,check out some news and you'll see)

GBAExploader(see spelling) is a GBA slot-2 loader made by Rudolph.M3 asked him to drop support for their slot-2 card,but some guy developed a patch to support them(the X files in filetrip).Rudolph dropped supporting it cuz of that.

How about something like, "Frequently Used NDS Terminology: From Universal Standards to Proprietary Jargon." ... ... but maybe shorter somehow.

  • 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!
  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
