Hi,

i am trying to install hermes IOS222 (IOS36 as default) and IOS223 (IOS37 merge IOS36).
IOS222 installs with no problem, but everytime i want to install IOS223 (IOS37 merge IOS36) it keeps giving me an error:
"failed to allocate buffer....."

My internet connection is working (USB LAN).
is there any way to install IOS223 (IOS37 merge IOS36) offline?
thank you.

I once tried the installed with the offline files for IOS36 and IOS37 on sd card. IOS222 installation went fine, for IOS223 with IOS37 dip, it wanted internet. I guess it's just not properly written, or i have a typo in my file names.

Here it is, i've made an offline version of Hermes-Installer, includes WADs:

[EDIT V2: Fixed missing IOS 202/222 files, now it works with all versions, please redownload the package!]
< *removed - cios wads are not allowed* >

Unpack the files to the root of your SD. Use Offline-Installer-DOL from HBC or install included WADs with Wad-Manager (not included).

For DOL-Installation, use the following settings:

- IOS 202 --> using IOS 36
- IOS 222 --> using IOS 36
- IOS 223 --> using IOS 37 merged with IOS 36

Plug in the HDD in the USB-Port 0 (bottom) and other USB devices in USB-Port 1 (before power on the wii).
Use USB Loader CFG 31a or later with ios=223-mload setting. Microphones, USB LAN, ... are now working! No HD spin down problems anymore!

Try it and report ...

cIOS wads are included in the package but are against the rules, so I have removed them.

Please don't reupload them, thanks.

    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.

    never had that i don't think
