hello, I was finally able to boot the chip, check the soldering and that's it, but now I wanted to test OFW, check that the connection between the points and the pico fly have 47ohm resistance. I don't know what else I could check pkg1 decryption failed bek is missing
help i'm really desperate :(

I love the same thing also happened to me with Toshiba nand I installed the rp2040 resistors with the unlocking and it gave me that same error without counting that it does not let you extract the keys and when it happened to the original console it gave this error
Let me know if you figure it out. I'm trying to rebuild my boot0/1 and nand once I have time away from work

Try this "copy" both firmware & Unlock UF2 files at once. You must copy one file, reconnect rp2040, then flash another fil

You need to run the unlock.bin but backup boot0 first
Hello, thanks for answering, I did what they told me but it didn't work, it doesn't enter OFW, it doesn't let me dump the profinfo with lockpick either, although I was able to make a backup of the nand but it's probably also damaged, I don't know what else to do, the Console was working perfectly before installing the chip, I probably damaged the OFW, I don't know how to recover it, I'm going to cry

Copy boot0 and boot1 into the restore folder then restore it in hekate. I’ve done it and it worked with the same issue

Are we shit out of luck if the backup was made after the unlock was done?

Backup needs to be done first as the 2.5 corrupts the boot 0 when unlock is used. Unlock should technically be done via usb recommended. Software is last resort with a backup of Boot0

Hello! Don't tell me when the new firmware version 2.6 will be released?
Hopefully soon since this dang encryption....
Can't rush perfection though
Post automatically merged:

BTW does anyone know a way to clear the rp2040 entirely including the persistent unlock? I read what people were saying about corrupting boot0 after unlock and didn't want to poison my backups. Though I've already flashed the 2.5+unlock and will eventually flash 2.6 in the future.

Can't post links yet, search google for "factory reset kb2040"
The nuke UF2 should erase the whole chip but I don't know if this reverts the unlock.

    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
