OK first of all I shall start by saying I have hunted high and low on Google and here to try and find a solution to my problem but I've had no luck. I can run Omega Ruby on my Sky3DS but as soon as I challenge Roxanne it cuts out to black and gives me an error screen. I assume I've put it on my Sky3DS correctly otherwise it wouldn't run at all. I've tried 2 different roms of Omega Ruby so far and they both had the same problem. Every other game works perfectly fine, haven't run into any problems so far. So what the shit is wrong with it?

Whenever you have problems like this, be sure to post the region of the ROM and its CRC, otherwise people won't be able to verify that you have the proper dump. In this case it would also be worth to mention what kind of an SD card you're using and whether or not you're using the NO EEPROM patch (then again, ORAS is CARD-2, so it's NO EEPROM to begin with, I think).

Ah excuse me, I forgot about that stuff. It's an EU rom I'm not sure what CRC is? SD card is a Sandisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 and it's NO EEPROM.

CRC is a hash used for verifying files. The quickest way to check the file's CRC without downloading any extra utilities or plugins would be to use WinRAR, it has a tab just for CRC32 for files within archives. It would be nice if you posted that value.

have you confirmed your SD card is genuine using h2testw or other programs designed to verify them, also did you trim the game or anything before copying it to the SD,with gateway card2 games need to remain untrimmed or they won't work properly



PS i don't own a sky3ds so these are just general tips :)

OK the CRC is 0xB3FBDF14
I used the Sky3DSTool to change the template file that's it. And yes the SDCard is real.

Sorry for the double post but I fixed it. Turns out I wasn't supposed to use the Sky3DSTool, I used a different backup rom that I didn't use the tool on and now it works perfectly. Thanks for all the help guys ^^

    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
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
