Ordered mine from modchipstore.com yesterday. It shipped today and should arrive 3 days from now. All for the low low price of 51 US dollars. This will be my first DS flashing/homebrew/whatever product, and I'd like to thank you all for your input on this product, as well as the retailers that distribute it.

I also had my 1 gig micro card arrive today. About 25 dollars shipped through newegg.com. I haven't seen them mentioned very much around here, but they have excellent products at fantastic prices and I would recommend them highly for this sort of thing.

Man, everyone is buying one REAL fast. I also ordered mine already. Should come in 3-5 business days. I better not regret purchasing this. I'm afraid the next review of some slot-1 device will be a 9.5 or 10 ... and be $25 bucks or something.

I really hope it's possible to convert the saves ... because I can't imagine doing Mario Kart all over again.Â

You may want to take a look at the official R4DS Archive (save) converter tool (Click here). There is information about the tool, what it converts and why. Sounds like it will suit your needs.

Trimming roms is pretty awesome if it doesn't impact the game in any way. I just trimmed all mine and put em on my card for when my R4 arrives. I thought this was pretty crazy though:

0577 - Pokemon - Diamond (JP) = 128MBytes got trimmed to 58.5MB

  • 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!
