more information is needed do you have cfw? if so did you recently install it? were you using it when it stopped booting?. . . have you attempted to go to the website on the sticker so you can download the latest kernel?

I posted it earlier but i could post it again in a few if you want me to
i mean the front including the website on the sticker

although from the pictures you sent previously (now that you mention them) i have a question does the 2ds recognize it at all . . . what i mean is if you highlight a game then insert the flashcard will it move to the gamecard slot icon automatically? . . . im thinking no and if i am correct about that then the issue is the connection between the flashcard and the gamecard slot and the fix is to cut a playing card and put it in the flashcard behind the contacts

I think it is that because it doesnt go to the gameslot automatically. Can i ask what is the thing that you put between the contacts of the gameslot? Maybe i will give that a shot and hopefully it work

that picture is of a bus pass (in Russian maybe German) although i personally used a pokemon card (a base set charizard) so just about any playing card you want should work

  • 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!
