So i've been trying to set this up for a while, but every time I try launch CFW, after it says ''applying patch nosigchk on fs kip1 sect 0'', it suddenly just cuts to a black screen and never loads anything. It shouldn't be a sd corruption because reinx worked fine.
You use tin wildcard way?
If yes, try the normal way and report with results.

ohh, that must be the problem then! I do use mac! would doing it normally without wild card solve this?
If you have that specific problem (.files) it will. Because you explicitly say what to load.

The code with the wildcard, searches for all *.kip and *.kip1 so it also catches ".files.kip"

Check that your sd card reader is properly seated. Fatal errors 1, are disk errors on the low level.

Nothing wrong with my SD card. Used chkdsk. I am able to create folders and delete them on Windows. As I said, I was able to make a backup with version 2.3. Are there any risks with abackup made from the older 2.3 version?

You have to press where the connector is and checks its behavior. You can get a reference from crystal clear cases or disassembly photos

Could someone help me please. My rawnand.bin got corrupted after I tried moving it to the restore folder using my android phone. The sd card is formated exfat. I did a chkdsk repair on windows when I got to my pc and it said rawnand.bin is cross-linked on allocation unit 262536. Cross link resolved by copying. After that the nand backup seems like it's not corrupted but it's only 12.8gb. I can mount all the partitions with hackdiskmount but I'm unable to restore because the primary GPT as backup is bad. Is that nand backup dead or is there any way to fix it. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't use it. You can extract separate partitions, but now you'll never know what's really corrupted.

Make a new backup and keep it somewhere before attempting to do any restorations, especially now that you know it's corrupted.

I'll learn from this experience and I'll switch to fat32. I had a month old nand backup to go back to but I lost some precious save data :sad:. I tried restoring only the new user partition on the old working nand backup but the system only shows the nintendo logo at bootup and nothing more.

You can't restore an incompatible USER partition so easily.

Imo, don't bother. Just use checkpoint, or your favorite save manager, to backup and restore your save files

Good afternoon, I was trying to do the alteration procedure by HacDiskMount and it gave blue screen brick, I had made the back of my nand previously and joined the parts of rawnand.bin and put all together in the folder backup> restore but when trying to do restore hekate returns me these messages from the photos. my firmware is at 4.2.0, could someone help me, I'm desperate :(

You need to adhere to the folder structure.

if you have BOOT0/1 and rawnand.bin, you've put them in /backup/<eMMC S/N>/restore/
If you have only partitions and BOOT0/1 you've put them in /backup/<eMMC S/N>/restore/partitions/ and the BOOT0/1 to /backup/<eMMC S/N>/restore/

Where <eMMC S/N> is your eMMC serial number, as shows in the photos you took.

Error 4 is no file found and 5 is wrong folder (folder not found).

    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!
