build from source and use build/main.bin, or strip out the first part of cakes.dat. cant remember how much of it. think its 1200 bytes. or is that hex? idk
Either build it yourself and use main.bin under the build directory, or open Cakes.dat in a hex editor and copy 0x12000 onwards into a new file and save as arm9loaderhax.bin.
There's a CtrBoot build for a9lh (I let you search it), with that you can boot Cakes.
Thanks for the help! I forgot I could make my own payloads. One question though: Does Cake's Sysnand keep a9lh installed if updating sysnand through it? I don't think I will update sysnand even if it is safe to, but I'd just like to know.

If you have yours, please share. Thanks.
Latest build with arm9loaderhax.bin
It's got as-yet untested FIRM protection for o3DS 9.0.Thanks for the help! I forgot I could make my own payloads. One question though: Does Cake's Sysnand keep a9lh installed if updating sysnand through it? I don't think I will update sysnand even if it is safe to, but I'd just like to know.
Really ? I heard few posts ago that there were no FIRM-writes protection on Cakes... Do you have a source/commit for that ?

Oh, right, didn't checked in the last 15 hours ^^'
Thanks for pointing this out
EDIT : Installed it (build 136), now I'm waiting for someone crazy enough to test it x)
We could test using using SysUpdater and 10.3 files, but I don't want to have to downgrade again, since I already soft-bricked a N3DS once...

If I'm reading it right, it'll only work on O3DS, and perhaps only on 9.0 FIRM.Oh, right, didn't checked in the last 15 hours ^^'

Be careful.

emuNAND yes, sysNAND no.
It's got 136 in the filename.
The reason it only supports o3DS 9.0, is because that's the only firmware that's had the offset for the patch added so far.

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 -

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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@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)

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