what if something that happened a few days ago happen again, the app kept crashing thanks to a korean title that wasn't on the cache, will the app be doomed?

There's a chance of that, or the developer for the titlekey site may see the reports and change something on his end (He's actually awesome for keeping tabs on who's using his work)

if they want it down then he should say to them to take off that Pokemon mobile game first since thats taking and using all sound effects/music/and models.

Let's be honest - freeShop NEVER was what it claims to be - "an open-source eShop clone". It always had only one single use - piracy.
But,but,some people want to "RE download" their own games using their own title keys.
Some people,maybe the 0.1% of them.

It doesn't claim to be anything it's not or vice versa.
It's an eShop clone.
It's open source.
It is not an eShop clone. eShop allows you to download content you own or purchase more. freeShop doesn't. It allows you to download any content provided someone bought it and added it to the keys.
Claiming it is an open-source eShop clone is attempting to sugarcoat the truth of this being purely a piracy tool.

Yea but why would he get in trouble for it. He wasn't even the one that provided the keys.

First, it did use the eShop logo as a base. Second, once they used that to takedown the project, given the very nature of this utility.... It is virtually impossible to put it back up, seeing as it serves only piracy purposes. Hell, its very name states it.
It's hard to defend such a project that has already been taken down.

    as to you

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • 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!
  • 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

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