Hello everyone, I'm here to release my first "software" ever.

It's a fork of FBI by @Steveice10 that has a 3D banner created by me with help from @Apache Thunder!
It also uses the animal crossing banner audio because the drum roll was a tad jarring to me. :)

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Instead of forking it you could've pushed it to the real thing... Now we have another version floating around that'll probably confuse a few people out.
(Besides, FBI as CIA manager is bad anyways, I had so many weird problems with it...)
I am not Steveice. I can't just commit to his build. Also this has a few things I want... if you really have an issue with "another version" take that up with FTP-3DS, FTPD, DePony FTP, FTPDorf.

:P

This really isn't a [Release], its just a changed banner/music. Not like you edited the code or anything, I don't even think it could be called a fork.
Its just a reskin -_-
Except if you read the commits there is changed code *COUGH*

I apologize that I did not investigate further, but you really should've just talked to Steveice about this, would've been easier to have in one place.
And he will be updating his anyway since the memchunkhax2 came out as he has said...

We did actually! He gave me pointers and explained how his code works. Nice guy! He's working on a patch right now so it might not be the best idea to merge. ;)

Not to be too harsh, but it seems a bit egotistical and attention seeking to so blatantly shove half your name in the rebranding of this fork.

It makes it seem like you're only doing this to get your name out there.
Well I'm up to change it! What would you guys prefer? FBI3D? I'll do that if you guys want!

Or just send a pull request with the banner (which looks nicer than the current one) and see if steveice10 accepts it or not. That way it's in the main FBI repo and you get credited (provided you created the banner in the first place). I don't really want to argue about forking projects because that is a complex argument, it's a side effect of open-source software but I think it would be a smarter choice just to send a pull request
Talking to him now. Just didn't wanna spoil his future plans.

So no ones did it here, just blaming others, so i will do it :

Thanks man for your share, your banner seems look good (no installed yet). Don't listen negatives comments & thanks to contribute to the scene
Thanks man!

I should listen to them though...

I do like the icon, so, you did a fine job with that. But, I do agree with others that you should have just gave it to steveice10.

Personally, I won't be using it since it's not the official. :teach:

Oh I was hoping OctoFBI would install 8 cias at once.
Step 1) Put 8 cias in 1 folder
Step 2) Email Nintendo Support asking why your 3DS won't boot your CFW
Step 3) If they don't give a useful reply then call Nintendo Support with the same question
Step 4) Watch as how your CFW magically boots while calling
Step 5) Open OctoFBI
Step 6) Go in the folder of the CIAs
Step 7) Press X to install all CIAs in Folder
Step 8) Profit?

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
