I see A9LH has become obsolete as well by now, I do have something to consider. I injected a friendcodeseed (or how that was called) from a friend to the emuNAND. I should clearly backup that before merging sysNAND and emuNAND?
this is all u need https://3ds.guide/

yes make a sd back up just in case also have a sysnand back up if anything goes wrong
It shows a A9LH to b9s but nothing else on the site, by the way I have some GBA cias installed to sysNAND, won't cause malfunctioning?

Are you sure you have A9LH? I didn't think rxTools was ever compatible with it. If you're sure you do, follow https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s (you won't lose anything) and if you have menuhax like I suspect you do, uninstall it by booting into sysNAND and changing the theme, then follow https://3ds.guide from the beginning.
scroll down to "get started", then click your system to navigate from there. it's important you read everything so you don't fuck anything up...
regarding the GBA cias, when you move emunand to sysnand later in the guide, this will delete those, so if you care about the save you might want to look at backing those up before the moving of emunand to sysnand.

Have you had any luck with this? The instructions are actually pretty simple:
1) Boot your system without the SD card inside.
2) Once your system is on the SysNand Home Menu screen, pop the SD card back in and change your home menu theme to anything you want besides what it's currently set to already.
3) Start the guide from the Soundhax Page. This is assuming your SysNand is already on 9.0-9.2 firmware.
4) Follow the guide to the very end, but when it prompts you to move your EmuNand to SysNand, make sure that you do it. You don't need to do this, in fact you can continue to keep EmuNand and SysNand separate, but with A9LH/B9S, SysNand can be updated and unbricked, so unless you have a good reason, it doesn't really matter anymore to keep them separate.
You can keep your emunand as it is.
A9HL and B9 still have support for emunand.
An emunand is just a "virtual 3DS" on your SD Card.
Use 3ds-multinand tool to make a backup of your emunand (just in case).
You should not restore your emunand to sysnand since you already modified the friendcodeseed, this could cause trouble later on.
If you really want to get rid of your emunand, just format the card.

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:
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?

@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 -
