I am not sure which System Update I am on for the Switch, but I know it is the one that enabled mSD support. Now that 2.1.0 is out, is it safe to update and not miss out on potential future hacks? I am able to still launch games, but each time it nags me to update system. Thoughts on this appreciated :)

What hacks? Is been only a month of release. Listen, you gonna miss out on more than hacks, upgrades the system is missing that updates will add. So you want them, you gonna have to update. So far 2.1.0 supposed to fix the web browser exploit but it could potentially fix other issues people have with the system, so is up to you. Other wise you can be one of those people who buy two systems, and save one for hacks while play the other for legit.

When updates come and start adding who knows what, and if you want it you gonna have to make the choice. Though many people do try to get exploits for the most recent version of things (Wii u, 3ds, wii, psp,) is just a matter of how much people willing to do for it. So relying on others isn't the best option when it comes to exploits. Don't spend $300 for game console and not play it or cripple is usefulness by waiting for exploits that has no set future date. :teach:

  • 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!
