You'll need cygwin most likely, as you have to build the MINI toolchain in order to compile MINI/sneek. On Linux/OSX nothing else is needed besides GCC. :3

Cygwin is not required. I started a setup guide in the Wiki, but I won't finish it here (at work). If nobody else edites it, I will have it finished at ~ 9 pm (GMT+1).

Well now. That looks pretty daunting. But hey, I've been meaning to learn how to compile things and now's as good a time as any to start.

EDIT: Nevermind cygwin, I'm going with DevKitPRO. lol

I've got it compiled, but what do I need to use boot2me.exe and elfins.exe with? The compiled files?

I imagine this part is similar to SNEEK v1, see below:

Source: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=187435
8. Using a command prompt I typed in "elfins.exe esmodule.elf 0000000e tmp.bin" followed by "elfins.exe fsmodule.elf tmp.bin 0000000e.app" and finally "boot2me.exe 0000000e.app boot2.bin"
9. Copied the newly made boot2.bin to the root of my SD card

0000000e.app comes from IOS60v6147 (downloaded and decrypted with NUSDv1.3 from wiibrew)

You'll also need to get the replacement ppcboot.elf that works with boot2.bin in SD root. I'm not sure where this comes from yet. Perhaps you can use the same one that came with SNEEK v1 if you happened to grab that when it was available.

EDIT: Or given the post above, maybe ppcboot.elf is not required. Perhaps it's a replacement armboot.bin that's needed. Anyone?

Alright. Looks like I'll be on my way to testing it in about 10 mins then, once my nand dump is complete from SFSD.

Edit: Are you sure a ppcboot isn't necessary..? I get the lovely drive LED blinking when I don't have one. I'll double check to make sure I have sneek's armboot instead of Twiizers'.

Edit2: Figured it out. You just keep the bootmii ppcboot. This is so cool!

Det1re will write some instructions throughout the day I'd wager. I could tell you how to do the part after compiling, though..

From various debates in the Configurable USB Loader thread, I recall that the GPL doesn't necessarily state that the source HAS to be distributed every time the executables are given, but rather upon the request of interested parties.

  • 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

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