I've kept up with the hacking scene but there are just things that I can't get to work. I know about pressing R when you turn it on brings up the M33 Recovery Menu, but that's about the furthest I can get. I click on Configuration and although I have "skip sony logo" and "hide corrupt icons" set to Enabled, it doesn't work. I tried running some SNES homebrew through methods that a YouTube instructional video had, but it came out all slow and buggy.

Any suggestions?

I can play PSP csos fine, which is mostly what I used for it anyways, so it's no big deal.

1st, you only need to post this once.

2nd, you need to place the homebrew in the proper folder. Some goes in the GAME folder, others in the GAME150 folder, some in the GAME371 folder. The 'hide corrupt icons' setting is working fine, it's just that your homebrew is in the wrong folder, so it's going to say that. If this setting were off, and you had your homebrew in the correct folder, you would notice the homebrew, and a corrupt icon underneath it (some emulators have two folders, one with a % in front, and one without, one of them generally shows up as corrupt, and this is what the setting hides).

I apologize, my internet has been fritzy lately and I didn't mean to post this topic twice. If you know how I can deleted the other way, tell me.

And I actually don't have any homebrew anymore. I mean, I have Cave Story, but that works with only the 5.00 m33-6. I don't have ANY other homebrew on my PSP at all, and it still shows Corrupted Data on the Saved Data screen (where you go to run things). One is 4Kb and the other is 16Kb. I can't figure out what it is!

  • 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

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
