try a different header. it's weird, but i got 2 headers with the same manufacturer, and one does not work with mario kart. just replacing it worked.

I'm getting animal crossing from my friend tomorrow, so do you think that my street fighter header just doesn't work while the animal crossing one might?

yeah, if it doesn't work even after you changed the manufacturer types on one header, try another header.

All right thanks I'll try this new header since I know for a fact I've changed the manufacturer bytes on the template and then reapplied the template on disk writer and finally re wrote the whole rom. Hopefully the Animal Crossing header will work!

by the way, did you hit the blue button when you rewrote the rom? i personally put the rom in question on the 2nd slot, meaning i have another game before the game that i'm trying to go online with, and then hit the blue button before putting it on diskwriter again.

by doing this, i know that the sky memory isn't on the rom in question.

Hmm I know I pressed the blue button to refresh the rom, but I only had Pokemon Y on the micro sd card so maybe it didn't refresh properly? I'll try the header with two games then. I've tried all the manufacturer ID's, but do I change the Id's to my Header's ID or the Rom's ID?

you don't change your rom's ID ever. just change the header and the manufacturer.
Yeah I meant that I just changed the manufacturers ID on the template file. Do I change the template file into the Roms manufacturer byte or the carts?

i normally try it into the rom's manufacturer first, but if it doesn't work, might as well give the other bytes a try.

Hey, i was having the same problem with my sky3ds because my private header's manufacturer ID didnt match the game I was playing, + I didnt rewrite the roms to my sd card after putting a patched template, so i figured out a way to do it and wrote it up here.

Let me know if this method works for you! So far its worked for me and one other person. This way you don't have to try multiple headers.

Haha I've actually tried your method but it didn't seem to work. I'll definitely try it again since I might have just messed up or something. I'll let you know if it works!

Oh no! lol sorry I really thought I figured it out. With the way i did it you can't use your old save files or backed up games if the Chip ID is changed, so maybe thats why? It has to be completely rewritten. Also you might want to try different rom dumps depending where you got it from. Anyways good luck!!

Yeah I always delete the rom completely, change template files, and then write the rom again. I think My private header just doesn't work well, but I'll be getting a new one soon and I'm sure your method will work fine with it.

Ok so Your method ended up working for me! I just hope the save file does not go corrupt again, because last time my save file went corrupt and it deleted all the header info. I think the reason it hasn't been working this whole time is that I didn't check the Verify box when writing the rom.... Thanks so much and fingers crossed I don't encounter the error!

    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.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
