So I tried alot of things past 2 days.
I thought maybe xenophobias patch file I got from frozen roms might have to be renamed? Idk
The .bat file made me a "patched" game, but I never got off the boat.

I got the latest USERCHEAT.dat and activated the codes,but neither one gets me off the boat.
I tried both Backup Enabler/Game fix code (version 1) and (version 2)

I also been searching around google and such forums and found a "patched european version", but It didnt get me off the darn boat either,haha

Am I doing something wrong or something?

Oh, and by the way...to get off the boat all you gotta do is talk to the captain right? then walk out and the boat will dock?

Thanks alot!

Thanks Rod.
I got it to work now with the cheat codes on. I think all I had to do was talk to everyone?

Thanks to DeadLocked who posted this:
"People who are still stuck, make sure you don't miss a single person, talk to everyone before you complain that you still can't leave the ship (also smash all the barrels for items e.c.t)"

I broke a few barrels here and there too. Hopefully it won't crash in this "cave" part I keep hearing about.

Guess you can close this thread!

  • 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!
