I am making some super XCI's for my backups. Everything is working PERFECTLY except for 2 that when updated with everything exceed 32gb. They just dont mount on SXOS and give the mounting error.

Is this because original carts aren't bigger than 32gb? Is there anyway to mount an XCI that is bigger than 32gb on SXos?

Thanks!

You have to install the NSP update and then run the smaller XCI. Then when you launch the XCI it is smart enough to merge the 2 at run time so the games run properly.

Yeah I get all that and I can get it to work by installing the NSP and mount the trimmed XCI, I just want to create a single XCI with EVERYTHING on there. Currently the game and all its updates (and yes the base XCI has already been trimmed) comes out at 33GB... So I have a 33gb XCI that wont mount.

I am assuming that even though SXOS can mount XCI's it cant mount XCI's over 32GB?

A user answered before, the switch itself cannot handle more than 32gb on a cart, because they do not exist atm

Gotcha. Looks like it will be an NSP convert for me. Just wondering if its anything SXos could patch at a later date even if the console doesnt support it?

I tried XCI Trimmer on Mortal Kombat 11 base + Aftermath + Update/DLC which is like 32 gb, it says "The XCI file size alread correponds to the actual data size" So I assume that means it can't be trimmed?

It sucks because the base game is only like 6 gb the update is 25, and you can't just install base game and make update an XCI that doesn't work. So you have to eat 25 gb on your sd card for it to work.

The difference is that Witcher 3, the update is smaller than the base game, MK11 on the opposite is 25gb only for the update...

    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.
