Wow i've been waiting for those icons for so long. Update is so major so they had to jump from v6.2.0 to 7.0.0. I'm scared to think what 10.0.0 will bring. Using Joy-Cons upside down to enhance the user’s experience?

Oh this was a last second reaction
Last month i bought a new switch and luckily the serial seems to be from an old console laying long time in the shop
Have read some thing about hacking, and got more and more confused (got really more weired since my wii), so i have luckily set the switch to not auto install and i m still on 6.2

Any advice how to start now,and best in a way which is hopefully online compatible
I received yesterday my jig and some kind of china dongle to inject payload

I m so happy that i did not updated,
Maybe someone can guide me

Is there a way to get the 7 update files removed from the switch, to prevent accidently updating
?

hmmmm probably i should update now to 6.2

dont know why everyone always wants to update to latest system version.
yeah its more stable then every other firmware version :P but are there any features you need?
my SysNAND is still on 5.1 and my Emunand at 6.1 and theres no reason to update....

nintendos stability updates cant be the reason ;) so please tell my why you want to get 7.0?!?
hmm propably because of the NSMB icons...

I feel your pain.
I did the same stupid thing with 6.2

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



No, these are just the encryption keys.
Now some genius must find a way to inject the payload.

With 6.2 the keys were also out within a day or so.

Folks,

I still can return my switch since I have updated it and try hunting down the unpatched switch or wait for the 7.0 to be cracked. In that case I may run out my 30 days return policy. Any advise?

It's up to you? If your 7.0 is unpatched, just wait since they apparently already cracked it so?

  • 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
