US $46.50 when you actually select it

Most these stores will have pros and cores and the pro being cheaper of course.

I really am going to need help soldering this lmao

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

Are there any resellers who ship worldwide other than txswitch and sxflashcard ?

Aliexpress got to me in 3 days

Here it is! Ordered on 17th June and arrived on 25th AM in London, UK with standard shipping. I didn't have chance to practice soldering but I'll all on Saturday - wish me luck! Looks doable. Yes, it's small but not scary small.

Make sure you have a good way to magnify. The smd are way smaller then you think they are.

I'm hoping that a magnifying glass from my helping hands with my mobile phone zoomed into that might work.

If not maybe a dslr focused into the magnifying glass... I might try it today.

if you want to make an easy emunand.

create a folder called sxos
inside it create a folder called emunand
copy your nand back files inside the emunand folder

you should have the emunand option now on the menu when you reboot into it

yeah you create it on your actual card.

it also means if you ever need to transfer to a larger card you just copy folders over

are you using the v1 or v2 switch? v1 seems far easier to solder to.
Would you say they are as big as SMD on a LPDDR3 RAM? Or bigger?
I would say about the same size as the ones I circled on this picture. maybe a little smaller. hard to tell since i dont have my switch apart to check

Any crappy usb maginfier should do the trick nothing fancy really needed unless your doing it for extra cash or to cover your equipment costs

I have the v1 switch :)
Hekate runs fine when choosing the hekate payload from SX Loader. I only cant get Atmosphere to start.
I'll try patching the boot.dat now and report back to you guys...

// I get the BOOT.DAT? screen :/
Booting non-SXOS CFWs isn’t possible currently unfortunately.
Their chainloader intentionally wipes all SE keyslots and leaves some shit in a weird state.

    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.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
