Is there a way I can get just YSM3 to auto-boot, instead of having to find the file, and to save myself some memory and to be able to play new games? :/
I beleive Retro's file contains the auto-boot file
http://filetrip.net/f23166-YSMenu-for-M3RealM3i-6-42.html

So I just put it on my M3i and it will autoboot? :DDD
I believe so.

I don't need any of the M3 system files, correct?

You only need the system folder he provides.

Now I'm getting a load error code.

How odd, you might need to talk to Retro about that since I am not sure how to make it boot

Hrmm, alright. Maybe I just need to format? What should I put the settings on the Panasonic Formatter?
I just use the Default setting myself

Yeah, all I had to do was format my card. xD
Well that's good.

Can you add to Quad-Boot Wood M3 ?
New Update + YSMenu + WooD M3 = Happy ^^
No I will not add Wood M3 to the Quad-Boot since that would make this just a replacement for M3 ninetails.

But if the next Sakura does lock out the alternate firmwares, I will replace it with Wood M3 if gaboros doesn't mind

Ugh, I've just had the misfortune to find out that I ended up buying the wrong card (M3i Zero GMP Z003) and now I can't use this nor use a lot of other alternate firmware...

I don't suppose there'll be any chance of the Quad Boot being patched at a later date to be usable on the GiMPy or have I wasted $30+?

Sadly even if I could fix it, I am not buying a GMP Z003 to test it out on, so you pretty much wasted 30$

Ugh...I don't think I could be any more annoyed if I tried. Any threads I could read or suggestions as to what to get next if I ever do get anything next?

There is this thread I would suggest checking if that's what you mean

I will be updating the Quad-Boot in the morning or later tonight. Right now I am sharing the network with 2 people playing MMO's and hate dealing with the complaints about the lag.
Sorry about that everyone.
Has just been updated!

Hi,

If there is a way to assist you, like testing a version with debug mode and return to you a dump or log file.... I am at your disposal with my GMP Z003 !!

Thanks for your great work.

If you know what you are doing, go ahead. I need as much as possible with this firmware.

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
