Some years ago (1984) When Apple was created, Steve Jobs managed to be invited at the investigation & development quarters of Xerox there they was developing a device called "mouse" and a graphical interface OS. Xerox HQ dismissed the idea because "who will use a rat?" so Jobs "borrow" the idea and his development team for Macintosh created the "new" OS for their computers. Even the HQ of Apple hoisted a Jolly Roger.
The day of launch of Macintosh Bill Gates who teamed up with software development of Apple launched a "new" computer made on japan by NEC with a new mysterious OS called Windows 1.0 on it which coincidentally was a Graphical GUI and comes with a Little Device with wheels and buttons.
Later when Windows become the de-facto OS, Linux tried to simulate their GUI, and when MacOS wanted by a better OS, copied some Linux features, by last when Microsoft did buy Apple the new Windows GUIs started to be a ripoff of MacOS ones.
Wow 40 years summarized on 3 paragraphs!!!
If you want to know more about the early days of that battle you can see the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" or read the homonym book.

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:
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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
