C++, Python scripts and more
sounds like a jack of all trades/intro course, like @Shikkichu said. typically those kinds of courses are just basic concepts which alot of languages share, not too much depth. i'm 90% sure that you need C/C++ to do homebrew/hacking (at least this kind), right?

jack of all trades-like knowledge helps early on when learning how programming works, but it doesn't really concentrate on much beyond the basics.

well thats what people have been saying on skype you need to understand the C's to be able to compile stuff and form stuff like some type of hack for example. NTR Plugins

Well finding exploits, kernel or otherwise, typically requires knowledge of assembly language programming which is quite a bit more advanced than the stuff you are doing. If you want to get into 3DS programming I would suggest starting with either writing regular usermode homebrew apps/games or helping to improve existing ones.

Doesn't even know how to program: Check

Keep dreaming, kid. :P
Hate to be that guy, but maybe have him learn on his own that he'll need a pretty good understanding of ARM and low level programming in general in order to find and implement exploits.

That being said, there is no need to put the guy down; everyone starts somewhere.

Yeah. ctrulib is a great lib for starting off. Note that even after learning C, you'll might want to learn some assembly. The 3DS is an option, but maybe something simpler and unprotected like the Raspberry Pi would be a nice option. Afaik the bootloader is incredibly straight forward and has no security. Schematics for the hardware and references for the CPU are out there too as a PDF, just google it.

You could probably compile C code directly to the right CPU architecture knowing gcc's flexibility too, though don't quote me.

What needs to be changed? I'm busy with school during the day so I can't be on very often.
She wants an update kind of like how my thread was laid out, but got closed cause this is the "main thread" xD
So many questions can be ansered i.e. the constant "I want ntr" etc. "Is it safe" because people don't wanna run through 15+ pages to find an answer xmx

The problem is, that kind of information tends to change so frequently that it becomes hard to keep up with. I'm already a little out of touch with the 3DS hacking scene as it is.

Funny, it just that i cannot laugh because my 3ds is basiclly sh*t now, and since Gateway is still usable,still can run CIA file and such, im not planning on switching to anything else soon.

You're asking if a patch for GW is available? Not yet that I know of. Gateway uses closed source information, so it'll take time to update support for 11.3 if they ever do it. It's similar to the situation of RxTools, except that iteration of RxTools is now officially dead. It uses the same principles GW does and that was patched by Nintendo in 11.3 so for now you're out of luck. My suggestion, is you make a Nand dump and install Luma+A9LH on your 3DS instead. Then you can turn around and sell your GW chip as an antique online (I'm kidding of course, but someone may want a GW chip for one reason or another I suppose)

    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!
