You don't have to delete the vote channel. Just go into the vote channel and find the format data option. It'll erase all the data in your vote channel. Then it'll fix itself.

It'll be the same thing as when you install a modchip on some systems - the voting data gets funkified for some reason. Nothing you can do but reformat your voters from within the voting channel. Sucks hey?

*checks*

Nope, everything looks fine here. You sure that wasn't from removing the battery? Maybe your battery fell of the slot in there, I heard someone here say that happened to them.

I had an idea (after I had already taken out the battery, etc). For anyone that's going to chip their Wii, why not try to change the calender back to launch day. Then load the vote channel, just in case it needs to associate with that day or something. Exit, chip wii, and see what happens.

What I'm thinkin is that, leaving the vote channel on launch day before taking the battery out, won't mess up the days when you put it back in, when the time is reset to launch day.

I already started a new save, and don't feel like opening up my Wii to try it. But it's worth a shot.

It's an interesting theory at least. I'll try that if I remember it the next time I open my Wii to flash a newer Chiip-Version (still 0.5 beta.

  • 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!
