I saw alot of topic on where to buy a CycloDS, but, there are mostly people located in US, Canada or such. Some of the sites recommended, such as modchip no longer sells it anymore.
I know it's really long after that i wanted to buy one now, but im really new to this and really wanted to get one. I live in Singapore so i'll like to ask where i may get it at a good deal and which type of memory card should i get? MicroSD, kingston or some others? I'm not really sure what other cards there are available, so i hope someone can point it out to me.
Thanks.

You live in singapore? Awesome!
My dad lives there, so I've been there to visit him a few times.

If you get a SDHC for the CycloDS, it won't really matter which one you get. Even shitty SanDisk can run games like Castlevania: PoR fine. If you get a non-SDHC MicroSD, Kingston or any other brand card where the MicroSD says SD-C01G for 1GB MicroSD, and probably SD-C02G for 2GB. Lots of cheap brands buy kingston and rebrand them. However, only the japanese Kingston MicroSD are any good (those are the ones that say SD-C01G)

The second time I was in singapore, I found a store that sold japanese 1GB Kingston MicroSD in sim lim, but I can't remember what the name of it was.

For the flashcart, you could try eBay or any flashcart site that ships worldwide, I'm pretty sure at least some of the GBAtemp affiliates ship worldwide.

Ebay refuses to sell flashcarts because they lead to illegal action. So don't bother searching there. Amazon on the other does sell them, but I don't believe they carry Cyclods.

  • 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.
