You may have a problem because there was a recent courtcase in the UK which Nintendo won. see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/nint...ed-illegal.html While that article only mentions the R4, some use R4 to refer to flashcarts in general rather than the original R4 itself. Hence why there are so many R4i xxx carts which have little to do with the original R4.

7DayShop for example used to sell them, but have stopped selling all flashcarts since the courtcase. Another popular retailer was the hangar.org.uk, likewise they too have stopped selling them.

Another retailer for example http://www.ds-memory.net/ who have shut down since.

even http://www.r4i.co.uk appear to have shut down. They were the biggest as they were always going voucher codes, despite have some poor customer feedback. I wouldn't be surprised if they shutdown their site without fulling all the orders they had taken.

You could purchase from ShopTemp but will take more than a week (2 normally) to arrive unless you select express shipping which is expensive.

()()(BLOCKOUT)()() sells clones and real carts, so make sure to pick the real deal. Reals are 2 bucks cheaper then ShopTemp, and ship from Hong Kong. Check them out.
Edit: Do not work for them and not an advert, but it changed it to ShopTemp. Just search "AceKard2i PA".

    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
