Hi. I'm trying to figure out why I can't access some of my favorite websites anymore, particularly GameFAQs.com.

The last time I was able to access these sites (which I think are all owned by CNET) was New Year's Eve. Since then, whenever I try to visit one of them, I get an error like "the connection was interrupted" or "cannot find servers." However, all other sites are working fine...

Is this a regional server issue or what? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks for any help.

I tried using those opendns settings on my pc (which is running xp), but it didn't work.

Could it be a local server issue or a problem with my ISP?

You may have been IP banned if you have been banned from gamefaqs prior to this but a browser and/or DNS problem is not out of the question.

Probably issue with your ISP. Call them up. I was unable to connect to wordpress.com for about a week and called the ISP and they said they were having issues on their side.

    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!
