So I've been playing Pokemon Y lately on a retail cart running 7.1 emuNAND. However all of this bricking scare has me reevaluating my options, if I play on a "brickable" firmware am I still in danger if I only use classic mode for retail carts? If not what can I do now that won't risk or at least minimize my chance of bricking while still being able to play Pokemon on 7.1?
I'd be on a 2.0b2 equilvalent firmware because to run Pokemon online I need 7.1 emuNAND, which seems to be unsupported by 3.0
Dude, get the fuck off of the 3.1-3.3 firmwares NOW! Take your console, hold the power button on it until it's completely off, and downgrade to 3.0. 3.0 still supports Pokemon in classic mode.
Let's hope the damage isn't already done...
The first thing you should have said was what card you have. If you have a clone get off of anything that might contain the brick code ASAP! Maybe there needs to be a PSA or something to make things clear for those who own clone cards.
Lol yeah I got rid of them not long after the bricking shit popped up, I should have mentioned I'm not using them right now. It's just that my Pokemon isn't 1.2 so no online. Guess I'll just have to be patient for e-shop again.
Use GW 2.0b2 for your Pokemon Cart. Just leave it in sleep mode the whole time, that way (I think) you should be fine as long as it first boots up. That's what I've been doing with my GW cart ever since this whole fiasco has happened.
Hmmm could I be the victim of attempted sabotage? ;P
Or are these legit options lol?
Or are these legit options lol?
could the Gateway kill clock run on some unalterable internal clock? Or is that not possible
I have no idea and I am not in any way encouraging anyone to test anything.
But of there are guys willing to risk their 170USD system, then they can go ahead.
Yeah, it's risky. The main reason I did it was I wanted to finish playing my retail eshop 3D Land. The OP wanted a way to minimize the chance of bricking, I gave him an option. To be honest I think it's the best solution if he wants to play his game, because the way the bricking code works is on startup a number seed is generated based on the current date and time (NOT JUST THE DATE). Once you get that the risk should be minimized in theory, though of course there's still a chance of bricking.
I feel like it's a better idea to just use an older firmware for the time being, as I wouldn't want to risk a $130-$175 for a couple hours of play time before my system dies, no matter what the chance.

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:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

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:
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 -
