There's a few things we are trying to fix and correct, and swapping the X and O is one of the things we are trying to do...
But right now we're mainly focusing on making sure the game works from beginning to end.
I see, that sounds great.
Thanks again.

hmm that is odd, as all my testers were able to play past ch4 without any issues... might i suggest you re-read my tutorial and make sure you did every step... if you downloaded an pre-built image, then i cannot vouch for the person who built it, as I can't tell if they did it properly, or applied my fix properly?

anyways, good luck.

found the problem, i switch the game mode to load mode 5 so i can overclocked it and it seems that make the barrier bug appeared, installed the game again from beginning and its work fine now, thnks again for the patched :)

Okay, no offense to OP, but using the sen-xanadu tools, I disassembled what changes were made and you kind of messed up, OP. You modified the t_text.tbl directly in a hex editor, I think, and it's impossible to decompile it to json using the tools. Additionally, you repacked text.pkg and left a backup file of t_text there, so your IPS patch actually contains copyrighted content.

Regardless, since I used strings to extract your changes, I'll describe the shop fix here:

The 'Purchase %d %s for', 'Sell %d %s for', and other related strings with format specifiers have different parameter orders in japanese: these format strings need the first two arguments swapped and a slight text restructure to accomodate (OP used 'Buy %s\nQty: %d') If the order isn't changed, it interprets the quantity of items as a string pointer, and well...let's just say that dereferences a very low memory address leading to a crash.

As for other unrelated issues: The japanese font differs fron the US font in metrics. You can use the US font instead. Unpack fonts.pkg, and rename font_us.itf to font.itf, then repack fonts.pkg. It works far better.

Thank you for pointing that out, a proper release was eventually made by another user, so I'll remove my patch.

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
