I really didn't want to make a thread asking, but I've looked everywhere and exhausted basically every way of checking. I can't find anyone else online talking about this being a problem but I wonder if my Googling terms are just wrong, or it's just super-obvious and I'm being a pinhead.

Does Xenogears' Nortune gear battling just not work on POPS at all? The 'fighting game' style with the health bar and free movement and stuff, in the D-Block prison, I mean. I've tried nearly every version of POPs and different eboots, but it's always glitchy; I can't even see what's going on. Even tried activating infinite/max cheats just to get past it but I still lose (b/c the battling is unlike any other in the game so the cheats don't even count, I guess).

I'm basically at the point of just going through the trouble of moving the save to ePSXe, but I want to make absolute sure I'm not just messing something up before I do that.

Aaaaaand I find the solution less than a day after making the thread because OF COURSE. It was the cheats. I have the cheat that speeds text up activated, and it works great when I turn that off.

Either way thanks for replying @ceifadorx

  • 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!
