It's the same with every pack you have to trust it or not to trust it and install with another app I think dop-ios mod can do this from the HBC

It's confusing, the guide which contains this pack is here and it's very popular, so Í considering that will be ok, no ?

OMG, The witch hunt is back

huh? 1) this isn't a PACK, its a list of apps that will brick u, nowhere does it offer a download pack for all these dangerous apps

2) the guide doesn't contain this 'pack'

No, no.. You have a guide where you have to write an email and it send you the pack which go with the guide, ok !!!!

And in one of theses guides, you have a pack which contain a wad --- > IOS60-patched.wad

So my question, is it safe to use this wad ???

yes it is safe to install that wad, it is not safe to install IOS60 v6400 which is the stub IOS (unless you're NOT on 4.0 or 4.1, but just dont do it 2 be on the safe side anyways). It's easy to spot a stub IOS, they're only a fraction of the size of a typically IOS.

Quick question, im on 4.2 right now. I used Wan's when it just came out. Now when i got the new HBC when it first came out, i had to install a few things to prevent HBC from being upside down, as well as being able to keep my backups. I don't recall what i installed in terms of IOS 60. :\ If i were to eventually update to 4.3 or higher via a "safer updater" am i at risk of a brick ? If so, is there a way to check what ios60 i have and get rid of it if it will possibly brick ? Thank you.

best way to not install stub is to use dop-ios mod v9....best app ever...upgraded 2 wiis from 3.2 and 3.4 to 4.1 in no time... just have to make sure to have ios60 installed before installing system menu 4.1

even used it to install latest shop channel, you cant go wrong with that

i've used the wani's 4.0 updater a couple of times in the past month or so....and no problems going from 3.3 or 3.4...no bricks. so it just might only be the 4.1 updater thats no good

    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!
