By System Restore type, I meant like the System Restore kinda program on Windows. I think it reverts back to a certain point in time where everything was fully functional, of course it regularly saves the state of the game save.

Select a game from the 5 last loaded games/programs and press the start button, should bring up a - Save file restore menu.
OR
Select a game from your file menu and press start then Save Restore Menu.

Make sure you have started this game a few times beforehand.

Hi! Since this is the FAQ thread, I have a question that maybe someone would know the answer to!

Does homebrew have to remain in the root of the microSD card like in the previous (non-Sakura) firmware?

Thanks!
homebrews where never required to be in the root.
tough most homebrews need their additional data files to be in the root, because they can't locate those files by themselves.
thedice master i pm'd you. please assist me sir?

So far most of the homebrew I've tried booting either gave me a error and refer to the logbuff.txt file, or left me with 2 white screens. Probably this will be fixed in the later versions of the Sakura

Hmm...most homebrew works for just about everyone else. Are you sure you downloaded this version and NOT this version? The latter one was an earlier release and was buggy whenever you tried to load homebrew. This has been fixed in the new one.

What speaks for itself?

* The GUI is the best out of all flashcarts, the new firmware simply boasts amazing capabilities.
* One can open images/listen music/watch videos directly through the firmware browser - very fast speed loading.
* Amazing compatibility with homebrew and roms.
* Loads more reasons you can see in the first post...

I'm still finding that I can't run certain homebrew apps such as lmp-ng. I downloaded the latest one from the FAQ, after reading up on the fact that thedicemaster had fixed up homebrew issues, i got excited...it still doesnt work!

Re-read the FAQ:
QUOTEQ: I still can't run some/most homebrew. Help?
A: Try using Flashcard OS 2.1. Copy it to your MicroSD card, run it in Sakura, then try to open your homebrew in Flashcard OS. This has been reported to work for problematic homebrew (tip submitted by strata8).

Please read the FAQs in detail next time. The hacked version has a few problems.

Initially there were problems running homebrew with the unofficial US/EUR Sakura firmware, but thanks to thedicemaster, those problems have been resolved.

chaotic_geo, I've updated Paradise to 0.4, so next time it gets updated include the newer version (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2575)
I'll PM you if it gets updated again, or you can just notify me of an upcoming package update, if possible.

The homebrew apps built into M3Sakura, for example moonshell, imageviewer.

Updated with latest skin files.

    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!
  • 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.
