Bear ...As far as I'm aware, it runs perfectly!<br /><br />Bear in mind: you need run custom firmware on a **NEW** 3ds which is uncannily easy to achieve. Original 3ds models don't support Nintendo's new emulator.<br /><br />I've been injecting a lot of romhacks and translations into 3ds. Only ExHiRoms (Star Ocean), ExLoRoms (Tales of Phantasia), Sa-1 chip games (Super Mario RPG, star fox 2, etc)... are not currently supported. They should be in the future as we discover the structure of Nintendo's container file.<br /><br /> <br /><br />If you're interested, don't hesitate to get in touch. I've made a couple tutorials and I'd be more than happy to help! <br />Arcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855813329264924072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734714938469985598.post-66776980477055551772016-04-04T20:21:19.476-05:002016-04-04T20:21:19.476-05:00Thanks! ^_^ Your kind comments mean a lot.

I doubt I'll ever touch FF7, though!<br /><br />If I could tackle something new, it would be a rebalance/modernization of Dragon Warrior II. Some folks are just starting to explore the workings of that game but for now it's not really doable at my skill level.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for the nice comments! ^_^Fauntleroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309965726729405128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734714938469985598.post-48688736229456438842016-04-04T20:19:27.658-05:002016-04-04T20:19:27.658-05:00Yeah, I noticed this too.

The only thing that I've noticed is that in the WOR if you go to owser's place in jidoor first instead of the cave near the veldt.

I don't find tediousness in the game -- which is bizarre for an RPG.<br /><br /><br />A lot could go wrong with a project like this, but I think you handled it extremely well and it turned out professionally.<br /><br />It's the best example of the power of romhacking, I think. <br /><br />Earlier this year I purchased the remake of ff6 for PC and I am dismayed to announce that it suffers from weird framerate issues, crashing and spontaneously deleting/corrupting savedata. It's a tragedy to me that my favourite RPG will be judged in this state by the current generation.<br /><br />But I'm grateful for all the work you've put into this. I really look forward to anything else you work on -- even if it is not necessarily a romhack.<br /><br />I anxiously await the FF7 Sephiroth>Jenova<Vincent love triangle hack!

I'm thinking of doing a playthrough of this hack with a friend sitting in for commentary so I've been doing some troubleshooting and such in preparation for it. In the beginning of the game when I use the hack the magiTEK armor commands for Wedge, Biggs, and Terra are a little glitchy. Wedge and Biggs only have "Heal Force, Ice Beam, Heal Force" (the second Heal Force only targets enemies for some reason) and a few of Terra's magiTEK armor commands only target allies. Were you aware of this glitch?<br /><br />Also I wanted to ask if you were planning to use the original spell names, such as Fira, Firaga, et cetera. Anywho, keep up the good work! I used to roleplay Leo, which is why I'm keenly interested in this project for my own playthrough series of the game. Should I wait for the 3.1 edition to come out by the way? Will it be done soon? Also I want to know, what made you decide to add in the plot details about Gestahl's line of succession? It was an interesting idea so I was curious.<br /><br />Ahh, sorry for all these questions. ^_^;;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734714938469985598.post-72343964412485836562015-08-09T13:57:52.272-05:002015-08-09T13:57:52.272-05:00Hey, Arcs!

I hope you'll come around to doing it, even though I get this is a huge task.<br /><br />What about a Playable Banon Edition of FFVI ? Isn't there any way to add Banon and Leo as permanent playable characters without removing any other cast member ? If there isn't, I'd suggest removing Gogo and Umaro.<br /><br />There are probably not enough tools to make this happen, but I'd also love a hack of FFII (preferably the GBA version) which lets you keep guest members permanently and choose which ones you want in your team when you want, like in FFIV Advance.<br /><br />And I have two ultimate dreams : a 16-bit version of Seiken Densetsu faithfull to the original (unlike the horrible Sword of Mana remake), I've noticed a lot of sprites of FFIV are basically the same as the ones in Seiken (Baigan = Julius, for example), I have no hacking skills but it seems possible to me with some effort. My other ultimate hack dream is a 16-bit version of FFIII, it should probably be possible using FFV as a base since both games share a similar class system.
