If the EU Release still has the dreaded 'Moogle' screen, Then I'll consider buying the (reported working) Edge card. Since that is the next Flashcart I have access too locally (Bought my DSTT in the UK).

But... if Squarenix really developed such an anti-piracy system aiming particularly at cartdridges that patch the roms, it means that some of their staff studied how the most famous cartdridge such as R4 works.... they're probably also reading this same thread as guests (and laugh maniacally),
If so, wouldn't they then consider this line of thought?
1) the pirates will first analyze the problem and discover how the new anti-pyracy system works
2) while waiting for the R4 or M3 teams to write a fix they will definitely try to overwrite the english dialogues and/or voices into a japanese version of the game but that would obviously not work due to some critycal differences in the two versions ( the alphabet for example)
3) they will definitely try (if haven't still found another workaround, in which I believe SE is hoping a lot it won't happen too soon) to overwrite the english dialogues into a EU rom, as it is much more similar to the USA release.
so, the next statement would be: why shouldn't they put the same protection onto the EU versions?
I'm not sure if I can say this but I believe a good amount of roms go to the public thanks to european sites.
rest0re said:edit: i mean like some of you have some sort of clue. and guess what, i think sceners won't show up now to help you to crack this
protection. guess why? you removed intros in front of games and put the games into fserves. lol. so we will be stuck with this funny
moogle screen until some finds out what protection is about.
ShadowStitch said:Haha, well don't get all sour grapes on MY account. I haven't downloaded it, and I'm not going to -- I could care less about the game, retail or otherwise. I was merely remarking that I think it's a waste of time and money to introduce such measures into a game, when removing it is simply an exercise for your average release group. So don't worry your pretty little head; It'll be ripped out of the game sooner or later, by someone who enjoys the challenge -- it's only a matter of time.
Me, I'll be replaying Front Mission. Again. While waiting for Disgaea DS.

Migs said:A friend of mine is using the G6 Real using firmware V2.8. It worked from the Start, already clocked in an hour of gameplay with no problems.
When he used Firmware V3.1, it corrupted the contents of his card and took a while to recover his lost data, which he got all back.

And by the time the DS dies off, all that copy protection will have been for nothing, because it will all have been cracked.
I think something that often get forgotten to mention in these threads are what settings were used. I usually just play the game with cheats off, soft reset off, and trim off and generally never have a problem. So when someone says "DSTT doesn't work" they should really say what setting they used.Social0 said:Migs said:A friend of mine is using the G6 Real using firmware V2.8.

I used firmware 2.8 and got the screen after 20 mins

This whole "Anti-piracy tricks encouraging the pirates" thing reminds me of the brief PSX Anti-Modchip debacle...which was hilarious and backfired beautifully, because it was designed to stop people from playing games on their modchipped PSX, but some coders just removed the modchip detection from the games... So the delicious irony was that if you had a modchip you COULDN'T play the real game. You HAD to get a cracked copy in order to play it. They PUNISHED people for buying the real game.
Then the chip coders made "Stealth" modchips. Lol.
