It will take..
well.. the game still needs to be announced for europe..

It already has been.

 

[gacktgacktgackt]

I hope if I get up, that tehre is a patch. I did what I can do, I instaleld different apps on my computer only for that. And some people does nothing!
But, nah, people can't wait

That's it. Good Night everyone!
EDIT: elfsander: Good idea!

You didn't do anything but piss in the wind for the past 15 pages. Stop acting like you've done so good when for the past half of a day we've all been telling you what you "did" was completely pointless.

People use emulators, which have debuggers, so.. couldn't they make some sort of patch around these checks.

Well, ofcourse it takes some time to develop. But I think it's possible.

Those emulators with debuggers run slow as hell.

G'Night Dieforit..

Anyway, Like people have found, there is more than one lockup point in the game.. Squeenix has obviously wanted to protect this game.. Yet, hopefully something will come out, Just be patient people..

And I wonder how well The No$GBA debugger version will go..

I'm sorry but I can no longer bite my tongue, my head is going to do a reproduction of the news reader in Scanners if I don't.

I'd just like to congratulate you on your promotion, you are now Beve.

Sorry mods, I tried to resist but that post was like irresistable good sirs.

woah! WTF? They didn't even say good morning crono!

 

[Curley5959]

lolz..

IPS Driver Error.. DAMN IT..

Stupid Chrono Trigger..

It "works" on every cart, but some events in the game invoke the piracy checks, they being (in order): First portal, Then meeting frog, then prison, and I have heard some about the cathedral and the portal to the future also.

Well, it actually works perfectly. Which is technically bad. Because I can't see where its looping. LOL. If it also got stuck I could what is causing it to get stuck instantly. It does get stuck for me in the non debug version.

 

[BestIntrest]

Has anyone even confirmed it to be a piracy protection lock or is everyone simply going to continue to throw that crap around like they know what they're talking about?

This is something I've been telling for a long time now DieForIt!!

And besides, everybody else is telling the very same thing! from the start!

 

[Pendor]

There's something I want to make clear.

Noone considered the posibility that this might not be a protection per se, as everyone is saying.

Sometimes flashcarts just can't handle new stuff. That's why developers release firmware updates.

Someone PLEASE show me strong and decisive evidence that this "blocks" are indeed anti-piracy measures.

Yep, I know.

You can't.

It's good old fashioned copy protection and everyone who's saying it does actually know what they're talking about.

You can't.

If it was an incompatibility with a loader it wouldn't be exactly the same on every single cart. It's copy protection, hence the reason why it works on an emulator.

I can finally post after reading all the pages.

This is for DieForIt and people with working save file on emulators:

What you have is : Opened door on Emulator, Closed door on DS.
So, now, the first thing to do is trying to CLOSE the door on emulator, by changing some data in the rom (not the save).


Someone need to understand the protection(s) mechanism in order to patch it. so first thing to do is find where that mechanism reside.

I don't have No$GBA with debug option, so I can't do it myself, but I think this is the good way to find a solution.

Is it a coincidence that this happens in every kickass Square enix's game only?

Only, we can do is wait... Hup Yasu Hup

You've never played Chrono Trigger have you?

You can't open and close the door

You play an organ, the door opens, you continue on with the story. There's no way to close it again.

I'd say that the closed door proves that this is security and not just a flashcard being able to "handle it" issue.
