Gaming GTA: CTW - SocialClub Content

[xbmbmx]

Hi there,

I've been playing GTA: CTW recently and I have achieved 100% completion.

Now, I've collected the "Lions of Fo", the game tells me to sync to Social Club in order to unlock "Extra Content".

And this is where the problem comes in: Social Club syncing no longer works in 2019, as R* dropped support for GTA: CTW on the nintendo DS (and psp). The Android and iOS versions of the game have this content without the requirement to sync with to the (now non-existing) social club.

I want to complete the content you would unlock after syncing on my Nintendo DS version of the game. But I do not know a way to obtain this content.

I'm here to ask if anyone knows a way to unlock this content now that it is impossible to sync with the social club.


I've already had a few ideas.
First Idea: if anyone has this content on their DS card (meaning you have synced when you still could sync and unlocked this content), you could use a device like a save dongle to extract it and share it with other gamers.

Another possibility I've been thinking of is this: I have an old wifi pineapple laying around here in the house. This device generaly allows you to setup your own network with new rules such as DNS, hosts etc. If someone has a mirror/knows what happened when you synced to social club, maybe we could recreate this action with a new, virtual version of the old social club (hosted on a WiFi pineaple for example, using the DNS of the old one etc) tricking the game into thinking you actually synced your Social Club and giving you the content.


Anyways, If anyone knows a way to unlock this content or wants to help me set up a way to get this content, please let me know.

Thank you in advance,
XbmbmX

Just in case anyone is following this thread, I've found some new information on WFC emulating (this is required for 'fake' sync):

github barronwaffles dwc_network_server_emulator

[Can't upload links, google it]

GTA: CTW is not in their Compitabiliy list though. We'll need someone with the files on hand to be able to upload them to the DS game card.

So, you need a .sav to get the social club "sync"? I could check my old card if it's possible to get the save data for you.
Let me check.

I need more than just the .sav, but it's a good start!

Let me know if you have it.

Thnx a lot,

Sorry for the wait, here's the .sav for the game, extracted with twlsavetool.

No problem at all! I'll look into it and see if I'm able to get the socialclub content out of this.

Thank you very very much!

Update: @Patxinco , sadly enough I couldn't use your sav file to extract any information about the social club sync. Seems like I will need another kind of file.

I'm digging into that github repo I meantioned earlier now.

Allright, I think I got something here.

I followed the Guide in the github repo I mentioned earlier. (I set my Nintendo DNS to their servers.)

Since you cannot patch the .nds file on the cartridge itself, I just used my nintendo save dongle to extract my own save and than I used an .nds from the game on the internet to patch "WFCreplay" on it [google]

After this, I went in the game and entered the computer. After a while it said '''synced stats'' and It generated a friendcode.

Now i'll see if the game unlocks the content for me

I'll keep you updated.
