Hacking Mario galaxy hack possibilities

[madmanx22]

is that Prominent release supposed to fix the issue?

has anyone tried it?

frontpage of gbatemp says

"Note: Super_Mario_Galaxy_USA_Proper_ReadNFO_Wii-PROMiNENT is not real "

Does anybody else think that we're over thinking this? Maybe its not some super new copy protection from Nintendo. The error says 'unauthorized device' maybe the error was supposed to come up on all disks that were played outside of of the kiosks. I read somewhere that soembody was questioning Nintendo about the fact that galaxy was the full game, and that it leaked to the internet, and they said it was the first they heard of that. Its possible that everything is running how it was supposed to. Also the D2C thing might be explained because its running on a different chipset.

people tested the original disc, which worked, then copied the disc, and that copy did not work..

Yes, I understand that. I'm just saying that the original disks were flawed, causing them to work fine on normal systems, the copies do interact w/ the modchip, BUT they don't actually detect that the system has a mod chip, and instead thinks that it is a non-kiosk system.
Also, has the original been tested in a non modded system?

Yup

If the game checks dvd drive ram for changes, can we just spin up the disc then revert the changes we did to drive ram?

Good idea! The only problem is that the games would later likely do in-game checks to stop that trick too.

Thanks for the HEX code, Sonic you suck

 

[Selxis]

Someone test that patch on a Wiikey!

 

[eladriano]

I will as soon as my download is finished. If any one needs help finding this patch. [email protected]

 

[elmore]

Can anybody confirm this patch exists?

 

[potaco]

I'm not seeing that on usenet...what group?

looks like a super small weird patch to me. Has no icon and just opens a dos box without any errors. /me thinks it's a virus

 

[eladriano]

http://newzleech.com/ search for "smg"

I do agree it does look sketchy. I scanned it with Antivir but didn't come up with a virus. Did you run the file in the same directory as your iso? That might be why it gives you errors.

and another thing, Team DIVARIO? who the hell are they

 

[Sonicandtails]

It's fake damnit, open it in a hex editor.

 

[eladriano]
