possibly and it may be a problem with the release. its definitely a PAL copy disguised as NTSC as it has multiple languages on it.
American releases can be multi-language, too, as seen in Spirit Tracks. Spanish language is added for Brazil and French for Canada.

Brazil speaks portuguese

That guy, probably thinks Portugal to be a mexican state...

I like to throw a sentence in here:

Pics or it didn't happen

Thanks for all the people that shed some light on this and share their findings, but I would love to see a screenshot of these things (HEX, Scrubber, Gecko, dunno...just something), if possible

But, if this is really true, guess I'll switch to SNEEK, if the upcoming rev is better...basicly the game should work there, right? And Nintendo will probably focus on the cIOS for a long time...

I got the game working properly for, I dont know, longer than an hour without crashes and I dont know it is because my cios rev 9 or the usb loader old version but it works properly so I dont know if it really needs a patch because the game is fine just there is something weird with the game.

I have been playing around 30 minutes without any crash so far, using an old version of usb loader gx rev 713, with ios 249 rev 9.

Before this one I tried wiiflow and I got black screen at the begining and uloader with cios 223 and I got a crash in the begining scene of the game.

So I dont know but it doesnt seem to be a protection but something weird with the game because at least with one loader and with chips it seem to be fine.

this seems important... quoting for the new page

I just finished the first boss enemy (the guardian) and no crashes and I have been saving frecuently without problems.

it does too need a patch because not everyone will want to downgrade to rev9 whenever they want to play this game.

Has anyone tried to run this game through SNEEK+DI?

Soon as I obtain a copy of it I will try to run it that way. I'll post back when I finish testing.

it wont run in sneek in its current state. their check for ios249 happens to accidentally make sneek not load it. the fix is known and if youre nice, crediar might commit it to the svn in a few days.

Thanks for your reply. I'm a good boy so I'll wait...not very interested in this game anyway but I have a family member who is. She'll probably end up buying it as soon as it is in stock locally.

My main interest in this game was the new anti-piracy checks and it seems like someone smarter than myself has already figured all that out.

Confirmed not working with the old version of gx and rev 9 installed.

thought i'd test myself, had to turn on 002 error, but actually it seems to be working fine. I can now go into the home menu without the freeze. haven't checked a chest yet

edit: Well it seems to have worked, just got the first chest behind the water fall without the freeze

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
    +3
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
