Hacking R4 users are pretty much screwed out of GTA:CW

[Link5084]

Because since a firmware update is needed for this, there's absolutely no way to play it on R4 anymore now that the original team disbanded?

what makes you so positive that it will need a firmware update? odds are very good it will have a copy protection, but it still seems like you're just talking

also, there's this gem called ysmenu

then there's the cheat file

if it comes down to it, there's the 15 dollars shipped for any other still alive flashcard.

also, heaven forbid you actually buy the game and support the developers

It black screens after a menu...

Yeah good luck with that.

then there's the cheat file

... and that.

Which is just what the original post is suggesting...

It smells of Clone Wars and wasn't that fixed quickly... oh wait...

 

[Depravo]

Theoretically it could be fixed in a DSTT firmware update...

Theoretically this new firmware could have the fake-killer code removed...

Theoretically this 'hacked' firmware could be used to build YSMenu...


That's a lot of theories but we must give R4 users some straws to clutch at.

As the above poster said, Clone Wars has a similar problem and that hasn't been fixed yet BUT the Hello Kitty City game also had the same problem and that was fixed by using by using a donor save file. Maybe all is not lost yet?

"Only fixed by FW update"

...
*Looks at R4*
*Looks at FW (1.18)*
*Looks at FW date (Apr 2008)*

*Looks at PSP 3000*
*Looks at FW (OFW 4.2)*

*Kills self*

Donor save didn't help... the r4. However it did get it working on my old dslinker. An n-card clone.

well, at least the R4 guys are in jail.

WHAT IS THIS $15 shipped flashcart!?!?!? I want it now

 

[sco0504]

Considering most GTA games are well worth the money. Why don't you just buy it? I'm getting it on Monday at my local game shop that likes breaking street dates. I'm playing it on NO$GBA in the mean time.

I'm playing it on my r4.

What's the point?

We all know it works now with the patch.

Heh, still haven't had to replace my original R4 w/1.18. Everything I care about works... whether a patch is needed or not. Mostly not though.

 

[azianinvazn]

Hangs after the screen where it asks u if u want autosave or not.... i hav newest ysmenu

 

[sweenish]

clone wars is not nearly as high profile as gta, people

and since i'm hearing about a patch already fixing it, doesn't that make me right?

i'm also pretty positive a clean rom solution will eventually be available. and if not, you've still got the patch.

Yeah, same here.

R4 is the most popular so it makes it a target. i.e. if the game doesn't work, it's probably on the R4. But also, so many people have it that they'll come up with something.

Yup, exactly.

And that's what I call historical irony! I guess you'll think twice before trolling next time ^^
