Hacking [Super] Rugby League 3 Wii - Problems

[Fusion]

{Super) Rugby League 3 (depending where your from for your title) seems to have problems from most loaders i tryed, the game rips & plays fine but you only play instant play like its some demo as everything else is locked including the options screen. Any one else have this game yet & also have this problem when ripped to usb?

just read on the sidhe forums that this is an anti piracy thing, if the game detects a modchip it only give you the demo mode so to speak... we need a patch i guess can anyone help us?????

I remember the PS2 version of Rugby League 2 detected if you had a modchip as well, dunno if it was ever cracked. I assume it was eventually.
I remember I had to look up a way of disabling my PS2's modchip in order for my original disc of RL2 to even load properly.

EDIT - Thread at sidhe forums where Admin confirms modchip/softmod blocks the game from functioning - http://forums.sidheinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=39043

Just tested in my house mates wii, works fine no chip just softmod... need to disable chip or find a workaround somehow...

Hey

Apparently my brother in laws Wii doesn't work with this game, just goes into the demo/quick play mod only, but his wii is completely softmodded (i did it my self), it definitely does not have a mod chip.

The softmod is a little old now though, its running Cioscorp 3.6 w/ Cios rev14 (pretty much followed the "mod any 4.2 firmware wii" guide thats on here when it was installing the Cios r14, and then Cioscorp 3.6 also for the disc channel stuff).

I wonder, since this game works with a softmod? coud it possibly be Cioscorp thats causing the game to think its got a mod chip. Im gonna get a hold of the wii+game on friday (just researching whats going on atm), i'll probably remove Cioscorp and update everything else unless anyones got any other ideas? (anyone tried playing this with Cioscorp?)

hey Fusion

is your wii got a chip in it too or just softmod and if so what exactly?

Yes we know the game works but did you see if all the modes are active, thats the problem where talking about. As i played a few modes of instant play & unlocked new jerseys but cant see them & stuff since i cant go into the other mode to see/pick the option for it.

I also have a softmod, tryed the latest revision of all loaders & still the same thing with "demo mode" mine game was also ripped from an original disc, but cant try to run it via disc as it needs an update for me. My wii is softmod but how & with what i dont remember it was sometime last year i done it. It ripped to usb about 2.36GB in size.

hmmmm one for the hackers to try fix mate or we are stuffed

 

[Fusion]

Maybe try neogamma's rebooter funtion & burning the iso to dvd will help as the funtion of rebooter is like a dvd drive emulator to inject the protocalls to the drive when asked for kinda like the early stages of psp hacks with umdemulator loader.

Also are all you guys the same size iso as mine?

 

[nickwpearce]

hmm retail copy here and a backup i made myself both work in my mates softmodded wii, neither work in my softmodded/modchipped (wiikey v1) wii

strange, with rebooter i dont know how to get that to work... could you explain??

 

[davery22]

You know the strange thing, There's people claiming they've even removed their modchips and still the game won't work.

This sucks so bad. Furthermore, it may never be cracked as the only people who'll want this game are aussies/NZ/UK and maybe a few euro's.

Let's hope someone can work it out!!!

 

[nickwpearce]

that is weird, my brothers chip does not work at all and the game doesnt work for him either, his chip hasnt worked for about 2 years... he just uses soft mod now and still wont work...

hopefully someone will crack it, but yeah its not a big worldwide game... still someone might like the challenge???

 

[davery22]

Yeah hopefully. However the last game Rugby League 2 had the same kind of thing and noone ever broke it.

 

[TheHavs]

I'm actually looking forward to the new RL game. Has there been a scene release for it yet? nothing has come up on orlydb

 

[nickwpearce]

yeah but the hacking world is bigger on the wii, only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope...

havent seen a scene release yet champ, thats when were likely to see someone try patch it

 

[davery22]

It's out now in Australia champ.

edit: Ignore this, I didn't read your post right, LOL

It checks whether the called ios has the trucha bug or not,
and locks you out if so.

 

[davery22]

Nice one. Does that mean someone can remove that check from the game so we can keep our trucha signed IOS's and still play RL3?

 

[nickwpearce]

i guess there should be an easy way around that then???

 

[nickwpearce]

softchip loader says it uses ios 53... any way around this?
