Who else is checking GBAtemp every damn mintute?

[Cipherr]

Im checking here also. I havent played a pokemon game since red. Back when all of that madness started. I have a M3 so Im willing to DL the dump and give the game a spin and see if it has evolved any. If its the same old same old however I fear it will just sit on my mini SD like alot of other games I havent got around to TRYING yet.

Thanks. That was already mentioned though. The game will be dumped once a group that can get around the new protection gets it.

Oh, is that why there's no dump? Is there new protection?
I thought there was just a delay in one of the groups getting hold of them game to dump...

Well thats the point no body eknows why it's taking so long.. and don't really care about pokemon but there havn'r been any releases latley

 

[ambitous21]

i want to kick legacy in the butt.

I don't think this is the right way to treat the release groups

They don't HAVE to dump a game, they do it for the scene. If they don't dump a game at a certain date it's their choice... It's not their 'job' to dump the game, they are not obliged to do it...

It's really weird that the game is already on sale and still no dump... However, the street date was only broken yesterday/today so there is still a possibility to see a dump today.

Otherwise, I don't think that we will see a dump soon (before the real release date).

Yes, that is why. People have tried but they were bad dumps.

 

[shadowboy]

Precisely, no one but Legacy and possibly WRG (If they were still around T_T) has the materials needed to dump it.
In the meantime go play puzzlequest.

 

[Wuschmaster]

the same "protection" as all 1024mbit games? people keep saying its a protection, but i believe it isn't. all 1024mbit games had dumping problems so far.
i had the same problem when i wanted to dump JET IMPULSE and my JAPANESE diamond/pearl.

it kept saying "no card header found" when having to reinsert the game.
even though it said that, the dump was still on the CF card but invisible. when I run chkdsk on it, it became visible on the CF card and it had the same checksum as the one from the release groups. i just think people don't check and repair their CF cards' FAT after dumping.

by the way i am able to dump the game without any errors when i used a different CF card.

I would doubt any scene group would delay a release as they would get the kudos for releasing it first. As soon as a group can do it they will release it, I'm sure they have other things to do than just dump your games guys...

Wuschmaster, have you dumped the US version or the jap version then?

 

[Wuschmaster]

i dont have the US version yet sorry :/

 

[OSW]

if the hype for pokemon is this big... i wonder how hyped zelda will be.

more or less?

I'm assuming it'll be at least as big. Zelda Owns.

16.7 million a year... looks like pokemon is the biggest franchise and beats even mario+zelda+donkeykong+metroid together.

but think about how many pokemon games there are in comparison to zelda! in fact, pokemon has the most games and merchandise of all those franchises.
