Is it pre-scrubbed? Cause the Japan one was...

What exactly is the problem with scrubbed releases ? they work after all , and are better for the environment (all the computers would save 90% of the time downloading wii-music : less electricity)
Sorry for the noobish question.

Dack is not here, otherwise he would tell you that you're wrong. So I'm doing that in his placeINTERNETS said:lou_weed said:Just because everyone noticed its a 460~MB game from the japanese release, I've gotta ask :

because scrubbed games exploit a vulnerability in the firmware to run - they're not guaranteed to work as long as, say, a 1:1 copy used with a modchip.
Plus, the scene is filled with obsessive quality control.

Scrubbed releases ARE NOT Trucha Signed. So they don't use ANY vulnerabilities in the firmware.
The only way to block Scrubbed releases would be implementing a check for 00s (I'm not entirely sure if it replaces the garbage data with 00s or FFs, but nevermind, we'll just continue to use that) in the Game Discs. But they can't do that, seeing that some games out there come with 00s already in them (the only examples which come to mind of this would be Puzzle Quest). So they won't break compatibility and risk being sued only because of a few scrubbed games.
Why the scene won't adopt scrubbed releases? We won't ever know. PS2 scene uses them. The GC scene used them. There were no objections on quality back then, strange, uh? And even if the problem is all about preservation, you could easily revert them with an included patch.
So there's not really a reason to not do it. The Scene decided it this way, and it seems things won't change soon.
Oh well, here ends this off-topic. Sorry 'bout it.

I'm absolutely not interested in this game, not one bit.
