Ah great. Just in time for me to try it out.
Gameloft does some decent games so this can't be too bad.

I really hope Wiiware gets more arcade rail shooters in the future.

Bought this the other day, its pretty decent actually but more fun of course with two players. Kinda limiting in one player.

Worth the points? Mmm not sure, though I have gone back to it time & time again I've not exactly played it in lengthy sessions unlike Gamelofts other game "TV Show King" which me and the Mrs played for like an hour and half last night.

Looks pretty good, simple yes, but pretty good.
I enjoyed Link CT until I unlocked everything, I might actually give this a try, it seems there is more variety to the shooting sequences, plus I always loved old far west videogames !

Right,

You'll need common-key.bin and the new vc injector. Without common-key.bin you won't get a working wad.

put common-key.bin in the same folder as the vc injector

run vc.exe in the command window using the command vc wwg.wad (change wwg to the name of the wad)

it will do its thing

then choose 2 for europe

then change the ticket to W4BP (the P is pal) the default title is W4BE

vc injector will then copy a file to the directory called title.wad - pop this on your SD card.

???

PROFIT!

i did have the common-key.bin in the same folder but it didnt do its thing, there is a lot of scrolling text which then stops and says 'cant open title.tmd'.

pal one is out now, but i'd still like o know what i'm doing wrong, could i possibly have the wrong bin file, it is the one i use to trucha sign (renamed). cheers mate

I love this game !
Although it's a little short and shallow, it reminds me of Bank panic, one of my favorites from the arcades...long time ago, but i still like to waste some half an hour on it every once in a while.

Now that I've been playing wild guns, it makes me wish to play Bank Panic with the Wii remote !
Maybe it's something worth for some new homebrew project, ho knows ?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
