Yeah all my Uncharted 2 trophies vanished!

But i just put the disk back in and they all came back.

I wish mine did that... T.T

hmmm thank you do you think their maybe an easier way to find the iv and ev of a pokemon in PBR (1) pllleeaassee OH HEYY I JUST HEARD OF A CODE MANAGER PROGRAM FOR WII CALLLED OCARINA THAT WORKS ON GECKOOS (2) do you guys think we could replicate the pokemon by makeing a code for that that would show the ev and iv of a pokemon (3)

1. Yes, but that would take forever to find all of those addresses... And we'd need a lot more data too... Including the PID...

2. As far as I know, geckoOS uses ocarina (or use to) and the regular app itself has it... And if you are refering to a code manager program, there are a few out there... I don't think Ocarina is even being worked on anymore...

3. {See #1}

I disagree... IWnet sucks... Consoles have better (simpler) online... Just turn on and play... No messing with servers... And they are usually more powerful...

The Saboteur on PS3 and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition...

The Saboteur for the amazing art style and hilarious glitches every now and then (tell me a Nazi Patrol car continuing to drive up a nonexistent hill and crashing into a zeppelin isn't funny!...) and Fallout 3 for the MASSIVE amount of gameplay and fun to be had...

Um..you left out a very big bit of info : / only the fat PS3's are broken. The slim version works fine...

It seems we have a 24 hour wait for a fix (tuesday mornin)

also not all games with online dont work i know my GH doesnt work but Uncharted 2 works grand : /

EDIT : and no your Trophies will not be deleted its just that any that were not synced with the server will not register now they are lost and any you earn during this incident will not register..

I would have said otherwise if it was so... I've heard some reports in comments on some of the news articles about how some fat PS3's were working through the bug and some slims were not...

The "24 hour fix" was just Sony waiting for the day to pass so that the bug would fix itself...

Also, I can personally say that some of my synced trophies were lost and I still don't have them back...

And I'm confused. How does Uncharted 2 (trophy enabled) work?... And if your Guitar Hero is World Tour or III then its all the stranger...

lolwut? I have an original 60GB Fat PS3 with the latest firmware and have had no problem. 3/1/10. No 1/1/00 or 2/29/10, etc. I'm able to get online and use the PlayStation Store as well. However, I use a Japanese PSN account if that makes any difference what so ever. ~STBE

EDIT: You sent me a message on my PS3 about something called "Sodium". What is that? Is it for Home? I cannot use Home considering it is in Japanese because of my account type.

That might make a difference... I've only heard of English-speaking country PS3's going down, like the US, UK, and Australia, and some other European ones but since i don't speak Japanese yet, I can't verify them...

And about the SodiumOne thing, yes, it's Home based... It sends those messages automatically to my friends if I press a button on a menu in the space... I didn't try to send you that...

all these functions and and tools im not sure i hve the resources or know what to do step by step to make that happen (1) what tools do i need to gather up to make this possible (2) and were do we go from their once weve fond it how do we disable the encription function (3) sowwy to be so mean guys i (4) i just am a little over whelemed i had my gale of darkness lugia in their......... if only i knew thier ev and iv i could rebuild em with pokesav but i cant acsess that info are their any shortcuts i can take to not havethier stats go back to base level when they get put in the box (5) ........ but im off topic this is for retriveing PRB POKEMON you all have done well i cant thank you enough tee hee ^.^

1. As long as you have a 2GB or less SD card and means to write on it not via the Wii (or bluetooth in a PC if we can figure out the Wiimote), the rest is free...

2. No offense, but they might be a little bit much for you to buy. When I mentioned the USBGecko earlier, I meant that one or more of us who would be looking for addresses get one, because not only are they not for the average Wii user, they are also not massed produced and thus somewhat hard too get... (I'm still trying to get one...)

3. In most possible cases, it would be as simple as loading GeckoOS on your Wii (very simple) and running a code in it... The code would change values in the Wii's memory like an action replay...

4. I didn't think you sounded that way at all...

5. You mean in D/P/Pt?... If the stats are different than what they would naturally be, the PC will always reset them...assuming that you are referring to the stat edit menu in Pokesav?...

They really should.....I miss the P.A Announcer guy too

Me too... And the remade sounds were really nice as well...

Well, here's an idea: I wrote a program a while back that extracts the memory contents of a Wii remote and dumps them to a binary file on the client PC via Bluetooth. Maybe we could compare what comes out to what we see on the Gecko remote debugger during the process of actually writing the data to the Wii remote in the first place? Then we could figure out where the data came from in memory, and... I'm not really sure what we'd do next, but it's a start?

Oh! You're on to something there! If we did that, we could find the encryption address(s) for the Wiimote! It'd be much easier to disable a function if we know where it's located...

Definately better than Trozei or Rumble... Just wish it lasted longer than it did... I revisited it on my Wii last week (and probably today now that PSN is giving me s***...)... I had it beat in about 5-6 hours... Mew and all...

The Playstation Network has been down for two days now. Playstation 3 users all over the world are having difficulties pertaining to error code 8001050F; some of the more significant ones being:

1. All online features pertaining to the Playstation Network are not functioning.*

Any game with an online mode of any sort will not be able to connect online.

2. Trophies are getting erased!*

WARNING: DO NOT PLAY A GAME WITH TROPHIES AT THE MOMENT!!! ALL OF YOUR TROPHIES FOR THAT GAME WILL BE DELETED!!!

3. NEW GAMES WILL NOT START!!!!!!!!!

Just purchase Heavy Rain?... Or MAG?... Too bad, you can't even boot them!...

*Can personally verify with my CECHK01

Rumor has it that this error is caused by faulty coding of the internal clock to register a leap year every two years instead of every four, causing an error in the OS when it gets passed the date as the OS isn't programmed to handle a date of February 29th on non-leap-years...

[EDIT]: The bug has passed, but if data was lost, such as trophies and save data, it is unable to be recovered...

Just to clarify, what we are trying to figure out how to do get some Pokemon out of a Pokemon Battle Revolution save file...

One way or another...

Also, Pokemon battle Revolution does not trade pokemon or give them back to DS carts either... Therefore we are trying to determine how to extract the data to a usable form from a Pokemon Battle Revolution save file... (Or possibly some other file like the Wiimote data... Now that codemonkey put the idea in my head...)

The easiest way I know is to use a USB Gecko, or some other PC to Wii attachment, and use its remote dubugger to find addresses... When combined with a USB Gecko, GeckoOS runs a PC Debugger has dumps the Wii's memory to your PC for view and searching...

K, it's as I guessed then... Then an easier route may be to generate a code for use with geckoOS that causes PBR to save unencrypted save...

And codemonkey, when you say that the pokemon are encrypted (and shuffled), is that on top of the PBR encryption?... (So many levels...)

Any clues to how they encrypt it?...

I hardly know anything about the XBOX360 or the PS3, so I can't really vote on this, however I do know that unlike the XBOX360 and PS3, the Wii has great motion capabilities, and its games target everyone, not just experienced gamers.

If the capabilities are so great, why did they need motionplus? Even with motionplus, I was disappointed with WiiSports Resort. I got it remembering myself drooling over the swordplay that I'd be able to do, only to find out that all I could do was swipes and holding B to block...my little brother STILL pwns me by swinging the WiiMote like a maniac, not thinking about anything... Hell, half the time he doesn't even look at the TV...

So before I go quote crazy, I'm going to run down my thoughts on this topic:

PS3: Several different versions since release makes it very confusing to keep track of which has what features. The iffy question of backwards compatibility turned me off, because if I got a PS3, I didn't want to keep my PS2 plugged in for PS1 games, old Guitar Hero, and so on.

It's great that the online service is free, but it also seems like they put next to no effort in running it. Slow, lag, lag, lag, lag....even though Xbox Live has it's fair share of idiots, I like to think that needing a [parent] credit card is kind of like Darwinism.

Xbox 360: Now here's how to make a new system. Like, almost everything is backwards compatible, excellent online service (really worth the price, if I owned one), a good selection of games, gets most of the major releases that go out on all systems, usually gets some bonus exclusives. The price is pretty decent...

Oh wait, what's that? These things break? A lot? And the warranty sucks, and stores are trying to stop selling store warranties?

Fuck that. If I pay a few hundred bucks for something, I shouldn't have to send it back in and get it fixed. And if I do, it should be fixed for free instead of the ridiculous "1 year general, 3 years ring of death, after that get lost" warranty.

There's a thread in the Something Awful Forums for the 360 discussion. They had to make a seperate thread for Broke 360s because it just dominated the general thread. The thread starts with cautious speculation and optimism. Now everyone pretty much says "it's a question of when, not if, it's going to break."

Wii: Backwards compatibility, much more affordable on almost all fronts, a decent enough online store. Online play for games is pretty much crap, but I've always enjoyed playing video games with people in the same room, not elsewhere. Gets a majority of the big releases (though a lot of 3rd parties like Spider-Man 3 just give it a crap PS2 port). a good selection of games, and pretty much everyone can play Smash, Kart, and sports. And I won't have to send it in if it breaks, because it probably won't.

I'm going with the Wii. The PS3 has a bunch of crap that I don't need. The 360 does too, but less so. In a video game system, I want to play VIDEO GAMEs. Not watch movies and listen to music and surf Youtube and IM peeps and Blu ray this and whatever. Seriously, most people have a DVD player on their TV and in their computer. You don't need a video game system to play DVD movies also.

Think of how much cheaper PS3 and 360 would be if they didn't have all those extra features?

At the same time, the popular Wii games don't need super next Gen graphics. Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Wii Sports, Fit, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and many others are all pretty basic games. You don't need excellent graphics to enjoy them.

There's no doubt that the graphics on the PS3 and 360 are better, but the people who play those systems are more likely to play games that require more graphics, more memory, online connectivity, etc... Not the case for the Wii.

Can you think of a single system that doesn't have a ton of shovelware? Yknow, crap 3rd party games that get made anyway because they sell big, usually to a little kid audience?

Seriously, look through any "List of [insert console here] games" on Wikipedia. There's tons of crap games on every system in history.

Until recently (with my DS and Wii), I never owned more than 4 games for any system, except my first, Sega Master. And I love Sega Master games. Just because Super Bible Fishing Expedition II was on there didn't subtract from the joy I got from Rampage, Paperboy, and Cloudmaster.

There's really quite a few games (like, really, a lot) that would do well for a general gaming audience. It's just, as you "kind of" note, the heavily marketed games are done for the gamer demo.

It's nothing new that video games simulate real life activities. Mario Kart, tons of sports titles, and so on. All the Wii really added was some type of motion, and if my memory isn't too foggy, even that isn't completely new.

Like what?

Mario Kart? Regular Wii mote works fine, as well as Gamecube controllers. There might be some games out there that require new add ons, but those mostly apply to every other console as well (Rock Band)

That's mostly due to the 3rd party games that were ported from PS2 versions with little/no though (I'm looking at you, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance). First party games are MUCH better at actually utilizing the Wii mote. I can only hope 3rd party games will eventually catch up.

The crazy thing is Nintendo had a press conference and the spokesperson was all worried that Wii sales started slowing down. And then every RUINED FOREVER idiot out there posted that press conference and saying "L00K!11!!! NINTENDO FAILED"...but it's still the biggest selling console. So what that sales slowed down. It can't stay on top of monthly charts forever.

There's only a handful of games that are exclusive to the PS3 (being compared to the 360 library).

So hooray, you based it on version exclusives? Not that that's bad, but it isn't exactly blowing my mind :eek:

While I agree with your point, but again, another post that isn't blowing my mind.

How's this bad? They took a gamble because they saw that Gamecube wasn't attracting the "hardcore" gamers, and the only popular titles were aimed at "casual" gamers (Kart and Smash). They took a gamble on it, it worked, seems good that they're shifting their focus.

So..if they spread out these releases, you'd be okay?

As for Pokemon, unfortunately, it's not done by 1st party affiliates.

Pokemon's license is owned by Nintendo. They license someone to make games for the consoles (ala 2nd party). These people range from making decent games (Stadium 1+2) to crap games (Colo and , Ranch). And GameFreak, the only people who seem to know how to make a Pokemon game, refuse to work on consoles.

So yeah, we're probably never going to get a decent console game (though I think a Contest game, similar to how it's done in the anime, would be GREAT on the Wii).

PS3: They fixed most of your problems with it. If you walk into a gaming store and buy a shiny (or matted actually) PS3 today, you're very likely to choose between 2 or 3 different sizes of storage space in a PS3 Slim. Although there is no backwards compatibility for PS2 games as of yet, they have had BC for PS1 games since day 1. And contrary to popular belief, Sony puts a lot of effort into the online part of the PS3. And, other than when I was using my neighbor's wi-fi which was laggy in the first place, I've experienced NO LAG online in any game other than the buffers in games like Soul Calibur IV.

Wii: Yes, I fully understand what you mean by every console ever has had a ton of shovelware. But be realistic here. How can you honestly tell me that the Wii has a normal ratio of good quality games an shovelware? Yes, the NES had a vast library of shovelware, but most of it was still enjoyable to play and hard to beat at that! Just play Rush'n Attack for 5 minutes and tell me it isn't a Contra/Ninja Gaiden shovelware clone. But it still is extremely addictive and no pushover.

I play my 360 the most. It consistently outperforms the supposedly "superior" PS3. Cross Platform games always look best on 360 when they are put next to eachother. The 360 has the best online experience and it's big sellers are a blast to play.

If I had a use for a bluray player, maybe. What you don't realize is that all 3rd party games look best on the 360. Examples? In list form, of course!

-Fallout 3: higher resolution textures, higher static object view distance, better shading

-Assassin's Creed: Higher innate contrast, better shading

-GTA IV: View distance, innate contrast

-Call of Duty 4: Higher res textures, better shading

Those are just examples. The PS3 claims to be a graphics powerhouse capable of delivering HD content that blows the 360 away, but so far it has yet to actually do that. That's because sony is insanely stupid and always makes it's architectures preposterously difficult to code efficiently for. Cell is a mess.

The only reason for the "superior" graphics on multiplatform 360 games is because the graphics are the same for both because the developers, instead of making two sets of graphics for the two consoles, make one set of graphics and then port them over to the respective systems. The PS3's then get upscaled from 720p to 1080p making the textures and such LOOK more crisp and defined on a 360 because the upscaling blurs them essentially. But on the other hand, look at FF XIII. On the 360, it needs 4 discs! And still, FOR FF XIII THE 360'S GRAPHICS AND AUDIO WILL NEED TO BE COMPRESSED ON THE 4 DISCS TO FIT. YES, COMPRESSED, WHICH WILL DISTORT THEM! The PS3, on the other hand, needs only a single Blu-Ray disc and doesn't need any compression whatsoever. And have you seen the previews for it!?

Graphics aren't everything either. The PS3 still excels in raw power. I take it you've heard of MAG? it runs at 30 f/s and is only 720p. But that's to compensate for 256 players at once. And to anyone who says that they don't ever leave 256 player in the same area, think again. Last night, I was in a match of Domination of SVER (my team) defending against Raven and we had two crafty Officers in Charge. They ordered both factions to attack the same area and IT...WAS...AWESOME!!!!! (

Honestly, none of them really agree with me. The Wii focuses on multiplayer too much. As a huge fan of RPGs, you can see why this is a turn off. The XBox360. RPG fans usually don't like online first person shooters and 11 year old kids yelling rasist profanities at them. PS3. It can play movies and what not, but it's game libary in the RPG department is seriously lacking. Hell, it's lacking in ALL game departments.

I'd rather stick to my SNES because of great games like Final Fantasy VI. If Final Fantasy XIII's battle system isn't as Fu€k up as it looks like in the trailers, I suppose it would have to be the PS3. Until I play it, however, I stand nuetral. ~STBE

They are getting a lot of RPG's online in the Playstation Store...

Thanks. I'll add a list in the first post so people won't have to read through all the posts... If there is any more posts that is... ~STBE

lol... I wouldn't expect too many more... We are on a Pokemon forum after all... :rolleyes:

I haven't looked at the app in depth, or know the IOS well enough yet...

Is the save you extracted encrypted in PBR and Wii encryption, just PBR, or none?...

So, PBR does encryption then?...

FYI, Poryhack, there is some Wii homebrew that can extract Wii save data in an unencrypted format whether you are normally able to back it up or not so, in this case, we'd only have to worry about breaking the encryption on PBR, not the Wii itself...

Either that or we could use Gecko OS to create a code save data WITHOUT the encryption... (Before you question the plausibility of it, look into the Brawl SD loader code to see what is possible through RAM hacking...)

I'm not certain but maybe Battle Revolution stores the data for pkm files transfered to the Wii as pkm files...

Maybe someone could compare data for their boxes and party with their Wii save?...

If the data isn't encrypted, you could just search for the exact pattern if I'm not mistaken...

I'd do it myself if I had the game...

If this isn't solved by the next time I go to my cousin's house, I extract my save for PBR and do this myself...

Oh how I wish I could be so optimistic as you two...

Unfortunately, I'm too bound to my realism-based ways...

We don't can't see sunsets in New Zealand because of the geographical location. We are like at the bottom of the world, i think we are the first ones to see the sun.

Isn't New Zealand in the future then all countries? or just some.

Not really... I believe the notion of eastern countries being in the future due to an earlier time zone to be false and here's why:

Say I fly a plane westward from New England (Northeasternmost United States). I stop on the West Coast of the United States within an hour of departure after passing through three time zones. If I left at 6:00 AM, and traveled for an hour, it would be 7:00 AM, but because I traveled westward through 3 time zones, each of which is an hour behind US Eastern Standard Time, I theoretically would have lost 3 hours and so the theoretical time would be 4:00 AM! My point being, if I were to fly around the world in a westward fashion, I'd be able to theoretically go back in time and if I were to fly eastward bound, I could travel into the future, so to speak.

So take this as one of two ways:

1) Time is a human product and that because humans and their creations are not perfect, and have their flaws, and we have a loophole in time on our hands (do with it what you will...).

-OR-

2) That this shows that our perception of time is broken and that instead of believing in time travel based on flying around the world, we should just think with common sense for a minute that the Earth is a single celestial body that exists as a whole and that we all experience time at the same moment and we are just fooled by the proposition of night and day starting at the same number time-wise (for the convenience of travelers...) due to different positions in relationship to the sun.

(I just realized how bored I am right now...)

Sorry for the bump, but I've gotta say: I got this for Christmas and it's awesome. It's great. Fun. Epic in every way. Did I actually say I didn't care to own this game? I was so young and foolish.

FPS isn't my favorite genre, and Metroid isn't my favorite series. I don't think I'll be buying this; instead, I'll wait for Other M.

Yes, you did... There's your post...

The Prime series is more a series of First-Person Adventure games than First-Person Shooters. They really stuck with the feel of Metroid, with the focus being on exploration and action. The control scheme (for the GC games) was designed so that in a battle, you were more focused on finding cover and timing your shots rather than using the joysticks to slowly line up a shot (a la Halo, or any other console shooter). And this control scheme was only enhanced by the beautiful accuracy of the WiiMote.

If you're even slightly interested, I'd recommend giving it a try. It's really not what you'd expect.

PLUS, it's three amazing games for $50. Can't beat that, really.

Guested was right, wasn't he?...

Did I actually say I didn't care to own this game? I was so young and foolish.

Man, how some people age in half a year...

Ah, Christmas has finally come!

Out of my list, I only got the laptop... even though it's only 6GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive, I can't complain... I did get Family Guy: something, Something, Something Dark Side on Blu-ray...

(If anyone else feels like saying if they got what they wanted, go ahead...)

You're welcome...

Glad I could help...
