Temporary 3.50 Game workaround

Another user came up with this idea for another game, but I've just tried it with Fist of the North Star and can confirm it works. If there's an NTSC USA game you're trying to play and the PARAM.SFO patch doesn't work, then if you locate the EBOOT from a different territory (PAL, NTSC JAP) that only requires 3.42, the game will boot and install successfully. No problems with Fist of the North Star so far, but I figured I'd save some people time since I actually bought the game only to discover it didn't work.

I install not succeed. I want to know the reason!

For what game did this not succeed. Post your variables, and we'll try to solve the equation lol.

this is because the eboots are interchangable, since they are like exe. good find, but you should make a better tutorial cause you will get alot of noobs that cant even do something this simple/

also a list of games that have the 3.42 alternatives would be good as well.

interesting...thanks for sharing the info mate!

btw i just wonder which could be the differences between fw requirement over regions if (in theory) the games are the same

devs with old versions of the SDK?

sorry my english
