HDAdvance 3.0 Success Craps On The Scene Again

[cmal1492]

Suprised . . . ?

Anybody . . . ?

Come on, don't be afraid to raise your hand.

I'm SHOCKED...... that it took them so long, they usually rip off the free enhancements to try sell more disks faster than that.

From the looks of things though, they also seem to wait for a lull in updates, and apparently learned some kind of "lesson" when they did HDA V2 and a bunch the hdld patches were released right after.

I personally was pretty irate when I ordered a HDLoader from consolesource a long time ago and they sent me the hacked HK pressed one that had the scene "for free" banner on it, especially since it was a low quality pressed disk with a PS2SCENE logo on it - the same price as the real one but the "free" elf (I'm not sure but I doubt the disk was even padded to have a large TOC).

These cats seem like a bunch of scammers. As mentioned earlier, I think the best thing to do is spread the word about where the real advancements have been made so as to cut into their sales.

Now its time to release all new patches Zer0-X

And now it is time to release all new things for hdl_dump.
@w1zard0f07 - time to change the server and client so nobody can use
new client and new server with "hdadvance_dump" !!!!

I agree the only way to fight these assholes is to keep ahead with new patches that make their products out of date before people waste their money on them, the scene should always be one step ahead of the lame rippers

I still think that when (IF) I/we find a way to get the DVD9 install code work we should at the same time alter bigger parts of the code to hide the usual things and add some way to make the core mess up if used with a pressed disc.

Anybody know if they still use the same old Crazy Taxi -basedisc?

(I've actually asked Sjeep once if such a detection could be implemented but he never replied. Wonder why...)

WEll here's the skinny.
hd advance 3.0 seens to be a skinned hdloader 0.7c with a boot menu that boots up hdl_srv.irx, most likely hex-edited to be calle dhdadvance server.

they didnt' even bother to rename or hex-edit hdl_dumb.

Can someone hack their computers and screw up shipping addresses and bring them a lot of heat from calls to the police about fraud.

Might be able to bring attention to that company. (they will get an article in the newspaper, but they will be shut down)


And for Zaphod, hahahaha.. didn't rename hdl_dumb hahahahah awesome

You would get a lot of heat from the police if YOU did that.

[Peppers]

Then you're a scumbag.

I know im pissing people off but this Industry only insists to the purpose of stealing other peoples work in the forum of illegal copies home dev and backup is great and that is what I use it for but its not what sells modchips and such do you rely expect those in such an industry to act with morality?

[ronetoneps2]

somebody should rip this new (hda v3.0) version to the net, so that it would NOT be earning profits from it if somebody will rls it... rip their work ruin their sells of hda v3.0... what u think...?

now that i can see happening, having it available on the torrent sites and all

[aterizak]

Sadly, I know some people who will buy it, simply because this way they can run homebrew/backuped/imported stuff without using a modchip on their console.

If only they gave credit to the original authors...
