That makes it sound like just a lazy port. It's crazy they didn't put a bit more effort and release it as a double pack (DDP + Instant Brain) or something, I mean what game nowadays has unremappable controls (that only uses 3 buttons)?!Kiken wrote:And no over-scan adjust.

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
The fact that it's just an unlockable and not a double pack means there is no requirement for extras. I can't believe the Kinect thing. Adding DDP was a silly addition and if they already had the emulation backbone they could have just released something like DP/DDP/ESP/Dangun separately as a quad disc or as separate downloads. But this unlock bonus route is the only thing they can do without having to add a zillion extras or else people will bitch profusely. Or so they thought.

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
The option to buy the full version would still be there regardless of region lock/IP lock status. It's simply not available yet on the GoD service if the option to buy the full game isn't there.
Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
I'm in Japan, I used my Japanese account, I found the game (in Japanese) under the games on demand section (Japanese) and I can't buy it (with Japanese points). It really sucks and I have never seen this before.
Do I need to call Cave's office or would XBox Japan be better? I think it's bugged.
I would just pick up the game brand new, but I don't want a physical copy of it for obvious reasons. Also, I don't really like Cave's games but I really wanna get it now coz it's annoying me if anything.
I don't have Konnect, and the internet has failed me thus far.
Come on expert shumppers, you're my only hope!

Neither would be much help - they have a strict "JAPANESE SPEAKERS ONLY" policy.

When in Rome. I can speak Japanese so that's no problem. Thanks for your help man and welcome to the forum.
I really need to learn French, those guys know what they are doing properly. Is there a French equivalent of smhups' message board? Could ask there maybe, in my poor French, LOL!!!!!!

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
wasn't going to bother with this but seeing as Instant Brain was 500 yen in the local store i thought "sod it" and picked it up.
500 yen for a non-frills version of Dodonpachi seems fair enough

"Unlockable"
"Games On Demand"
"Japanese"
"XBox 360"
"Cave"
"Hardcore"
"Smhup"

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
Yep, turns out you can download it from here. I'm quite glad, was never happy with the PS1 or Saturn versions but didn't want a hard copy of Instant Brain either.

So you managed to get the GoD version of the game? Your Xbox is japanese or Asian right? If you have jp MSPs, when prompted to pay with a credit card in yen, press x (or is it y?) to switch currencies from jpy to Microsoft points.
Bon courage mec!
Also, I wouldn't recommend this save hack method on a non-jtag/RGH system, even with another account(even though I guess only your account will get banned for this, not your system), if you can get 700G in 10mins of time, it's a definitely a method you'll get banned for one day or the other, just saying, save hacking has been easy to detect by Microsoft for quite a long time and it's pretty frowned upon according to xbl's term of use/access.

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
i assume they have some sort of bypass for Last Airbender and it's 1000 points in 2 minutes or soif you can get 700G in 10mins of time, it's a definitely a method you'll get banned for one day or the other,
Has anyone actually been banned for this that we know of?

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
I doubt many people have been banned but it's not worth the risk IMO.
Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
you said so. Create a secondary profile and stay offline - what's the problem ?

Also - if you were playing a game completely offline surely all the achievements would unlock at the same time if you were to go online - i mean, MS might have time stamps on achievements but i can't really see them going through those to ban accounts unless there's some sort of habitual abuse surely?

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
It would be simple, and not unprecedented, for a full scan of all profiles on the HDD to take place during a future system update. Don't underestimate Microsoft's profiling abilities. Microsoft's data profiling is second to non. There's a reason why they're so closely linked to the NSA.

well, that would be counter productive for them - though then again, MS have been busy wiping their arses on gamers the last year or so anyways.
A better thing would have been for Cave to offer an ingame purchase to just unlock the damned thing.

Well, obviously yeah, that would be the ideal situation. It almost seems spiteful not to release it on its own as a cheap XBLA title.

Out of curiosity since there isn't a button config, what are the button controls? Anything joystick friendly?

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
The trick didn't work for me. Are all the game data files (1-7) supposed to be 428kb big? I saved everything on the USB, but it's not registering when clicking load game. Obviously, special game or whatever is not available in the main menu screen. Please help! Frustrated here!!!

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
If you injected the files to the proper position (save game location on your USB stick) and they don't show, then something with the signing went wrong. You might have missed copying your console and user ID to all the files.

Re: Unlocking DoDonPachi in Instant Brain (Cave, XBox360, 20
The files are visible and can be transferred from the USB to the hard drive under system configuration, but when loading and continuing a game, they are not visible. It's weird. Hopefully the downloaded save files are not corrupt.
