Code Breaker + Bootloader

Post by TuxTheWise »

I was looking around internet for Code Breaker Bootloader after I found out it existed. So I found the PSO connecting tutorial in this forum. It has links for CB and bootloader. I burnt both but after I insert bootloader, I wait some time, swap for Code Breaker, close tray, wait some time and press Start. But it gives me the message:

"This is not a Code Breaker DC"

Hum... then after some research I found this old post where people say the bootloader only works on bought CB, not copies.

By the way, the Code Breaker I burnt seems to be okay because it boots without bootloader.

Questions: 1) Is that possible to make a copy of Code Breaker boots with that bootloader?
2) Anyone successfully made it?
3) Any guess of what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry for showing up all of a sudden on the forum asking stuff, I don't even know if it's allowed or I'm in the right section, but I had no where else to ask and I'm kinda tired of wasting discs getting the same result.

Hum, I can give more details, tell me if you want to know something else.

P.S.: I know I could use Game Shark instead, but CB has some nice codes that doesn't work on Game Shark.

I already solved my problem, I was using the "wrong" version of Code Breaker. I found a package with both here, and this one worked cool. All other copies I found on internet, including the one in PSO tutorial, does not work with loader. The not working copy had the files on second session, and the working copy had the files in first session.

Tux,

Welcome to our world. You can ask anything here at DC-Talk. We do not censor things here, we only ask to respect the others here in the forums. You can ask anything about things like Space Channel 5 Part2 - English version to PSO online connection ISO's (being Sega left us out to dry).

Please visit us and if you like you can request scheduled games for PSO, Q3, Max Pool, etc.
Regards,
Bob Dobbs
