Does using LBA 45000 help in selfbooting Border Down?

Does using LBA 45000 help in selfbooting Border Down?

I know there's a Border Down/Ikaruga selfboot release, but has anyone succeded in selfbooting Border Down alone?

and how did u get past the protection that no one else has managed yet??

bum	02-10-2003 04:45

no, just changing 2:nd session LBA to 45000 and not modifying anything esle wont get you past the protection, ppl already tried that

I tried with 11702, but could only get to the "Produced by or under license by sega, etc." screen (the one after the DC logo), then it stops loading.

What is the protection you are talking about?

does hack3.exe work with this or was it already hacked with that?

now that i think about it, i didn't selfboot the game by itself. i used the web browser way to boot it with the lba 24810. i got to that lba by buring the audio.wav 30 times. don't ask why i did that.

border down...

i tired every lba and i have hex edit it manuel and used patchs as well, but i still cannot get the game itself to self-boot. when you say you burn the audio 30 times. ar you saying you are buring the audio in the begging of the first session 30 times ?

yes, copy and paste the following for the first session,

cdrecord -dev=x.x.x -multi -audio speed=4 audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav audio.wav

then, -msinfo, binhack.

remember, i used the web browser to boot it.

re:border down....

could this also work for the game alone ? pretty much the audio is acting like a dummy is it not. but its also change the lba.

well, i'm not sure about a stand-alone selfboot, but if i got it to boot using the web browser, then you can prolly get it to boot stand-alone that way.

i never tried it. maybe someone can test it out as i am low on cd-r's for now.

there is a way to boot borderdown

also use DP3 browser
add an AUTO launch tag in the dpwww\index.htm
when the dp3 is booting
it will launch Borderdown automaticly

belokk

Have you actually gotten this to work? I tried the auto launch tag, and haven't gotten it to work. I tested it first by hosting an autoluanch page on my site. It just keeps refreshing the page...
I thought maybe it would work on the disc anyway, so I gave it a shot. I made an autolaunch page with a 3 second delay and a "presented by Sega" graphic on black background using a custom XDP with black URL bar and no title in the header to make it look nice. It does nothing.
When making XDP, I used a refresh tag on the midi-surfer to cycle midis while you surf the internet. I noticed that I needed to be connected to the internet, for some reason, for it to refresh properly.
Either I'm missing something, or the autolaunch page using a refresh tag doesn't work right with DP.

If you want to see my hosted refresh page, you can test it here...
http://www.psilocybindreams.com/border.html
it seems to work fine on a PC browser.

I just realized something... I put the refresh tag in the header. This may be the cause for it not working right in DP. I'll try not using a header when I get home.
Here's a test launch page without the header:

Well, it doesn't seem to work either way... hmmm

did you try with javascript?

Code:

<script>

sec = 0;

function autoLaunch(delay) {

if (sec == delay)

   location = "x-avefront://---.dream/proc/launch/1";

else

   sec ++;

chrono=setTimeout("autoLaunch("+delay+")",1000);

}

</script>

<body onload=autoLaunch(3)>

i didnt test it but it should work

Excalibur007

26-02-2004 05:38

Ok, that script is hosted for test here:

http://www.psilocybindreams.com/launch.html

I won't be able to test it till this evening, but if anyone else wants to try it and post here, you're welcome.

Thanks speud.

btw what do you intend to do with that? do you want psd/xdp users to connect to your site so it can launch one of the app on the cd?
if so that would be a really bad idea to me, against all the previous statements claiming psd/xdp was done for people who couldnt connect a lot, so they could access everything they needed in local files.
anyway why not just to put a link to the x-ave command if it still doesnt work?

Excalibur007

26-02-2004 11:02

nah, I already said what I was doing with it... booting Borderdown with a more attractive method.

Although, I have considered putting an easter egg or so into PSDv2 with my site.
