well ur firends wrong dnas checks for mods first b4 even checking the game and what we found out so far is u can load a game with a flip top system and get online with the original once online u can take the original out and put a copy of the same game and it will work online so theres only 1 check in the games to see if its origianl or not if they could patch it problem solved
but still u will have the solder chip problem with playing online
