The "Piracy" check in Spyro 3.


Sorry but that is kinda dumb  if they want to protect there game then more power to them...justsaying...

But it also stops the game being played on an emulator... If you've ever experienced the crazy level of anti-piracy you put in that game you'll learn to hate it xD

oh tongue

I also hate how...slow and clunky the game play is in enter the dragon fly tongue

If you actually own the disk you can play it on an emulator and you won't have that problem. tongue

Re: Things we actually hate about the Games

I have a Spyro 3: YotD image that I can play on an emulator.

I even made a torrent ...
{ mod edit: link removed, please do not link to ROMs or other pirated material on this forum! }
... in case you need one. I haven't found any problems with it so far.

Re: Things we actually hate about the Games

There was piracy involved in Spyro 3? I remember playing it on an emulator and it worked fine for me. What was the check?

I can answer that!

The American version of the disk has the anti-piracy stuff, but it isn't activated by emulators. Something different happens in European versions of the game, however, that make the game crash upon entering the first level. The same is true for Spyro 2.

However, if you hack the game to try and get around this, then you start to get more weird anti-piracy stuff. Instead of crashing, Zoe appears telling you that you've got a hacked game (but she didn't tell me for some reason...)

After this happens, gems go missing, eggs which you've already got disappear, sparx stops returning to gold again, the language randomly changes and when you reach the sorceress, 1 minute into the battle your game corrupts and you're returned to the beginning.

Re: Things we actually hate about the Games

hahaha, i've always wondered what it would be like to hear that in real life. somebody walks up to you on the street, "YOU SEEM TO BE PLAYING A HACKED VERSION OF THIS GAME." or, "PRESS TRIANGLE AT THE END OF YOUR GLIDE TO HOVER!"

or even better, if people moved around like playable video game characters. you walk away for a minute, and while the world's about to end, your character's just standing there. what if you really did that? or, "woops, forgot to turn [hit the left button], i guess i'll just run face first into this wall next to my staircase!"

on topic, uh - some of the Gameshark codes i find online don't work. there are too many versions of Spyro 3 with slight modifications that prevent all the codes i find from working on my version of the game.

Oh, yeah. I had that problem trying to use moon jump. I had about six different codes, took a long time for one to actually work.

Re: Things we actually hate about the Games

As good as the original and the in my opinion better LOS there is no such thing as a perfect game Dark Souls in my opinion is the greatest game ever yet it still has flaws such as it being a little cheap at times or how strong some of the enemy's,other players and bosses are so I am just trying to say that there is always a problem in a game even if it is a small one.

Re: Things we actually hate about the Games

Isn't it funny how we all complain about Skylanders, and yet these are all about LOS and the originals?
Anywho, I have the ending they gave us in DOTD. They just leave us with jaws dropping, and say 'End of this series of Spyro games! Bye!'.

If the Valley of Avalar didn't have those weird "evil spots" on the map with the
goblins and junk then it would be the most beautiful level in all Spyro games.
