Disabling DLC signature checks in WipEout Pure EUR (UCES-00001)

[thp]

Here's a cwcheat to disable the DLC signature checks in the European release version of WipEout Pure. This cheat will enable loading of "fake-signed" DLC (e.g. converted JAP or USA DLC) on the EUR version of the game. This has been tested on a real PSP-2004 with the UMD release of the game using cwcheat as well as PPSSPP (which has built-in support for cwcheat codes).

Note that it doesn't allow loading of unmodified out-of-region DLC -- the DLC needs to be re-encrypted with an EUR signature for this to work.



_S UCES-00001
_G WipeOut Pure [EU]
_C1 Remove DLC Signature Check
_L 0x200A6FC0 0x00000000
_L 0x200A70A0 0x00000000


For example, here's Coke Style (Japan-only DLC ship) on Burgertown (Europe-only DLC track):

Wow that's pretty cool. When was this discovered?

Nice work.
I had to laugh with that game screenshot. I didn't know the coke ship existed. It looks like a flying meme.

The Coca-Cola Cokestyle also has no airbrakes as well, but still has the airbrake functions like every other ship. And it's even slower than F.E.I.S.A.R. (with lower thrust).

Amazing, thanks!
