Download Packs

[jklasdf]

ya id buy that for sure!!!

Ok, I'm ready for new content. Seems like it is still going to be a while until the packs are available for the US.

Does anyone know if I can log into the EU store and download them? Is that possible?

[stin]

Rubix42, the answer is yes you can but can you pay for it?

I haven't really been checking... but the D/L packs STILL aren't available in the US??? Wow. Has Sony just abandoned support for Pulse in the States?

Don't forget that the two versions of the game are marketed/released by two different rather independent divisions of Sony, SCEE and SCEA.

Today I downloaded the Patapon demo game on my psp. After playing it I wanted to play some Pulse. While loading the game I got a menu that said I couldn't play the downloaded content anymore. So I should press circle for starting the game, but it didn't do anything. Now I can't play Pulse anymore.

I deleted the Patapon demo immediately, but no success. Now I am so sad. Can anybody help me out?

Here`s my theory.....

Your PSP can only be registered to one Playstation store account at a time, and can only access content downloaded with the account it is currently registered to. Sounds like you may have registered your PSP to a different PSN account to the one you downloaded the Pulse packs with, while you were in the process of downloading the Patapon demo. Did you download the Pulse packs and the Patapon demo with same PSN account? If not, that could be the source of your problem.

You would need to either access the account you downloaded the Pulse packs with and re-register your PSP to that, or re-download the packs on the same account as the one you downloaded the Patapon demo with.

Or I could be wrong....

Does that make sense? I hope it helps anyway.....

Demos are not account locked (Unless Sony is starting a new trend) so I doubt it could be that. A file probably got corrupted which prevents the loading of the pack AND Pulse. I suggest logging on to your account again and redownload the packs once more (You can do that an infinite number of times on one PSP, on up to five PSPs so it shouldn't be a problem), obviously after erasing all traces of them on the memory stick.

[Mad-Ice]

Oh yes Lunar, you are spot on! I was so lucky to get all the packs of Pulse from DjManiac, together with Kula World and original Wipeout, which are not working either atm. The Patapon demo, I downloaded it myself. It said something just before downloading it, which I did not quite understand, something about PSN accounts.

Now I understand it, but it is a little late. Just because I was so lucky to get the DLC as a present, I can't download anything else for myself without losing all thing received before. I think this sucks big time!

Sorry DjManiac, from now on you have to pay for all the games I want to have. You are gonna be a poor man very soon.

I have heard of this exact problem before in some of the online forums that visit-- not with regards to Wipeout but with other games, and usually in the context of registering the PSP in different regions. I completely understand Sony's need to protect its downloadable software with DRM but the situation can end up being a real mess. Maybe I will start doing ALL of my Wipeout gaming on a single PSP, tied to a single PC and PSStore account, in a single region.

Sorry for your situation, Mad-Ice

Just so you know, there is a way to decrypt the DRM. However I will only state it, if you want more info send me a PM.
Because really, in your case, you have the right to use the packs and the demo, since the demo is free, and the packs were graciously given to you by a friend. (Which is not against Sony's policy as far as I know. Unless we mustn't have friends anymore...)

If corporations could have their way.....

No plan for "Wipeout Pulse Complete" ?
If it is achieved, I'll plan to import Pulse...

Yeah just make sure you have a credit card for a European type Account
hahaha...
ain't it a b. we had to now pay for packs to upgrade games.
since last year,

[Darkdrium777]

If corporations could have their way.....

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Because really none of the security measures they have invented up to now are effective. The hackers will find a way no matter what... Such measures are taken only to bother the paying customer, which is what I do not understand.

Ah yes I forgot to point out that to decrypt the DRM you need custom firmware, and I am unsure it would work on an upgrade pack after all, since it converts to ISO (And the game most probably searches for the pack in PSP/GAME, so it will not work).

So the other thing I can think of is ask to log back into the account owning Pulse Packs and PurE download game, and download the Patapon demo from that account. This will reactivate your PSP under that account, so you should be able to play the games again.

Let me beat a dead horse even deader.

I've been so busy with work I haven't been able to devote any time to WipEout Pulse in a long time. I just got laid off on Thursday...

Anyway, where the hell are the "new" download packs??? I can't find them anywhere.
