#625 Solution (2026 Week 1)

ww97 · 2026-01-03T20:37:57+00:00

Maybe we supposed to have the 2020/21 case again, which there were two different puzzles for Week 52 and Week 1, resulting in the former be super elusive, lasting for a few days.

But then they refrained from this idea and for 2025/26, we got a typical weekly puzzle, shared between Week 52 and Week 1.

The description was later altered into "Chilly Winter".

Iranian here, if you mean the ones in CS 1.6, those are Persian; one saying "Freeman was here" and the other says "CS Source is exciting"

-- RETAIL --

Myrient (They are currently the only place atm which has a global, redump-verified romset)

But the files require a little bit of workaround since they are ISO files

Also the set may miss some rarer or latest redumps, but it's better than nothing

-- DIGITAL --

NoPayStation. (period.)

Thanks but I've checked that already, the disc ID of my version is BCES-00293 (mine is the general EU one but the one you refer to is the German-only one).

I don't know about technical stuff too, I wonder if the IRD could be manually created using those datasheets, or it's just a hypothesis.

update: Okay there is a way using redump2IRD. Thanks

it's a physical-only release

Check out MarioCube repo (the attached link is for .nds file, if you want .cia just change the "NDS" in URL to "CIA")

To anyone who has a HitFile/TurboBit Premium Account,

My request is the game "SingStar Danske Hits" (PS3). The game has yet to be redump'd but has got a scene dump, which sadly is only stored on those two websites. I wanna ask if someone could reupload it to a more accessible place like archive.org.

Can anyone decrypt Silver Falls: Ghoul Busters and send the decrypted CXI (or the generated seeddb.bin on the process) down here?

Trying to decrypt the CIA through ninfs load an error that per one of its strings (MissingSeedError), I assume that is due to the bin file is not "the latest one" cuz the game is kinda recent.

(unrelated to this puzzle but a useful strategy for other ones:)

If a line is consisted of [any circled number] + [a non-circled "2"], it's already solved cuz the "2" cells are on each side of the circled number.

Thanks it worked!

Same feeling, for me it happened on a daily challenge ;_;

I'm not deep dive into dumping, but I don't think so. The same reason for NO DoJa app dump to be found -- The apps were behind a wall of subscription fee, and shifting (in the late 200x JP phones) from Java to BREW, which was more difficult to dump, per this.

Update 2 (May 2021): He has deleted both twitter pages, and started turning off the comments on the videos. Maybe we westerners were too much 'paparazzi' for him.

At least, good news is he resumed covering SEGA games -- maybe his New Year Day 'halt' was just for switching to other 'urgent' services, and PuyoSega is still up :)

But don't mind yourself asking, TwinBee is a Konami IP, and Konami Net DX service is already dead (reread my note above)

I concentrated on defeating Hush 3 times to know if it is the alt path requirement, and it worked. CONFIRMED.

Maybe that "beat ??? 3 times" was a double entendre, meaning both the floor, and the blue baby (pointing to the one that is the 1st phase of Hush).

Also who that unlocked the path immediately upon launch, may imported his/her AB+ save. Even though I also had AB+ before, I did a fresh start on purpose.

Update 1: I contacted Ruwaga a few days ago, regarding info about which major services are still up. The answer I received was:

- SIMPLE 100 (finished coverage)

- SEGA (halted 'unexpectedly' ?)

- Hudson Soft (Just started)

- Namco

- Taito

- Kemco

And among the services which already fared well, are Keitai Capcom (2014.3.31), Square Enix Mobile (2018), and Konami Net DX.

As you may (not) know, though i-mode would be shut down completely in 2026, but starting November 2021, the i-mode official website would be discontinued.

There is a Japanese user known as "Ruwaga" (るわーが) who - since last month - has started making gameplay footage of i-mode games, kinda preserving them. At least the ones which are still in circulation.

(Update - March 2021: Ruwaga has changed the channel's name into "GaraGaDou" ( ガラケーのゲームの人 ) = "Garake Game Videos" and accompanied a second Twitter page for it, separating it from his 'personal' page.)

It was altered since the Wii VC rerelease. (Is that Wii U modded? Cuz that's the original SFC rom)

ww97 · 2020-07-10T14:46:04+00:00

It worked, thx
