Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label Extra [JP X360] - Patch is out!

[lmagus]

let's all pray!

[Medal]

Finally. Do you have to have the disc in your drive to download a patch like that, or is there any way to get it on a flash drive or download it without the game present?

[njiska]

To my knowledge you can only patch 360 titles by loading the game and downloading the patch.

[Medal]

Damn. Well, thanks. Maybe I'll find a workaround eventually. If not, the port is still good, so it's not a huge loss. Though it'd be extremely nice.

[EOJ]

Just hook your X360 up to the internet somewhere. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Medal]

My J360 is banned, unfortunately. That's part of how I got it so cheap. It's also updated past JTAG date, which is kind of a real downer.

[emphatic]

This is all sounds very promising. 

[drunkninja]

There is a site that posts up updates to 360 games for download, which you could then use other programs to load the updates to your 360 storage device with, but it looks like it's down now (not sure if permanently or temporary though).  I have it in my bookmarks for just this situation, cause I'm in the same boat as Medal.

[Medal]

! If it ever comes back up, please shoot me a PM That kind of made my heart skip a beat -- lots of possibilities!

[cstle]

I think anyone here with a way to connect their HDD to their PC could grab the update from the update cache. Or, if they use a USB stick they could just grab it from there.

Hm, just wondering ... does this imply that there is a way to preserve patches for "later generations"?

[bcass]

Everything has already been preserved.  Regardless of what happens to Microsoft or their servers, you will always be able to obtain everything that has ever been made available on Xbox Live from other sources.  Everything you can download from Xbox Live can be downloaded from various unofficial sites on the net.  You just need a JTAGd 360 console to use it all.  This is completely unrelated to the site that drunkninja mentions.

[emphatic]

I wonder if this will get a Platinum release?  Because that's the only really practical way of having all patches from the get-go, right?

[StarCreator]

I doubt such a thing can happen; I remember reading something suggesting that 5pb's license to sell the game has probably been revoked over the code-stealing controversy, but I can't recall where I read it.

[emphatic]

I doubt such a thing can happen

Hence the  smiley in my post.

[bcass]

IIRC 5pb already indicated in one of their blog posts (or maybe Mihara's?) that it would not be getting a retail re-release.  I wouldn't be surprised if it appears on the GoD section in the near future though.

[njiska]

The original plan was to release a "Complete Version" as a new retail release and as paid DLC for DOJ post patch. Since the "complete version" has been called off I assume the re-release has as well.

No, that's wrong.  Both were planned as DLC.  A re-release at retail was never on the cards.

[njiska]

My mistake. Seems I misread an andriassang.com article a year ago.

[emphatic]

Apparently, there was some sort of update on the patch, but Google is useless.  So what say ye who are fluent in the mysterious language of Mihara?

[EOJ]

Mihara just replies to a bunch of comments that say "thanks for your hard work on the patch". He doesn't give any new info on the patch, though.

This is what I get for "sourcing" stuff off the shmups forum.  Thanks for clearing it up.

Shmups forum is terrible for Cave info. Almost everything they post is either inaccurate, or ripped right off these forums (without sourcing us). Seems quite a few of them check these forums every day for info to post on shmups.

New post by 5PB. Translation team GO!

[StarCreator]

Based on Google Translate, I doubt it's saying anything we don't already know.  Getting a translator friend to clarify.

[lillin]

I bet its just another apology saying that its almost done, and will be delivered soon

[KOA]

According to the shmups twitter (I'm not sure how credible it is, myself)
"Daioujou BLEX news (jp: http://goo.gl/VNlD), patch complete, delivery soon. They apologize for the inconvenience, for the long wait, etc."

[njiska]

That was a twitter post by Elixir who is A: Not Credible, B: A prick and C: Not getting respect on this forum. I'd prefer a corroborating report.

[StarCreator]

Per translator friend, it basically says: "bla bla bla, problems, we're sorry. patch soon. please to be waiting a bit longer."  Not sure if the "patch soon" part can be interpreted as "it's done, coming out soon" or "we're still working on it".
