Well, I have a modded Wii and I'm downloading it now, but ShortFuse brings up some really good points, so it is probably fake.

EDIT: With a modchip a Wii can play games from standard DVD's. As for where to get one, it shouldn't be too hard to find on google.

Being a good little conformist
ShortFuse: I'd appreciate it if you didn't "pseudo-lock" threads, thanks. We'll wait for someone to try it before we declare it officially fake.

This wasn't the first thread made about it, but it is the largest, so I'll let it stand. No linking to the torrent, of course.

To limit the creation of new threads, good idea.

No Internet?!?
As much as I would like to hang around, I cannot.

I wonder how much this will have developed in 6 and a half hours anyway. I would really love this to be legit, and not the E for All demo.

Let's hope that whoever is downloading it knows their stuff when it comes to mucking about with files of this sort. I mean, it would be annoying if we had to wait for deconfirmation of authenticity simply because getting the files examined and tested for legitimacy is hindered by the usual problems one has when dealing with DLs.

You don't have to download the whole file.
Download the .rar file and partially extract it and you should get an ISO file
in that file, the first 100 bytes should you the Wii game code, the manufacturer, and the game title. if that's not in it, it's fake.

Well, this is the sort of stuff I do not know, but thanks for future reference.

Ooooh, very interesting. I'll be watching this thread. Think that it has characters that aren't confirmed?

100% FAKE! I downloaded the first 1MB and it's R4QP01
R = Revolution (Wii) Game
4Q = Mario Strikers Charged Football
P = PAL
01 = Nintendo
Further down you get: "Mario Strikers Charged Football"

FAKE!!!

I'm dissapointed. :( I was looking forward to some high-quality videos and such. Oh well. Shouldn't have gotten my hopes too high anyway.

k...Enjoy your Mario Strikers Charged PAL version.

I knew by the NFO file. It was pretty obvious. I dugg up more proof for the nonbelievers. I suggest this thread get (re)locked. When a real playable version comes out to be downloaded, I'll be one of the first one bragging about it. Plus, on a 30mbit connection, I can verify it rather quickly.

well, i do agree that the .nfo is quite fishy (its the first time i've seen vortex post up something in 48mb chunks...and doesn't even match the filename!)
and the last partial file claims the iso was last modified in May 2007

but how did you get the first few bytes of the iso file? The rar file isn't even avaliable to everyone yet (in terms of torrent fragments)

Thanks

edit: oh, you're the same guy the posted on gbatemp ^^;

Right click on the RAR file (if you're using WINRAR), Extract to... and check "Keep broken files"
extract upto 1% and cancel. The ISO will be there to see in a hex editor. everything past where WinRAR extracted will be 00s. You only need the first kilobyte to see the header.

i see, thanks
well i don't have enough fragments for winrar to recognize it as an rar file just yet (odd too, i have 1 in the beginning, 2 in the end), so i'll try it out and confirm it later.

random (seeder): http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/iplocation.asp?ipaddress=67.191.57.192
not sure how relevent that is
0-o;;;

Haven't we seen said state and city before by a 15 year old?....Naa...Couldn't be....

I was disappointed that I had to read this whole thread from beginning to end, only to be left with that sad feeling.

I would strongly appreciate it if someone would close this thread so that others don't have to go through the same thing.

So I think this can be locked now :o I looked at the posts and it seems the demo is a total fake. If it happens to be real after all (highly doubt it), PM me and I'll reopen this thread.
