itchythesamurai Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Murry, are you going to hire a crackerjack attorney and bring GameTap to justice?

itchythesamurai Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I'm sorry, we're just no match against Captain Planet.
Murray the Chao Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 Murry, are you going to hire a crackerjack attorney and bring GameTap to justice? I don't have any plans to, but if this matter cannot be resolved, I will be giving Phoenix Wright a call!
Samnmax221 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Should call Johnnie Cochran, wait, he's dead. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL
Murray the Chao Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 Okay, I have looked into this some more, and found that when you launch a game from GameTap, two virtual drives are created: one at X, where the game data(including saved games)is stored, and one at Y, for the CD in games that use one. These drives do not appear in the Explorer, and if I try to access them in another application(such as DRAGON UnPacker or Hex Workshop)I get "Access is Denied". (screenshot from Even More Contraptions) Copy protection may be required to keep GameTap from becoming a piracy haven, but it is NOT okay when it prevents you from accessing your saved games(either to back them up, or to copy over one you got from somewhere else).
SyntheticGerbil Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Gametap sounds stupid. Just buy from Telltale. And if you want to play Incredible Machine Contraptions, it's like 3 bucks on Amazon.
Murray the Chao Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 I am going to start getting Sam & Max straight from Telltale, I just need to be able to back up my Culture Shock saved games first.
SyntheticGerbil Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I wonder if the saves are different on Gametap though? I'm sure Telltale doesn't hide secret "copyright" saved games on protected hard drives that get temporarily created on your PC.
Samnmax221 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 My saves are stored right in my Telltale folder, well not exactly, they're stored in a Data folder inside of the Telltale folder.
