Tomb Raider and h4355


Tomb Raider and h4355

Postby BetaSword » Aug 7, 2004 @ 10:08am

Well, I got Tomb Raider. And I have an iPaq (like the title says, h4355). And it says it can't get the serial number or whatnot... Why? Why can't it get it? Oi... I've read something about a rom update fixed that on other iPaqs... But I've checked, and as far as I can tell, there aren't any rom updates for the h4355, unless one for another iPaq would work with it, which somehow I doubt. So... What now? Did I just waste a good $30? Or might there be another way around this craptacular anti-pirating measure that makes it so that only about 2% of all people can play it? And yes, that was a bit of an exageration... But still. I think everyone knows what I mean. I think.

The problem is that your device is too new. Tomb Raider was made to only run on iPAQs... which was find two years ago, but is a problem now cause of all the new ones.

While it pains me to say this, either get a refund from Handango, or grab the warezed version, which works on any Pocket PC. I mean, if you've already bought it, you're not hurting anyone.

It's a problem with their anti-piracy system being suited for iPaqs only.

Well yeah, to tell the truth, that is what I had to resort to, even though theoretically, it should be completely legal, since I did buy the game. It's their fault it didn't work right, and hey, they still got their money, so everyone's happy. I think. But there's still the issue of the sound... Does anyone know what could be causing the lag, or if it's just a result of the fact that it was cracked...
