0okm: “first FW 2.82 UMD game doesn’t work with DevHook?”

0okm took at a look at the recently released Blitz: The League Overtime from Midway Games. Here’s the report: “tried on DEVHOOK 0.51.0100 FW3.02, FW2.82 But NOT Work :P”

As for those of us here at QJ, we haven’t verified this yet because I still haven’t gotten my hands on the game (it’s an interesting game, though – even without an NFL licenese the game still goes into the “hardcore” behind-the-scenes mess that is pro football – no surprise that it’s rated Mature for Use of Drugs, Strong language, Realistic Blood, Suggestive Themes, and Realistic Violence).

Why doesn’t this game work with DevHook? How can this be fixed? We leave those questions for the experts. 0okm throws this out to chew over:
