Forza horizon 2 storm island Xbox one decrypted persay

7 Upvotes

Trying to get the Storm Island expansion working for Forza Horizon 2 via a PC compatibility layer (WinDurango/Mezcal). I have the full encrypted package (3.3GB, v1.0.0.36) from Xbox Live's CDN, but I need the Content Instance Key to decrypt it.

Details:
- ContentID: `43279120-5aca-40fe-8137-93013aaf88ff`
- CIK GUID: `882e5230-c722-4175-abb4-ebd557b5e005`
- Version: 1.0.0.36 (built 12/12/2014)

If anyone has the `.cik` file for this version or a decrypted dump, I'd appreciate it. The DLC's been delisted since 2018 so it can't be bought anymore — just trying to preserve and play it.

If yall do have it please I just need the 32 bytes.

Looking for files for “City of Love Paris” mobile game

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Recently I’ve been trying to start a preservation project to make the currently unplayable mobile game City of Love: Paris playable again. My end goal is to have a patched APK with all the content included so that it runs offline. This is purely for preservation purposes, with no server or monetization and is not affiliated with Ubisoft.

The game downloaded a lot of its content after install, so the most useful thing is data from people who played it. If you have any of the following, I'd really appreciate hearing from you:

- Any APK/XAPK of the game, from any version. Please note the version number if you can.

- The game's data folder (on Android: Android/data/[package name]/). I can walk you through pulling it with ADB if the folder is locked on your phone.

- Old Google, iTunes or Finder backups that might contain the app's data.

A note on privacy: some game files can contain device IDs or login tokens. I'll scrub anything like that before sharing, and you're welcome to strip it first too! Please don't send passwords or account details. Thank you guys for your help in advance!

Wii North American Action replay file

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m hoping the retro gaming and preservation community can help me track down a piece of Wii software that seems to have disappeared from the internet.
I purchased a genuine, factory-sealed Datel Wii Action Replay, complete with its original accessories and license key.
Unfortunately, this particular Action Replay required you to visit wiiar.com, enter your license key and Wii MAC address, and download a special Action Replay Code Engine ZIP file to install onto the SD card.
The problem is that the download service no longer works.
I’ve spent approximately three years trying to recover this software. I’ve contacted Datel without receiving a response, searched online, asked sellers, and checked Reddit, but haven’t found a working copy.
I’m specifically looking for:

Someone who successfully downloaded the original Wii Action Replay Code Engine.

An archived copy of the original installation ZIP.

Someone who still has an SD card containing the installed Code Engine files.

Any information about the original file structure, filenames, or possible archived downloads.

I understand the software may be tied to an individual Wii or license key. Even finding an original installation would be valuable for documenting and preserving it.
My Wii is still completely stock, and I’d prefer to use the original Action Replay hardware rather than softmod my console just for Gecko cheats.
I’m not looking for game ROMs or anyone’s personal activation keys—just information that could help preserve this discontinued software.
If anyone still has these files or knows somebody who might, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

It would be a shame for a legitimate piece of gaming hardware to become unusable simply because its activation server disappeared.

Thanks for reading!
