Anyway, after all this info is made public, you can bet a working Backup Manager will follow. Quoted from flukes1 via dukio: flukes1: we have full control of lv1 and lv2 from our test application running as a normal pkg under gameosflukes1: the issue with lv2 pokes causing shutdown was caused by some protection added in 3.55flukes1: we found it and disabled itflukes1: i’m not finishedflukes1: this is the...
