Unhappy Freeloader

hello.
I just ordered freeloader over the net but the disc was faulty (as was the replacement disc they sent me) so I think they had a faulty batch or something (I've returned them now). It was v1.06b. Other freeloaders (friend's) work fine on my us Gamecube (so it's not my console).

Anyway, to get to the point: I was told at "gameplay" that there is now version 3 out. Is this true (it's news to me ) and if so, where can I get it from?

cheeers for any help

Latest version is 1.06B (as opposed to 'b')

http://uk.codejunkies.com/shop/produ...2&CountryID=GB

as far as I'm aware (other than codejunkies) www.lik-sang.com is the only supplier advertising this version, but this is only based on the sites I usually visit/use.

Thanx for that

I've ordered the 1.06B version from lik-sang along with the official Digital VGA lead (should work well with my projector i hope).

Gameplay are a bunch of monkeys it seems - they don't know what they're talking about, i mean, they were hopelessly off the mark. Did they train at Currys?

But dont hold out any hope of getting it from them. They are crap! I ordered one on 26th April as it was showing as in stock. The order has just sat at in progress since and despite numerous mails I have never had a single response. I would seriously advise anyone not to order anything from them or risk losing your money.....Thank God I only lost £7.

For an extra couple of quid I'd order from Play and be assured it'll arrive in a couple of days.

Steer well clear of Goblin.

I've had 1.06b for well over a year now, and I've yet to come across a game that it won't play. Granted, my collection is not as big as some, but I've got most of the AAA titles, and nearly all of them are NTSC.

Metroid Prime
Animal Crossing
Skies of Arcadia
Wario Ware
Mario Golf
Mario Kart: DD
Viewtiful Joe
F-Zero
MGS: Twin Snakes
Soul Calibur II
Star Wars Rebel Strike

All working perfectly, in beautiful prog scan (for most of them anyway).
