No, I've just had my work passed off as other's work many times before, which you can't stop, but it certainly upsets me when ever I find out about it.  I know I am far from being the best, but at least I CAN hack most stuff, unlike some people that are pushing their nose where it don't belong.  

Actually if you want to know who I think is the best Xbox hacker, that would be _mirage_ and I'm sad that I never see him around anymore, he was a really great asset to the scene.  

BTW, the ban on Action Replay was not my choice.  I don't run the site, I'm just a moderator, but the reason was because Action Replay banned talk about us on their forums.  So what's good for the goose is good for the gander.  

Also, for the record, I never banned ANYBODYS IP.  I can only suggest it to the people that can, and unless CJ went by another name and I didn't know who he was, I never got him banned.  

Also, FNG told another person on the site, it wasn't me, that they he had no control over any saves that the users uploaded to the site and couldn't delete any of them.  Actually, I don't really care that much any more about the saves, because saves are easy as hell to hack and now I've given everybody the opportunity to hack their own saves and hopefully we'll get some talented save hackers coming out with stuff and induct them into the family circle.  

Just one final point, I do know of a few saves that were blatantly stolen, because of certain little things I put in them so I would know they were mine, and until those people can grow the balls to admit that, I will never trust them and want to associate with them.

Would it be possible to use PAL savegames on NTSC games?

There was, and probably still is is a site wide IP ban on Datel IP addresses, if you didn't put it in, somebody else did.  
Oddly enough it was around the time Xbox-saves was having a lot of Datels 'exclusive AR' saves uploaded to it, make of that what you will

Name some, preferrably from between 2003 and 2004 because that's when I worked for Datel and can verify who made what save

Yes, you'll need to change the main directory name (PAL:54540086, NTSC: 54540082) in the save and resign the save with the correct region.  roofus has already provided the NTSC resign info at Xbox-saves, here is the PAL:

[54540086]
ID=54540086
Title=GTA San Andreas PAL
AuthKey=A34F12575D396E25747BF317E3E44C18
DataFile=GTA_SA.xsv
DataOffset=20

Of course not, that was directed at the person I quoted.

I really wish I could, I forgot to write any of them down, and have wanted to just put that behind me.  I've decided to forget about doing saves anymore, that's why I haven't uploaded any saves in a long time, and just been giving resign info when possible.  I will just stick to doing stupid little programs and stupid little hacks, and helping people that need it, and providing resign info to people like Flying Finn, who makes great save editing tools, or to Anger and Sniper and others that ask for my help and already know how to hack on their own.  

Now that I've released the Non-XBL AuthKey program, I've been wondering how many people are actually going to take advantage of it, and will start sharing some great saves.  Unfortunately, I've learned though that people even though you give them the means to hack or modify a game or its saves, they still need everything laid out for them on a silver platter, which is really disappointing.

I must say I love this hack thanks to everyone involved. I been trying myself to figure out why it freezes and trying to find a way around. But my little experience in this really shows. I've noticed a couple of things that might help others more talented then I.
I've been using the gtacensorremover becuase i didn't want to start a new game.

1. after doing the hot coffee censored the game puts you back in the car. but on the uncensored one it doesn't. Might be a reason why it freezes but the multiplayer icon is more probable.

2. In the gf_sex.scm there are lines that include spanking. not sure if that was removed also but I'd like to see it if it is there cause spanking is cool. lol

I'll continue to mess around with this but I don't expect to get very far

One day I'll get round to looking through the SCM file myself and seeing if I can track down a fix to the problem

Turn up at Millies wearing your gimp suit for the second removed scene which involves spanking

GTA Censor Remover is a gameplay friendly version, it simply patches your save and you're good to go

It updates the checksum and resigns the save so there should be no issues with it loading and in fact this was tested on the Xbox last night by a good friend of mine and found to work

If for some reason it doesn't work on your XBox save first make sure you haven't modified any of the game files and only then if you haven't send it me and I'll take a look at it

As for usage, simply drop your Action Replay or Mega X-Key save onto the program and set the patch, it's as simple as that
If you have FTP access to your Xbox just ftp the GTA_SA.xsv file across to the PC, drop on the program, patch and send back, again, really easy stuff

Is this supposed to also make all girlfriends accessible?  If so, then it's not working on my save.  No girlfriends are accessible yet (I haven't reached that part in the storyline yet), and the game is playing from the save file just fine (no errors liek others have experienced).

No, all this does is patch your gamesave so that the censor is disabled (unlocking the extra interactive scenes), no other part of the gameplay is affected (ignoring being trapped in an invisible box)

The others were using PAL gamesaves which use a different encryption key, the latest version supports both NTSC and PAL saves with no problems now

Awesome!  Thanks!  It's great to know I can play the game as it should be played (besides being trapped as you say).  So, I heard there were some issues with certain clothes being worn/not being worn.  Does this patch take care of that issue?  I mean, is it everything the developers didn't want us to see?  Or is more tweaking needed?

Thanks for the patch!  I beat this game on PS2 long ago, but now I can actually complete the complete game.  I wonder what else has been withheld from gamers.

I found that it bypasses the censoring, but the girls are not naked.
