    So recently I got a Wii RVT-H that ended up having multiple builds of Skylanders Giants on the HDD. Because its a RVT-H I am not able to back up the files so I decided to play through the alpha build and record it. Below I will post videos as I play the game. I will update this thread regularly.

    So far the differences I noticed are:

    • Disc channel calls the build Spyro's Adventure along with the copyright screen and autosave notification
    • Different main menu layout
    • Alternate intro scene
    • So far all the cutscenes are very very incomplete
    • Most of the voice actors are different
    • Besides cutscenes so far almost all in game voice acting is done with a monotone computer voice
    • Text and voice mismatch every once in a while
    • Moments of missing text/textures
    • Lots of alternate objects/textures
    • Incomplete enemy/freindly AI movement here and there
    • Different HUD
    • Missing cutscenes in one boss fight so far

    Also I should note that I had to censor a small bit of information in the bottom left corner for each cutscene. It doesn't take away from the game in any way. And for now I am using google drive to host the videos.

    Part 4 (Note: I edited out a couple parts where the game messed up and parts where I walked around for a while, and I got a stupid looking hat that ups my stats):

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3sbmBt6yc40U2FNQmRMdGRyT28/view

    Part 5 (cutscene at 19:54):

    Part 6 (edited out a part where I died and had to reply about 10 min of the game):

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3sbmBt6yc40Uk5ncXFXdmtER1E/view

    The thing that annoys me the most is you cant jump in this game. That and when Spyro learns to fly he just hovers. smh...

    Agreed. That's why I decided to at least play through the alpha build, record it, and share it here. That way I'll at least have footage of the whole thing and everyone can watch it.

    I heard of a theory to but I don't want to risk accidentally deleting any builds. I guess we can only hope someone comes forward.

    I like how they're using placeholder text to speech voices.

    I mean, in theory, since yours has the system menu, you would be able to use any of the exploits that use it. But someone has to take the risk.

    mean one method with bannerbomb or letterbomb and then using usbloader and trying to see if it would read the hdd as the dvd drive and extract it there are others i heard some seem more risky then others where homebrew isn't hard at all again i have nothing to test with sadly or i would.

    You should see if your friend with the RVT-H wants to try it. Because like I said I don't think I want to be the first lol.
    Also is your friends build of this game the same as my alpha build?

    Or maybe if someone has an RVT-H with an empty HDD they could load a game into it then install the Homebrew Channel and see if they can rip the game.

    I just chatted with @XboxSurgeon and he confirmed that homebrew applications won't read/rip games off the HDD. He said he has tried it in the past with no luck.

    At least everything I have tried myself has been unsuccessful. Perhaps someone can go further than I was able to.
