Update: Re-download the RAR archive and have a look at readme.txt. It provides for a better understanding if you haven’t a clue how to use the auto patcher. It’s incredibly simple — just drag and drop the ISO onto the executable.

It ain’t over Jacky boy! You read this, stirring up quite an overwhelming response, now have a gander at this — an auto patcher which will remove the censors from Manhunt 2. You know, in case for some reason you’re unable to get the manual method working. This app will no doubt do the trick. Props to cracker for his auto-patching Windows tool; thanks dude!

You notice how each time he strikes someone in an execution it flashes black? There’s a way to take that out too. Cause it’s kinda annoying when it gets dark as you strike the victim.

Here’s the string of code that they say you’re supposed to delete:

# —————————————————————————-
# [GK] execution colour ramp options: flash fadein (sec), flash duration (sec), flash fadeout time (sec)
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_TIMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TIME 5.0

Instead of just deleting it you delete the “FE_execrapms” after “EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE” and change the “0.25″ after “EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_TIMES” to 200 and just save that as the text file and then replace the files like normal and save it and there ya go, executions without the blur AND the black flashes.

Update: For the non-believers out there…

Enjoy playing Manhunt 2 — execute, slaughter, and kill — the way it was intended to be! Tutorial courtesy of DepheCt.

Requirements:

• UMDGen 4.00
• Manhunt 2 ISO/CSO (find that or rip it yourself)
• A simple text editor

Now… Open up UMDGen and drag and drop the ISO/CSO into the main window of UMDGen… You should see a Manhunt 2 icon in the top right of UMDGen.
Next, you should see some some folders in the main window of the program. Double click “PSP_GAME” then you will get more folders. Double click on USRDIR and then GLOBAL.
Once inside the Global folder, you should see a couple folders and and some files. We are only going to be touching one of these files from GLOBAL. Find a text file named LVLSETUP.INI and right click it hit extract selected and place it on your desktop. Now with the LVLSETUP.INI you extracted, open it with a notepad.
Inside the notepade look for this string…

# —————————————————————————-
# [GK] execution colour ramp options: flash fadein (sec), flash duration (sec), flash fadeout time (sec)
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_TIMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TIME 5.0

Delete all of it, and save the notepad. Go back to the open window of UMDgen and delete the Orginal LVLSETUP.INI and drag and drop the edited one you just created into that directory.

Now, we are going to go to another section of folders.

On the right side of UMDGen you should see the directorys of the game, click on USRDIR again and the main window will pop up with some new folders. The one we are going to be going into this time is LEVELS. Double click it.

Once inside the levels folder you should see 16 folders. A01 – A18.
Open the folder A01_ES.
Inside the A01_ES folder you are going to look for a file called GLVLSET.INI.
Same as before, extract it to the desktop and open it.
We are going to be looking for the same string…

# —————————————————————————-
# [GK] execution colour ramp options: flash fadein (sec), flash duration (sec), flash fadeout time (sec)
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_TIMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TIME 5.0

Delete it, and save the text file.
Delete the Orginal one inside UMDGen and drag and drop the one you just edited into UMDGen.

You need to repeat this step for every folder inside the LEVELS directory. So basicly you need to go thru A01_ES all the way to the last folder A18_MA and edit every one of those GLVLSET.INI files the same way you have been.

Once that is all completed (yeah I know its a pain …) hit the “Save” icon on UMDGen and select the method you wish to save it as. ISO/CSO/DAX, It shouldnt effect the process of what we just did.

Once UMDGen is done compressing and what not, Thats it. Take your modded game and upload it to your psp and play, enjoy your uncensored kills… the way Manhunt was meant to be enjoyed.

Awesome!

When the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto Series, Take-Two Interactive, posted their financial results for the second quarter of fiscal ‘06, they gave some insight on products planned for release this year. One of which of course was Vice City Stories for PSP.

However, they announced “an additional PSP title based on another [Rockstar Games] premier brand”. So which premier brand from R* would you like to play on your PSP? Read Dead Revolver, Manhunt, Max Payne? We’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled and see what it is.
