Anti-Piracy

Due to the European version of the game using LibCrypt, the game detects if the player is using a modchip or otherwise uses a modified copy of the game. If either of these are detected, the player can only play the practice mode and cannot load any games. This unfortunately prevents the European version from being played on a PlayStation 3 due to the software emulation setting off this measure.
