Unfortunately I don't have much skills when it comes to modding. I do have a jtag and access to the DOA5 game files. I haven't messed with any mods since DOAU. You do some awesome work, can't wait to see what you come up with.
I've been seeing the news on that too. So far friends are still playing, I can't confirm if mine still works until I get home. If they actually start IP banning then oh well, I was just playing it until DOA5 anyway. Thanks for the heads up.
New update for the game today, it's 1.2gb. If you have the English patch on your game you need to update it after you download the newest update. Here's a direct link to it.

I haven't had too much time to play. Hopefully I can get more time this weekend.
Sure thing, I just didn't know if I could post it here or not.

Finally got a chance to make some characters.
Ship 2
Devilman - Ranger - lvl 4
Azlyah - Hunter - lvl 6
I still have a lot to learn on the game but enjoying it so far.
Then I already qualify, woohoo!!! Wait......holy crap......I kept thinking I was 35 until it just hit me that I recently turned 36. Yeah, I think I'm starting to go senile.
www.llamma.com used to carry replacement d-pads. I have 2 sets at home that I bought just in case mine broke. These were the only ones I found on ebay for about $10. http://tinyurl.com/ct8cdsr

Hope these help. I have the game installed but haven't had a chance to actually start playing it yet.
