Trophies are finally obtainable again!

[XArlisbloxer05X]

Thanks to the work done by the Rain Private Server devs, Monster Hunter Frontier Z trophies are finally able to be unlocked again, all the way up to the 14th trophy pack. The only catch is that you can only get them on the PS Vita and PS3 versions of the game, PS4 currently isn't (and most likely never will be) supported due to the PS4 version having the server DNS hardcoded into the game.

So if you're itching to finally get those last few trophies, you've got a chance.

Private Server

 

Uh oh...

Too little too late if you ask me. You could already unlock the trophies with CFW and that'd get you banned just as fast as using a custom server.

Custom servers are only allowed if they're open source iirc. If this isn't, you are going to get flagged. If you can find out if the server is open source, let CRT know and they can permit it.

Here we go again.
 

You know, in theory, I’d love to have all custom servers allowed. 
 

I just draw a line if/when in order to use them, someone would be required to break Sony’s T&Cs (requires CFW) and/or the project is NOT for everyone (privately owned meaning they can get turned off again.)

 

With that said, I don’t know anything about this project.

From what I've seen, only the PS3 version requires CFW, the Vita version doesn't need any setup and can be played legit by registering your PSN account on their Discord server and changing your DNS settings so it can connect to the server.

But since there are no separate trophy lists, it's impossible to tell which version people are playing, which makes it understandable for the CRT to be doubtful.

Okay, so is this only working for the Japanese version? Wondering why nobody's earned trophies for the HK trophyset. Can @Squirlruler dive in into whether this private server is allowed or not? I know, obviously the English patch wouldn't be, but still.

yeah it only works on JP version of the game, and it should be allowed I don't see why it wouldn't be since it's just stock eol update

 

also here is the GitHub repository for it if anyone wants to take a look at it

Interesting, is there a reason it doesn't work for HK, or is that being looked into? I don't know much about these subscription-based games.

If it's all up on GitHub, wouldn't that make it open source?

hk version was originally a completely different server to the Japanese one so i assume that's why, and afaik its not being worked on for the hk one

Last question: I'm seeing that it requires cfw for PS3, but works with DNS on Vita? What about PS4?

PS4 isn't supported (yet), only PS3 and Vita versions are

[LuckySlime]

i dont think ps4 will ever be supported sadly.... but i would love to be proven wrong

[CelestialRequiem]

Paying close attention to this.

 

I've been wanting to do this game for so long, and actually wish I started it when I was living in Japan before it got shut down. I think if the CRT and the community can come to some sort of agreement to playing it on Vita as opposed to PS3, it'd be great to allow this project to be approved.
