Thus if you try to use the trilogy with it, you will get errors all over the place. Since it is speaking in a language the server doesnt understand. Different sets have different encryption.

So technically, it would have to be a Titanium CD set for you to be able to use the current Emu. The only way around that is if you know how to set the code for other encryptions, but then... most people who do know how won't be asking that question. And no, setting the encryption isnt something you want to try right out the gate. It requires a good working knowledge of the system.
