Help/Support GamePlayer: "failed to initialize"

[iosguy1982 0]

 

Hi everyone,

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section. I wonder if someone can help me. I've tried everything I know and scoured the internet for a solution to no avail. I have a jailbroken first gen ipad (ios 5.1.1) which had trouble so i restored and rejailbroke it. Got my apps back but unfortunately GamePlayer (a game modding app through Cydia) keeps saying "failed to initialize" when i launch it. Rebooted several times and uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. Restored and re-jailbroke several times with no luck. All the repos that had the correct version (v1.5.4) i need of that app are offline/down (e.g. hackyouriphone and heaveniphone). So what I did was a redeb of the app which is running just fine on my ipod touch 3 (also ios 5.1.1). But as i mentioned the app keeps saying "failed to initialize" on the ipad. In Cydia GamePlayer shows up just fine with a green check mark under the "installed" section. The app is the free version on both devices. So what exactly is permitting it to work on the ipod but no the ipad? Is it a hidden filed buried somewhere in the ipod that i can copy over to the ipad? I tried installing the deb both by placing it in Root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall as well as running the installer for it in ifile and got the "Finished with Result Code: 0" line, which to my knowledge indicates a successful installation. I also installed its dependency, which is called Heaveniphone Repo Icon and it also shows up as installed correctly in Cydia's "installed" section. I unfortunately don't have any cydia backups of ipad nor am i able to install any cydia backup apps on the ipod touch (due to the old and no longer supported ios 5.1.1) so that i can back it up and restore it to the ipad. And the couple of cydia backup apps that I did manage to install successfully on the ipod touch (such as AptBackup and OpenBackup) did not resolve the issue. Any tips or guidance would be immensely appreciated.

Sorry bro but this was almost half a year ago and by now I've forgotten the repos I tried. From what I recall I tried just about every single repo you can get by doing a google search containing the words "gameplayer, ios and repo".  Some examples are: http://repo.hackyouriphone.org, http://cydia.heaveniphone.com/, and many more. But they were all either dead, or the gameplayer version available on them was not compatible with my ios 5.1. Thanks anyway for the response.
