Megatouch XL Gold ISO
« on: January 06, 2017, 05:12:49 am »
Not sure if this is the place to ask or if I am even allowed to ask, but does anyone have a Megatouch Gold ISO that they could share with me?

Request fulfilled, check your e-mail. He contacted me thru meritgames.com as well as spamming about 5 threads here.

If possible, could you hook me up with the latest Titanium ISO?

AFAIK nobody has shared the ISO or a HDD image. I remember a few members almost resorting to buying a HDD on ebay which just so happens to be a hacked version. I am pretty sure Megatouchmike does not have the ISO.

Doesn't that require new hardware?

Didn't we discuss hacking Force over at Klov? You should know how to bypass the hardware checks. You just need a i810 mobo. The 13 inch CRT will work but you will need to replace the SMT-3 controller with a EXII , any serial/usb will work. As far as the IOboard, im sure you can bypass it.

LOL we have. But I am trying to just get these units working and have some fun while doing it:P

I have a copy of platinum from one of my units and I have a working key. Working on writing the code to dump the key now.

Saw it but thats using hardware. I don't want to do that, I am writing ASM to handle it. Thats how the loaders work for the linux versions.

Thx though

LOL, I wish I had the knowledge to rework the linux kernel they used.

I am writing a ASM patch that will call fopen / fread. Someone on KLOV is doing a talk on this already but I am doing my own work as that how I learn.

This will be used to patch Megatouch Gold / Platinum to work without keys.

I will check what XL versions i have. I will admit, I have only looked into the linux versions. I can tell you for fact that all XL versions are dos. The first linux version was Maxx Emerald. I have not senn titanium so i cant say for sure but i am doubting its linux.

Yeah this Mark guy did some nice work on the old XL ibutton keys. But the data he analyzed was not encrypted. Merit encrypted the data on the ds1991 keys sometime post maxx and into force until they switched to ds1995/96 keys. While still encrypted, the ds1995/96 keys were not password protected.

Because TASMx is a macro assembler it is *extremely* flexible to meet your needs. Once of the major enhancements provided by writing some macros is that it now supports simple C style logic and loops. If you have programmed in assembly you can appreciate how this will eliminate hundreds of local labels. begin

        ifmi                            ;yes, must look for slow down

Isn't it possible to emulate the dallas dongles in software? In such case, you could read out an existing one and emulate it's behavour. The game wouldn't notice it's a "software dongle"

I have an XL Gold with a CD drive....In the XL manual, it shows that the key I have (SA3039-01 R00) will only work with a hard drive.... Anyone have the Gold ISO? or can I just make one from the cd? Thanks in Advance for the help...

it is possible to emulate the IO board but that would take writing a kernel driver and reversing the hardware interface.
It's easier just to patch the code not to read from the key but read from the hard drive itself.

Ok so for the ION devices there are some fixes available. But how about the 5000/6000 series. What happens when the dallas dies on those?
I know they can be fitted with hard drives (some more than others, shock mount errors et all.) but how about dead dallas?

Are you referring to the Dallas nvram chips? I don't have much knowledge about the really old Megatouches that used the Chips , but i do recall there being two that were needed.
