XL Question
cc17926:
Hi Guys,
New to the forum. Figure I would preface this question by saying I have two systems. One is an XL 6000, which I have successfully downsized from the massive chassis (which doesn't fit in the house) along with CF card operation (I can include pictures and description of operation if anyone is interested in this).
I also have a Platinum system, which runs off an old traditional hard drive. I am having a problem with the key SA3046-01 failing to start into the system, which could be dead. I have attempted to clean, and re-seat the key adapter board, and even another IO board to no avail. Is there a known way to bypass the key by patching the megacdll executable to not check for it? Are there working replacement keys available?
I appreciate any insight to get the Platinum XL system back up running again!
Thank you!

There was a guy who hacked the older XL megatouch keys. Here is a presentation video he did.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the reply. I have actually watched this video a few times, and it is very interesting. Thanks for passing this along for anyone who may be reviewing this thread from the future. While it might be possible to utilize a logic analyzer and record the communication with the ibutton key, and utilize the output for either a replay attack or making a new key, I however do not have a working key to start with.
If there is a repository for key data to remake the key, that would be great, but I am fearful that this never happened.
Any other thoughts on how to get the software started again?
Thank you!

I want to move mine to a CF , Already have the adapter and a 4Gb CF card. Mines a 6000XL bartop running Titanium software (which I believe is the last version for this unit?) be interested to hear your story.

Sure thing! Keep in mind, the 6000 software runs on a CD, and the Titanium runs on HDD. My move was 6000 from CD to CF Card. If I recollect from what others have said, all of the HDD versions have some form of drive check that Merit has in the game. I can still discuss the method that pertained to my specific scenario. I'll type up what I done, and post that here in about an hour or so.
