let me get this straight...someone wrote an update script that when you apply it (install it) to the megatouch it causes the free credits when you play a song, or is there just simply an issue with the software?!

--- End quote ---

When the megatouch OS (linux) is initializing (booting up) it looks for an update via usb. If it finds one it runs it(bash script). If you write a bash script to add/change/delete files, it does so. Some files are crc checked, but the OS has a built in checksum update for patches when they are needed. If you know where the "credits.xml" file is located you can replace it with one that has "99999" credits, and Bingo!, You might be busy playing songs/games for awhile.  ;D >:D

that is 100 percent correct
it is a simple bash script,on a usb stick
which if u tied into touchtunes,u can if u want load from the juke or the other way around..hence the reason i either disable the usb port or just un-hook it
and u correct on boot ion's and the like chk the usb and will run it after post..

mahkeymike:
I dont have access to a touchtunes juke so i could not verify if its possible to do it from the juke, but i have added credits to my ion via usb. And as far as i know, if a tt is linked to a mt it will use the credits from the mt.

ed12:
oh heck yes
with a tt u can boot from a usb stick and or copy out the history
and info and place it on another gen3/4 box
same goes with cross booting/crediting

mahkeymike:
The funny thing about this credit hack is that of all the files to protect, that credits file has no protection whatsoever.  :laugh2:
