> I am hoping to possibly get some people interested in doing some 7800 development work. The validation key in the carts is still going to be a barrier to releasing new 7800 carts, but I am looking into a simple 1 or 2 wire mod for the 7800 that would get around this problem. > If we knew enough about the algorithm (is it DES in some form) then maybe we could get a massive internet search going to recover the 7800 encryption key :-) As I recall there's some information about the encryption in one of Atari's patents. It might take a few months but I've seen a few other projects like this to break email messages. The result of this search would be much more useful though...
