If it's about cracking the product, no, it shouldn't require the system hardware (though I freely admit that I'm no expert here either). Also, read below for more... >However, we do know that the 7800 Monitor cart approach of slipping >through the back-door does work [...] Assuming there IS a back door, of course. For the 7800, luckily, there is. But I'd stil love to hear that someone cracked the real deal anyway... >and the similar technique that Carl Forhan uses on the Jag. Except isn't he using hardware to blow out the encryption check in some way?

Anyhow, is the key even bigger on the Jaguar, the same, or smaller? I guess one could take a similar approach to encrypting 7800 games. -- //*================================================================++ || Russ Perry Jr 2175 S Tonne Dr #105 Arlington Hts IL 60005 || || 847-952-9729 slapdash@xxxxxxxxxxxx VIDEOGAME COLLECTOR! || ++================================================================*// -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
