I'm interested to see how this would work, and what the 'other' file is that is lamely xored. only boot.bin is affected by magic gate on system246, it loads another file within the FS which is a lamely xored ELF file, and that one is the game boot.When extracting boot.bin and looking at it, there is a lot of what looks like possibly encrpyted/compressed data with some words that are broken up.

The python source code for mymc.py which can list these files is here: This contains some files that are clearly ELFs (TK4GAME for example), and others that I'm unsure what format they are (boot.bin, TK4LOAD). The memory card dump can be displayed, and so the entire thing isn't encrypted.
I am aware that there is some sort of magicgate protection applied to these memory cards, but I am unaware at what level this is applied or how it works. So my question is, what about `boot.bin` in the arcade dongle dump is not right? What makes a file 'right'? It'll also display this if you change `mc0:boot.bin` to something that it has on the room e.g `rom0:TESTMODE`, as it can access it but it's not 'right' (whatever right means).

When it cannot load this file it'll display a series of different error messages depending on why:ĭongle Driver Load Fail - I made it display this by changing mc0:boot.bin to cdrom0:boot.bin, you can guess what this means.ĭongle Card Does Not Exist or Is Not Right - It will display this if there is no memory card inserted, or one that is 'curroupted'.īoot File Not Exit - It'll display this with a blank memory card inserted.īoot File Is Not Right - It'll display this when an arcade dongle dump is inserted. This is boot.bin on the memory card in slot one.
The program the bios will try to load is `mc0:boot.bin`. For example `rom0:TESTMODE` refers to a TESTMODE binary in the bios (the test mode binary just displays colour bars), `mc0:boot.bin` refers to a file called boot.bin on a memory card in the first slot. The bios loads from the memory card in slot one, so make sure you insert it there in the emulator.Īs a side note: In the bios it refers to files with the medium they are on, a colon and then the file name.
Images of the dongles can be found here: After the BIOS boots, it tries to load a program from the 'dongle' which is a magicgate memory card.
