Cubase Audio Dongle Clone

[avtandil]

Just to reply, both original and cracks work fine with a real ST from an HD. I have been using an original Cubase on a an HD since the 90s, so it would seem there is an issue with your hardware somewhere. Possibly it is the HuSHi driver which I know nothing about, I only ever use ICD Pro or HDDriver.

Do you still have copy of those drivers? I would like to try instead of mine one.

Here we are, you can find ICD Pro here, as well as a guide which will help on Jookie's site: http://joo.kie.sk/?page_id=306

HDDriver is still a supported and paid for driver by Uwe Seimet: https://www.hddriver.net/

Hi, I got a lot of steinberg softsynth packages and other steinberg items I would like to dump them so I can build dongles if needed. I read most carts are like cubase 2. Can someone point me how cubase 2 is reversed engineerd and maybe are there already jedec files of steinberg dongles ?

Thanks, nativ

Yes the Cubase and CAF programs and cracks are available here:

Cheers Zippy, My clone and original dongle are refusing to be seen by an og cubase 2 disk at the moment ... thought i'd try the softwaresee if that works... would at least isolate it to a cart port issue , though at the moment the midex still lights up

Can anyone help me figure out how to run Cubase 3.10 on Hatari? When I run the crack I get "MROS not found!"
I've tried with EmuTOS 1.2 and 1.2.1, with 2 or 4 MB of RAM, as suggested above. Nothing seems to make a difference.

[Zippy]

Maybe Cubase doesn't work in EmuTOS ??? Have you tried normal TOS versions?

[czietz]

Maybe Cubase doesn't work in EmuTOS ???

See here: https://github.com/emutos/emutos/blob/a ... e.txt#L244.

However, that does not explain the error message "MROS not found".

[dbsys]

Did you check that you have a MROS folder in the Cubase folder and that MROS is placed in its folder?

Can all files functions behave as dongle version.

Can load and save m I d I file

Load save a l l file

?
I found these faults with previous cracks of cube base

Integrate the style works and other .mod

Master score is checking the dongle in a different way from Cubase 3 and Cubase Score and they make a slight attempt to hide the code so not sure what kind of dongle it could be, seems not the same type as Cubase 3 though so maybe just a simple dongle with simple initial check only. Have attached hacked main prog to bypass the initial "No key" report, but whether it works beyond that I'm not sure.

Spirit is doing a similar dongle check to Cubase 3 and Cubase Score (but the dongle is different as we already knew) so have just bypassed the initial "No key" check to allow program to run and then it reports the Spirit hardware is not found anyway. But there are definitely further dongle checks throughout the main code just like with Cubase 3 and Cubase Score so this definitely won't work 100% even if the Spirit hardware was found. Have attached hacked main progs for Spirit16 and Spirit24 just bypassing that initial "No key" check only to allow program to start up.

I just tried Zippys test dongle emu for Steinberg Masterscore under Hatari 2.50 , TOS 2.06, MegaSTE. Masterscore II loads but not all options from the menues show up and when opening a score (.not) nothing is showing up on the screen. Thank you Zippy for your incredible efforts on all of this!

Yes that's expected 'cause only the initial dongle check was removed to stop the "No key" error and allow the program to run. We'd need an original Masterscore 2 dongle to see if it can be hacked fully and an emulator made.

It seems like a very rare program so I don't think anyone ever came forward saying they had a dongle for it.

[Zippy]

I had another look at Masterscore II and sure enough I found 3 more hidden dongle reading routines, each one called from 2 separate places in the code. And of course all called multiple times when the program is running, so similar to Cubase 3 in that respect. The dongle access is quite different though, more like Notator, so once again an emulator may not be feasible.

Cloning the dongle may be possible if someone has one they can spare or would sell, if so send me a PM.

I would just like to add that. I tested the program for a few hours yesterday for my first time.

Steem build 3
Tos 1.02
I used the patcher plus score. And alarmingly accurate, very grateful This has been released to the public.
Thanks very much

Any chance that
sound surfer
sound diver?
Logic three will ever be patched?

Are you saying that on your machine Masterscore 2 worked 100% accurate with Zippies patch?

No, I think he's talking about the Cubase 3 (Score) crack or possibly the CAF (Cubase Audio Falcon) crack, which apparently he's just found.

The Masterscore 2 test version definitely doesn't work properly as only the initial dongle check was removed as that was all I found with a quick initial look. Have now confirmed there are multiple additional hidden dongle checks with the resulting reads used in calculations similar to Cubase 3, so the old "Internal error" message pops up and the program malfunctions all over.

Never heard of Sound Surfer and Sound Diver. If anyone has dongles for these please post up pictures including the inside if possible.

The Notator dongle and the Log 3 interface have been cloned and can be re-created, but there's no dongle emulation crack for Notator as it's probably not possible to do it in the same way as the Cubase dongle was emulated.

First thing to do on errors like this, is to run Hatari from console with "--trace os_base" option, to see whether the files that the program is trying to open, are in directories / named as it expects.

Sound Surfer and Sound Diver were not dongle protected, they were key-disk protected. Some clues as to how the key disk protection worked have been mentioned here previously - unfortunately my master disk wiped out its installable protections within minutes so I always had to have the disk in the drive before it would run, so I’ve never been able to run it virtually.

[Zippy]

Here's Sound Surfer cracked main file to test.

It uses the same disk protection as the Cubase Studio module, easy once I noticed that as I just did that one a few days ago.

The Sound Surfer install.prg has the same protection, I removed that too but it still doesn't work as it's looking for certain files on A:\ which aren't there on the version I found but that's not really protection I don't think. But you can just use this main file and it works anyway, so not sure there's really a need to "install" it. Maybe this version was already "installed".

If someone can find Sound Diver I can take a look at that as well, maybe it also uses this same protection.

Here's where I found the Sound Surfer files :

but no working links for Sound Diver I could find, anyone have it?
