...and I'm still proud of the resulting emulator.

You should be! It's awesome! I lost my blue XSKey in moving a few years ago and have yet to find it anywhere. This just works and there's no need for the XSKey anymore :)

Yes I still want to make an OS X version. I already got it partially working but not good enough for a general release.
I don't have that much time for it at the moment so it will take some time until it is finished.

Windoze,
thank you for your work.
It's running perfectly with Logic 5 and 6 including TDM plugins with PT5.
I'm so excited that I no longer need to worry about losing xskey and can use it on several systems at a time.
The only piece that's missing for me in OS9 is USB MIDI Class Compliant devices support. But I understand, this is not a wish list for Christmas :)

I believe it was a lot of work to get xskey emulated. I appreciate if you could share a story behind it. What did it take to emulate it, what tools didn't you have to use, etc. Thanks again.

Hi!

Yes it was a lot of work :)

I got in contact with one of the guys that decapped and reversed the atari cubase dongle.
They managed to extract the firmware of the microcontroller on the xskey.
After that it was basically understanding the assembly code of the xskey and reimplementing it in c.
This is of course very abbreviated.
