...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.

Hi !

thanks so much windoze for your work, it works so well.

Tested and work on a G4 with Mac Os 9.2.2:
- Logic 2.5.4 (68k)
- Logic Audio 2.5.1, 2.6 (68k & PPC), 2.6.2 (68k), 2.6.6
- Logic Audio 3.0, 3.0.17
- Logic Audio Platinum 3.6, 3.7, 3.7.2
- Logic Audio Platinum 4.5.1, 4.6.3, 4.7, 4.8.1

Not working on Logic 2.0, Logic 2.5.0, it freeze the system when launching.

At start I install the Logic XSkey Driver for the 4.8.1 and I put the USBManangerLib in the system folder because it says that it need the xskey when booting mac os 9 to launch 4.8.1.

It was strange that it works on versions that use the ADB Dongle, if you have an explanation, I would like to know.

Do you know where to find the Logic 2.5 PPC ? hard to find on my side ...
