so, installed it on a fresh machine which has never seen the dongle, but where the cp drivers of course are present.

it is more than 15 years ago that i used a legit 1.6 so it would be impossible to notice a minor difference, but from what i can tell, it 100% works as it should (and minor difference are not to be expected i guess)

after a revision in 4 weeks from now i would give it a go. however, only 3-4 people might be not enough.

i would like see a tester using an older mac without native USB port.

an older mac without native USB port.

Power Macintosh 9600 (and other 1997 beige Power Macs)

@Architecture dont you have a beige g3 going?

[Knezzen]

I've tried it on my 8600 (same as a 9600 but with fewer USB ports) and it works just fine

The 8600 and 9600 share architecture (same logic board family and chipset), but neither has USB — that only came later with the Blue & White G3 (Jan 1999)

I think Knezzen meant fewer PCI slots.
8600 has other other stuff that replaces 3 of the PCI slots of the 9600: built in graphics, and video in/out.

Yeah, too tired when I wrote that.

the 8600 had 8600 slots where you could stick up to 8600 USB cards in.

that is why it is so big and why they never made an iwatch version of it.

bartender give me what this guy is having... right now!

Tested on a Power Mac G4 "Sawtooth" running Mac OS 9.04, 9.1, and 9.2.2.
Everything works perfectly!
I have a license for Nuendo 1.6,
but I don't see any difference; the crack works flawlessly.
Thanks a lot, Windoze!

[smilesdavis]

wanna sell me the dongle?

[AtariMan]

I'll think about it.
Here's a screenshot from my account.

Please Windoze explain the inner part of the trick. Did you exclude iLok check from Nuendo code or made an iLock emulator?

What PACE does is encrypting the binary and wrapping it with their own code.
The wrapping code checks the license then decrypts the original binary and executes it.
I basically decrypted the original binary and saved it without the PACE code.
So this is as close as you can get to the original binary before they applied the protection.

Obviously this is very simplified as otherwise PACE / iLok would have been cracked all the time back in the day.
Also some developers use additional checks before wrapping it with PACE so they have to be cracked too after unpacking.

like they still do it today.

nuendo 12 is currently on sale with 50% discount, btw.

[smilesdavis]

it doesnt look as cool as Nuendo 1
it doesnt run powerpc only abandoned plugins

it supports 128 cores under windows.

[MacTron]

Nuendo 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 are now [k'd] and available on the Hotline-Server.
It can be found under Audio -> Recording & Sequencing -> Nuendo.

Awesome, thanks windoze, great work! 

Steinberg was pushing the PC version pretty hard and was focused on Windows at the time; they released an extremely stable PC version BEFORE the mac version.  This was the first time that a Windows product was released before the Mac version.  When I finally got my hands on the mac version, it was obvious the coding NOT at the same level as far as stability and performance of the PC version.  It was apparent that Steinberg was banking on a Windows future and left a skeleton crew to port over the code for the mac version.

That's right. I had to left the 1.5 version because it's unstability. Even it couldn't reopen some of its own project files!
