Andrew96_ 1681 Posted September 25 It’s not just a pc, it’s a mpu6 attached to it tool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimhakz 0 Posted September 25 What is the purpose of the MPU? I thought it was to handle notes, licensing etc not actually running the software? Can't be as that runs on the windows side? BPAK files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any info on how to get it to boot? barboot.exe doesn't exist... thinking there is some kind of on the fly decompression. Any info helpful as my aim is to get these running without an MPU.

Any info on how to get it to boot? you wont, the hard drive is locked to the machine, if you change it, it won't boot, its part of the measures Barcrest implicated to stop you changing drives so you HAVE to go back to them for a new drive! they also locked the motherboard and graphic card, they are very secure for a old pc!

slimhakz 0 Posted September 25 Have checked the MPU - I can't see this doing much to hinder this working... Just need to crack/patch barboot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
