Freelauncher Is Not Encrypted To Your Gp32

I just recieved an email from my buddy, asnwering (hopefully) any questions you nay-sayers may have regarding the Freelauncher app, and its alleged encryption to one's own GP32:
Dear nay-sayers,

As you know there is currently a discussion about the freelauncher for
the
GamePark videogame system entitled GP32. When said device was brought
out
onto the market there was quite an uproar at the Gamefaqs Gameboy
Advance
board. Leading the charge was none other than Jsimmions, who was
considered
at that time as a lunatic by many at that board, but that is besides
the
point. The Jsimmions convinced many people to "jump on the boat" with
him.
I was interested but never could find the money to purchase the device.
Several years later and two of my friends had purchased the GP32.
Those
friends being Viper20184 and Telcolou. This year I finally decided to
put
forth the money and buy the device, this was ofcourse after many
intense
conversations with the three named individuals. The day finally came
and I
was without an internet connection. Over the summer I was in an area
where
getting a decent internet connection was very tough and expensive. One
day
I got on the internet at a Holiday Inn and I got Telcolou to send me
some
programs for the GP32. Those programs were LittleJohn0.4 and the
Freelauncher program. I installed both and had no problems at all.
The
computer I ran transferred from was a G759 laptop with a 266mhz
processor
running Windows Xp. This has worked flawlessly the entire 5 months I
have
had my GP32. The only glitches I encountered was when the batteries
were
dying/dead, and that could hardly be Telcolou's fault, unless he plans
on
sending me batteries... However every program for the GP32 that
Telcolou
has sent me, the ones mentioned along with a textviewer, an old build
of
opensnes (.2 I think), and the pclink/host program, have worked
splendidly.

Having said that I give you my word that all that is written above is
true
and not a work of fiction. If you don't believe me, or Telcolou, then
I
don't know what to say, other than its working and my girlfriend is
playing
Baku Baku right here beside me as I type this.

.. of course, sceptics will de-bunk this as non-proof, but it's all I have to go on, and I believe him.
 
You could have sent him the cracked freelauncher floating around on ed2k. It doesn't really matter what you say though (I actually believe you, there are better things to lie about) because free launcher does require encrypting for >99.9% of people.
 
Will do :D

I'm not home ATM, so this may have to wait until tomorrow, unless fastbilly can post it ...

Edit: For the record, this is the freelauncher I got when I registered my FLU, about a year ago ...
 
Maybe their ID creating algorythm messed up and gave out 2 with identical PDUID?

Though the chances, I'd have thought, of both you and your friend getting ones like that would be astronomical...
 
Strange! My first GP32 got broken so I got a new one but I couldn't run the freelauncher from my old GP32 on the new one...

There are loads of GP32s around with the identical PDUID acbeb1b8b7a6aab4acbeb1b8b7a6aab4

I often wondered why they would spend time encrypting a free program.
Because the original fw can only launch encrypted software.
??

I think not, what about all the emulators and home-brew games? They're not encrypted ... :huh:

Now THAT'S interesting... Do you have any idea why?
That would mean that the commercial games for one machine would run on others, too... OMG!

These are bad news indeed. IMHO, there are already enough pirated games for GP32 circulating...

Some are... e.g. Pinball Dreams.
It didn't sell too good, thus we most probably will never get the much better Pinball Fantasies.
According to some eMails I had with Logikstate last year, it's finished. They wanted to release it with the European Launch.
I tried eMailing them again a few weeks ago - without an answer :(

I emailed them about it a few days ago, with the same result :(
Their website has had a redesign recently too and it no longer mentions anything about the gp32 :(

I have no idea why.. I have just seen this from the #gp32 !encrypt trigger
logs. So I bet it's just the top of iceberg what I have seen..
