Yes, it doesn't exactly NEED to be dumped, it can be reverse engineeered. There are software patches, there are hardware circumventions but there's a key in that HASP. I was asking for preservations sake. What if someone else has savage quest and their hasp dongle dies? They'd need to pay much extra for a service to find the key or atch past it.
Kinda destroys the preservation thing of mame huh?
You know I treat most people on here with a fair attitude and I expect the same back. Yes, I maybe doing worhtless experiments, but I enjoy it? Ok? I don't expect or deserve to be treated in the same aspect and I certainly wouldn't talk to you like that.
And you know, this random crap I do has gained me a lot of experience with computers and OSes to the point where I was labelled as having been one of the most technical in an interview of an apprenticeship and having helped with my placements easily.
Back on the subject. As I said, you could bypass it, but I'd consider that to be breaking preservation. And further more, a handfull of programs require the HASP dongle.
