Default Which are decode-able, I am surprised you guys havent cracked these!

They can all be decoded easily and transferred to a plain chip that is copyable by anyone w/expertise and the machine. All these can be cracked, I wont do it, but I am surprised someone here hasnt crated a chip archive of sorts. I havent been 2 involved in the 1.8t chips, but the urs4 community has a good library. For those that are really sharp, there are some emulators, etc. out of England that will use a cracked chip and let you do mods yourself.

Default Obviously. I respect the programmers enough to pay for their work, and while I'll burn my own chips

I'd never release .bins of a company's product. That is their livelihood.

Default I didnt advise ripping them off, but you can see a lot of where the code is and what needs to be cha

nged if you have the code. There are systems which do Mortonic code for sale out there for those hoo r adventuresome.
