Bei R. Belmont steht zu lesen, dass Nicola Salmoria wieder mal ein Kunststück gelungen ist: die Entschlüsselung der Sega MC8123 CPU.
Diese ist für Spiele wie Fantasy Zone 2 und Opa Opa auf dem Sega System E verantwortlich, dessen Spiele ja bekanntlich mittlerweile aufgrund des Alters stark von Batterieproblemen und dem daraus resultierenden Verlust des Encryption-Schlüssels bedroht sind.
EDIT:
..mehr Infos bei Haze:

March 15th, 2007 - Easy as ( 123
Nicola found a weakness in the way Sega generated their keys for the M8123 which made decrypting Fantasy Zone 2 and Opa Opa much easier than anybody had expected. Both games (running on the System E arcade platform) work fine with the SMS emulation from HazeMD. I need to port this over to MAME so that they work properly in MAME too. Aaron should be thanked too for noticing that the FD1094 keys were generated by a Psuedo-Random number generator rather than actually being Random, this was also found to apply to the MC8123 and was the basis of Nicola’s work.
