Upgrading a Megatouch Maxx

[Mattpsu03]

Does anyone know if it's worth it to upgrade a Megatouch MAXX from Jade 2 to Crown? It's only 1 version newer. Having trouble finding out which games are added, or what other differences there are. Also would Crown run on 64MB? Jade 2 appears to run just fine on that.

Yes I think from the number of newgames it's worth it

Thanks, I did actually happen to find a Crown hard drive plus key. Just waiting for it to arrive. Now I'm wondering what do us megatouch owners do when the battery eventually dies in the security keys for these...

There's a Crown disk image that doesn't require a key.

Where? All I could find were references to a keyless Jade version...

It took years of asking, but eventually someone shared it with me.

Jade
Sapphire and crown are keyless

I would love to be proactive and prepare for the time when my Crown key will eventually die. Any way I can have access to the Crown version?

 

[gavinlew]

Only downside with Crown keyless is 2 games have additional security checks which have not been patched.

i need to find a new megatouch. I had one that i played a lot but it was pretty thrashed and i gave it away when i sold a galaga. Need to find a more fresh one. thanks for the reminder.

If anyone has the Crown keyless, I would be interested and willing to pay a little something for it.

I had the Crown keyless and it booted fine but 2 games (Tri-Towers and Photo Hunt) ended up locking up with a "security key mismatch" error after playing for a while. More games might have security key checks, those 2 were just the ones I experienced. So I went back to using my security key and the real version. Hoping someone can patch it so the key checks are gone.... until then I just hope the key battery holds out. It has to die eventually.

Crown keyless only has 2 security key checks , tri-towers and photo hunt
Jade and Sapphire are 100% fine.

drop me a pm.

My son just found that Word Dojo, and Travel Wiz also get the key check message.

 

[Mattpsu03]

Ah, good to know. Hopefully someone can patch it sometime before the key batteries all die. Crown is a great version.

Yep, talk to Gavin.

He hooked me up!

I now have a Mega Touch MAXX Multi with both Emerald and Jade versions on an MicroSD switcher.

And if anyone needs some artwork, $20 shipped!

FS Parts: - Mega Touch Artwork $20 shipped

Just looking to get rid of this as I don't need it. Everything in the pics and about 6 random pieces of side art as well (side art is in OK condition) for $20 shipped. :cool:(y) :) .

I'm curious, is there anything about the Emerald you like that the Jade doesn't have? It's my understanding that the newer versions just keep adding games while retaining things from the previous versions….

Found this thread after talking to someone about the crown image. Lol someone gave out my crown image I made I guess. I know it's mine because I didn't fix the bad games by mistake...I have since made a fully working one. Dm me if interested.
