Ucreate – what is available to look at
When I installed the manager it created a UCreateMusic directory in my Documents directory in OSX.
This contains these sub directories:
Config contains settings.xml this snippet of xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Setting> <Version>3</Version> <DomainSite>http://music.myucreate.com</DomainSite> <Startup>YES</Startup> <HideOver>NO</HideOver> </Setting>
Filter contains .ufx files, the Loop directory contains .lop and .sng files and logs contains a rather interesting log file in txt format.
The log contains stuff like this…

If there is anything else that someone needs to see that I can provide let me know, not sure if there are usb device sniffers or the like that might help.
I do still hold out for a warm welcome from Radica/Mattel and then all of this probably will be irrelevant.
ILOVE UCREATE
Do you think it would possible to change the website address to open a different website. A new website that we create using the same methods they us. Only difference being, we can change out all the loops with our own or share loops with each other.
Thanks,

WOHA !
That is a great idea.
It’s trivial to use /etc/hosts to redirect any connection to…
http://music.myucreate.com/download.aspx?resourceid=193
to actually point at a local resource on your own machine (you’d probably need to be running a service of sorts).
The issue will come in if there is a handshake (maybe we just target specific deep directories so the lower level stuff still works), or if there is any sort of validation or hash comparison of the files downloaded.
I’ll take a look at this this weekend for sure. Great idea.
I added tones using the weird .lop folder switching out the lop files. It’s nerve-racking. Has anyone thought of a better way? Maybe I’ll try replacing teh entire folder. Its there any way to make it download from a different folder?
