In case anyone is interested, ZED has agreed to sell me his starlight unit. IDK if he wants the amount that he sold it to me for disclosed, but I will keep it private for now.
I am going to be doing a live stream hacking event on this kiosk and hopefully getting the game loader ISO from it. It should be rather straight forward to do using a WODE. I could not do it in my previous attempts as I did not have the Controller Select PCB, which is essential to unlocking the internal hard drive.
I am hoping ZED can get this out to me within the next week or so. Either way, there are too many people looking forward to me working on this and figuring out it's last few little secrets.
I will post a link in here to my live stream once I schedule it, but if you are interested then make sure to keep an eye on my website ConsoleBytes for more information. A complete write up will eventually be done on what I discover and everything that I extract will be shared from my private file server for everyone to check out.
I thank you all, and an extra special thanx to ZED for still having this unit once I contacted him and for being willing to sell it to me for these research purposes.
Take care, and until the live stream, happy gaming and happy hacking.

EDIT: This has been canceled. After searching for a starlight kiosk for a decade and finally finding a way to get my hands on one, someone else just fully hacked one a few days back completely negating any reason for me to get this anymore.
