Sentinel-C

[ecotack]

Hi,
I have a dongle labelled Sentinel-C Rainbow, it protects some old DOS software which I need to run on a new Laptop, which doesn't have a parallel port.

After a quick read on here I can only find reference to the Sentinel C Pro. Assuming they where the same I downloaded safenet dumper and clicked dump, but dongle wasn't found. I then installed the driver and clicked dump again, now it is just sitting there 100% one my CPU cores.

Is there an idiots guide to emulating my dongle on the laptop, as I am not sure I know what I am doing?

Its a version A if that helps

Is there only amine76 who can help with this ;)

Nah! Sentinel C/Pro are cracked long time ago and I'm sure many people on this forum can emulate it (need just a simple filter driver); As about your question..well..they don't help you because they don't wanna take ORDER like post from you or anyone else; you must do some work by yourself first and then post questions.

does it help..;)

Not really. I spent a couple of days googling and trying various pieces of software before asking here. All the post I have read refer to Sentinel-C B, Pro, ProSuper or other, mine is a version A. I can not find any reference to version A only (not pro A, just Rainbow Sentinel-C Version A, that's all it says on the dongle).

I assumed some versions where similar and tried the method and software suggested in other posts. I downloaded dumper (from http://www.donglebackup.com/sentsbs.html) and ran it. It said no dongle found try advanced search, which 100% my CPU for about 15 minutes and did nothing.

I have searched throughout this forum and can't find anything that has helped. If someone can point me to a post which will help or offer advice for a "Rainbow Sentinel-C Version A", I would be very grateful.

I have the original software for developing fuelling maps for the 14CUX ECU. Without a dongle emulator I need a laptop with parallel port to try it, plus I may have to give the dongle back at some point. I need to stop my ECU over fuelling when cold, because I do a lot of short journeys and my plugs soon get sooted.

TIA, Andrew

you can find all the info reading the forum..
a quick search in google for "sentinel c dumper" will show you in the first two posts what you need.(and all these pages are from reteam board!)
you have to find
1) what dumper use
2) an emulator for sentinel c plus
reading, you will find also infos by Cengineer and ngoksun that will help you.
bye

The webpage for that dumper says quite clearly that it is for superpro and ultrapro. Sentinel C does not get a mention. This dumper does say it will do Sentinel C but does not mention versions, other than for Sentinel C Plus for which it will do versions A and B. Sure yours isn't a Plus?.

If that dumper works, post the dump here and maybe we can help, depending on it's format.

Hurrah that worked. Thanks Git!

The file it created is:

All the dongle says on it is Sentinal-C, Version A, Rainbow, Technologies Inc, Irvine CA and ^Computer^.

Great, now just follow the info in sparpacillon's post above and you will soon have a working emulator.

Still drawing a blank on a emulator. Sread is the only dumper I have found that has located the dongle, but I can't find an emulator which will use the .SAF file.

I've been problem solving all day at work and I'm starting to get a migraine :confused:

I think I'll call it a day and down some IPA.

One quick question, if the program I am using is DOS, would using VMware help with programs such as Toro Sentinel Monitor?

I dont think that this file can help him Git :D
