Apple has the opportunity to do something really cool here! An emulator going by the name of Classipod has been doing the rounds on the Google Play Store, letting you run an iPod Classic style interface on any Android phone of your choosing. The only problem is that Apple never really made a 9:20 iPod Classic. Every iPod Classic had a short, stout design and as it stands, there are only two Android phones that currently fit this bill, and both fold.

A video on Instagram showed the Classipod interface on a Galaxy Z Fold8 and I can’t help but feel like this almost exactly looks like the classic iPod. The proportions are damn near perfect, the interface still makes me nostalgic, and those color options absolutely slap! The only real problem is that, like all good things, Classipod came to Android before it did to the iPhone Duo… but if someone from Apple’s software team is reading this (hey Craig!), just go ahead and give us an Apple Music skin that brings back the iPod Classic! Pretty please??

Here’s what I find so funny about running Classipod on a Z Fold8 – sure, it almost matches the iPod Classic’s form factor, but even when folded shut, it’s still thinner than the iPod! I’m talking hinge, two sets of screens, two batteries, an entire processor, cameras galore, all that packed into something that measures 9.7mm thick while the iPod Classic, which is just a tiny screen, battery, SoC, and a massive flash drive, measures 10.5mm in thickness. Then again, the iPod Classic packs an aux input too, which you’ll never see on a foldable phone.

But hold the Z Fold8 in your hand and the Classipod definitely scratches the itch of owning vintage Apple gear. The weight and heft, the analog interface, and that gorgeous jogwheel that is sure to get your muscle memory kicking in instantly. You sideload music so it plays locally (no streaming), and you can do everything, from searching for artists to making playlists. And yes, if you’re asking, the jogwheel has haptic feedback so it actually does feel like the iPod of yesteryears.

There are a few iPod emulators on the App Store, but none as good as the Classipod. I guess someone could vibecode one overnight and run it on an iPhone Duo soon, but until then, turns out the most faithful recreation of an iPod Classic exists… just on an Android device!

En mai 1996, sur le forum Usenet consacré à Quake , des joueurs prenaient déjà les paris... Le jeu n'était pas sorti, le CD non plus, et la question qui tournait en boucle à l'époque c'était : combien de temps tiendrait la protection anti-copie du jeu ? Certains misaient deux semaines après la sortie, d'autres 5 jours maximum...

De son côté, id Software s'apprêtait à presser son shareware sur un disque mais Quake n'occupait que 22 Mo des 640 disponibles. Du gâchis de place ? Pas vraiment puisque le reste du CD a été rempli avec tout le catalogue maison. Des jeux complets en versions chiffrées, c'est-à-dire plusieurs DOOM, Final Doom, Hexen, Heretic qu'on déverrouillait par téléphone...

Source

Le CD est finalement sorti le 30 août 1996 et le concept était bien pensé, sur le papier en tout cas... Le programme affichait un nombre de onze chiffres, les Américains appelaient le 1-800-ID-GAMES, un opérateur encaissait la thune et donnait en échange un numéro de déverrouillage à retaper. Le premier nombre changeait à chaque lancement et tournait toutes les 5 minutes, précisément pour qu'un code ne puisse pas servir deux fois.

Mais le 8 octobre suivant, coup de tonnerre ! Le groupe GNOMON sortait QCRACK.EXE pour faire tout sauter ! Ça n'aura pris que 39 jours !

source

Ce qu'ils avaient compris, c'est que le numéro donné au téléphone ne contenait aucun secret. Il attestait simplement du paiement et de rien d'autre. Le programme livré sur le CD savait fabriquer ce numéro tout seul à partir de celui qu'il venait lui-même d'afficher, et son seul travail consistait donc à comparer les deux.

Toute la protection tenait, comme souvent, dans le fait que personne n'était censé regarder comment ça fonctionnait.

Source

Toutefois, ce mécanisme de vente n'était pas vraiment une bourde d'id Software. Eux n'étaient que les clients de TestDrive Corp, qui vendait cette solution brevetée .

Et ce brevet expliquait très précieusement comment ça fonctionnait... Le poste de l'utilisateur produit un numéro, l'opérateur distant le valide et renvoie un code d'activation, et c'est le poste de l'utilisateur qui vérifie ce code. Le brevet va même jusqu'à donner son exemple, à savoir un numéro dont les chiffres totalisent 10, et un code de retour dont les chiffres totalisent 15.

La faille était donc déposée à l'office des brevets quatre ans avant que le CD arrive en rayon.

Le reste raconte quand même une fin de production difficile. La base qui associe chaque jeu à son identifiant contenait également une faute de casse sur Final Doom, "Final" au lieu de "final", ce qui envoyait la génération du code chercher le mauvais fichier. Résultat, le client qui appelait et payait pour Final Doom n'arrivait pas à le déverrouiller.

Alors que le pirate, lui, y arrivait à tous les coups !

Et si je vous raconte tout ça c'est surtout parce que Fabien Sanglard s'est amusé à redémonter le CD-Rom cet été , et qu'il y a aussi trouvé de jolies surprises comme une version en clair de cette base posée juste à côté de sa version chiffrée + des fichiers temporaires et des sauvegardes d'éditeur oubliés au pressage.

Je vous invite vraiment à lire son analyse, c'est super intéressant !
