[E3-hacking] Some things I have found on the Amstrad E3 while I was pressing different buttons.

Delta_e_live could stand for Delta Emailer Live, why have the name live in its name, so that could be the file that keeps in on and that file after 2 or 3 months gets deleted or it tells the Emailer how long to keep a live for and then the Emailer deactivates itself, maybe that's why if you copy the setup from a Emailer with the config change on to another that's deactivated(not working) it don't activate it because it only copies the setup and not that file.

That file looks important because it has a its own IP address so the Emailer can download it.
http://212.225.36.174/delta_e_live.config and it has a version number - config_a version: 0.
Just some idea.. 😊

I was wondering If the Delta_e_live.config is the file it looks for to keep the E3 activated, its got to be looking for something every time it sends or receives email to keep it alive..????

Interesting, wonder if the info takes any closer to finding a way to hack the hardware and get these machines working again.

I wonder if anyone in the group  is interested in putting in some cash to fund instructing a geek/hacker to see if they can override the hardware?

I found something the other day, if you press SETUP Button then 1 then 1 again, it looks like it comes up with driver info, Picture is here.. https://imgur.com/zjJc2oT<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://imgur.com/zjJc2oT&data=02%7c01%7c%7c21b3b2fc642b4a6ba81208d6b8415f98%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636898988242076956&sdata=fiznopbM60fMlqXiNnWSrIpQc2Sr0YZtcyrwuKkt8Ak%3D&reserved=0>

And if you press SETUP Button then 1 then 0 it has numbers on the Setup Info screen Picture here..  https://imgur.com/VpJRCRt<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://imgur.com/VpJRCRt&data=02%7c01%7c%7c21b3b2fc642b4a6ba81208d6b8415f98%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636898988242086961&sdata=WSY2FgRN6QQ1Rq0tZX2lwZC5pK01izOlNBRDeDAIbyA%3D&reserved=0>
