Powersync struggling with Rom10A88

[Fano]

Hi Guys,
I have had a Powersync for the last 2 years and its been a good servant.
It opens Rom11 cards in a jiffy and used to open every Rom10 that I threw at it using Sidewinder.
It might take a few hours but it did the job.
Lately I have found it struggling with a few Rom10's.
I adjust the pot to set it at 1A,its moving about a bit though.
I find I am getting hardly any Resets per delay ,maybe 1 every 5 delays.
Before I'd get lots of Resets per delay .
I spent ages trying to open one A88,tried different scripts but they all had hardly any resets per delay .
I did open another rom10 pretty easily enough after that but its stuck again on a new one.
I wonder is the Powersync failing me or are these just iffy cards ?
Does the Powersync become unreliable over time,its working fine on the Rom11's though.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Rom 10's You get your good and your bad , I have had personal experience with a Powersync and rom 10 cards are very unpredictable some pop in Min's an others you need to be a bit more patient with. If your still popping rom 11's i wouldn't doubt your Powersync mate.

Mine had trouble with a ROM10 A86, I left it for 4 days and nothing. I tried it again, still nothing. Eventually it fried the card so I just gave up and decided to give it up as a bad job lol.

What flash are you using fano?

had the same A88, beening trying for ever, opens a86 easy, i got into the card put it in stream now a88 and cant open it..
installed sct10en.exe
flashed powersinc with DoubleDTBC flash
DOUBLEDTBC_R10_A86
Glitch Success!! ROM 10 BUGS KILLED
BootLoader ACK Received!!
VCC = 1B (~0.521050980392156 vdc)
Glitch Delay = 0154
Glitch type 08
and now the weired part i opened it about 10 times but when i use nagra it says

BD3 login failed
so it will open them if you flash your powersync but dont no if you can read it in nagra

A88's tend to be images modified with some kind of blocker and/or other code. Glitching them is often difficult because there are so many variations. If the method used in glitching is affected by any of the modifications then the glitch cycle may require totally different timing paramaters.

If its a dealer supplied image and the dealer knows anything about how the glitching cycle works, then its relatively easy for them to code something that will defeat the glitcher.

hi thecoder, i props put a blocker on myself, was learning how to do it lol, i dont need nothing from this card it was something i wanted to learn, so unless i can find the password or something should i just throw it away

Yes thats correct.

Newd11x with Sidewinder

If the method used in glitching is affected by any of the modifications then the glitch cycle may require totally different timing paramaters.

I will have a look at the timing parameters and change them.

I have tried lots of different flashes and scripts,Mikedata,TBC,Progressive flash but they all give hardly any resets .
Perhaps its just bad cards,I think the card is off an old subbed box,a friend came across it.I think it is unmodified.
I'll have a look at the timing parameters later ,see if that makes a difference.
Thanks guys
