modding a 79

I have a hitachi 79 that im trying to mod. ok so i got it into mode b and got the podger cd working and succesfully read the key. so then i proceded to flash it. everything went ok without errors.

So i put in some of my backup games (which work on my other modded console) and they dont work. my hitachi does seem to read original games fine.

I then thought that it wasnt modded correctly or the firmware never when on. I cant get toolbox to read the firmware off it any more even tho it is being detected in windows.

Any ideas how i can get the drive key off my hitachi?

ive tried it with another pc and it still froze after i did the 79unlock i dont even know if the drive was successfully modded. is there any program that you can use to check if you have succesfully unlocked the 79? please help i spent 7 hours trying to get this working yesterday.

if you have the key
spoof in a different drive
just to make sure that is the right key

if it is playing orig games then its not hurt
something must have changed in your pc set up
for it not see your drive now.
