The raw byte data from the scanned card is this: Track 1: FF1452DB7C339EBE9E044F87B31C0FDF3343B8E335DB28219306B111833A9D73FF9F1E370F1C330506133AD2CB5F4B400436D57C0308FC66A13B11CC28E674934F4BE7AD82A5FF8D Track 2...

I got my used card and was able to solve the data format completely!! Here are my findings... First, the cards are written right-to-left, which is typically backwards from normal US readers and my MSR605X device. So you have to scan the card backwards or you will get incorrect data (because of...

I was able to find one that was unlisted after asking a few sellers on eBay - $13. Happy for it to arrive and I can continue on my project :)

After asking a lot of people, I was able to source a used ID3 card ^^ Once that arrives and I've had time to analyze the data, i'll report back my findings

Hi, looking for a USED Initial D1, D2, or D3 (preferred) card for a project i'm working on over here regarding the raw byte data on these cards: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/naomi-2-chihiro-triforce-card-reader-emulator-initial-d3-wmmt-mario-kart-f-zero-ax.814/page-43#post-370107 I...

This would be excellent if it also applies to ID3. Then I could just write 01 hex before my payload data and the reader would left shift the bits by one, and everything would be accurate. I tried to look on ebay for a used card shipping from the US and didn't find one. I messaged some sellers...

https://jacobo.tarrio.org/2014/how-magnetic-stripe-cards-work.html Here is a nice and detailed explanation of how magstipes can be read. A relevant paragraph is Standards exist like the ISO format to make the data readable "automatically". Initial D doesn't use ISO format i'm guessing - but it...

I imagine the start/end sentinels is something the ID3 reader machine handles without needing instructions from a higher up software layer. But it appears that all standard magstripe formats begin with a byte where the first bit is 1 so that the reader can register a voltage change at the proper...

I really enjoyed reading through this thread. I'm new here (hello) and am a software engineer but really like exploring the hardware side of arcade machines too. I'm interested in how the Initial D3 magnetic stripe cards get written to on a raw byte level. Ultimately, my project goal is to take...
