Some more collective facts about eMate:
A Date Fix for the eMate:
There have been two update fixes for the Newton over the years. The first happened in 2010, and later in 2025 when THAT patch expired 15 years later, another patch was created for another 15 years (to 2040).
Here are the details on that:
"Alright, after needlessly fiddling with BasiliskII (I really needed to
have it run MacOS 8.1!) and a bit of sloppiness, here's the updated
patch for the Y2010 problem for eMates:
40hz.org/downloads/Patch-732000.zip
As before, I would definitely recommend to wait with patching until
people who can safely wipe the patch have tried it out and reported
success. Wiping an eMate is done the same way as with the MessagePads,
give it a MP2x00 ROM board and it will clear the internal flash.
Unfortunately, this patch has the same missing feature as the patch for
the German MessagePads, the time will always reset to Jan 1st 2024
after a reset or power loss. That's something left for a rainy day.

Sooooo I think it is high time we get a new Android version of Einstein.
Currently looking at the mod archive and I believe I have found the perfect search for new mod music for the Newton.
modarchive.org/index.php?request=search&...ongtitle&page=1#mods
2064 pages at roughly 40 mods each is about 82,520 mods! That is very beast. See what cool tracks we can find. If you like .mod music join the search. Find one you like let me know and we'll try to convert it.
Most .mod files tend to work but our mod player did still have some limitations. We'll just have to try it.

I've been a huge fan of .mod files ever since Roger Milne made the modplayer for the Newton. Suddenly a whole HUGE world of music was available, and I've been able to convert some. Here is a place I'd love to talk about how to convert .mod files, and exchange some .mod files we converted to work on the Newton!
I created a mod for
Parker Lewis Can't Lose which I uploaded to Unna
.
More to come, but please, I would love to try some mods others have made too.
Let's get those mods flyin!
