 Any luck on replicating this?  If you need any help with it, I can 
 assist... I haven't tried on actual metal; only
 on the emulator.  But, I don't know why it would be any different, and 
 looking at the code, it does seem to be
 missing the hook.  Maybe I'm missing something here?  If there's a 
 workaround, or I am doing something wrong, please
 let me know.
 
 Thanks,
