My quick ramblings...

Not Andy's fault, he's stressing about it more than any of you I bet. Sounds like the programmers are stuffing him around. If they really were interested in doing it they would have at least compiled each CD to match the serial numbers in each of the firmwares of the units. Piracy problem solved. Or used Andy as a distributor. Andy are you even getting a cut? I certainly hope so.

Ok just read this...

His plans are that there will be 2 discs;

Disc 1, will install and produce a unique code that will show on the screen.

That number gets sent to the developer and within 24 hours a the final disc will be ready to download.

Disc 2 is a unique version with the serial number produced from disc 1, encripted in the 2nd disc.

that is the theory, waiting to see the final product.

Cheers

Andy

Why not just get the serial number from the maintenance screen yourself and email it to him to compile the image?

That's not hard to do rather than fartarse around. Can't see anyone changing their rom to pirate the discs if we can't even get the rest working. Has anyone even successfully decompiled their original discs?

Also a long time ago when I was working for a software engineering company with lots of crazy serb programmers who were interested in this project I did look into doing this project. I even called Japan and had a few lengthy conversations with an english speaking guy at xanavi about this just to get some background (Really friendly and accomodating Japs are btw). He basically said that the program was meant to have a function to implement English, but it was released as is at it wasn't important enough to them at the time was the jist of it and they weren't interested in building one for us. But I'm not a business person so if someone wants to put a venture to them.

We've all moved on since then, and I don't really have the time or inclination to be passionately involved, but if someone sends me the 1st disc (not the map disc) that they have(I never got mine) i'll look at it again in my spare time. PM me.

Where are all our software engineers anyway? SAU used to be filled with nerds. I'm happy to pass on what I know.

    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in

    • Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.
