General Discussion / Hi
Last post by admin - October 02, 2008, 10:31:50 PMWow, I didn't know anyone was still using that. Good to hear that it's still working.
Lately, I've been working on the software that I plan to use in my next car computer. It'll be version 3 of my VCC program. The configuration program and the VDIP support have been written. The TSR still needs some more work, though. Mainly it's a matter of fixing bugs. I might add Car2PC support too. Still debating that one.
I'm definitely going to keep using DOS and MPXPlay. They work so well, I have no reason to switch to anything else.

OBD-II Discussion / OBD Scan software for Multiple...
Last post by admin - April 16, 2008, 06:24:22 PMMy program is a DOS program. It needs a COM port (either COM1 or COM2) in order to run. I don't know if it's compatible with the ELM323 (I'm using the ELM322). I've never tried running it in Windows, so no promises there either.
If you're using Windows, check the device manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", and make sure the USB/Serial converter is listed. Also check under "Ports" to see which COM port number (if any) is being assigned to it.

I've used this information to power an AT motherboard off of sealed lead acid batteries but I'm sure ATX is just as easy. I used a capacitor to delay the rise time of the Power Good signal relative to the others so it was actually consistent, otherwise it refused to POST. I found this forum by searching for something totally unrelated too hehe.

Software Discussion / MPXT
Last post by matthias - April 10, 2006, 01:02:37 PMHi Brent,
I´m still alive, but have been a little busy.
But things are going forward, so version 2 of my Mp3 player will be ready in a few weeks.
V 2 will have plug and play support for tcp/ip network (pci) and plug and play support for ext. usb harddisks. Means just put in a pci network card and V2 will build the entire tcp/ip netowrk connection inkl. dos server function.
MPXPLAY fastlist and MPXT m3u support are included and many features more.
Any one out there who want´s to be beta tester :-)?

Software Discussion / ID3 Tag support
Last post by admin - April 09, 2006, 10:04:55 PMVCC doesn't support ID3 tags, but MPXPlay does. The TSR program doesn't touch the music files, it just reads what MPXPlay has on the screen and uses that. In theory, track naming should still work.
One place where you would have trouble, though, is in the vcc.exe program. It expects to find a file called discinfo.txt, in each album directory. It reads the file to get its album naming information.
Bottom line: Feel free to try it out, but keep in mind that I haven't tested in that configuration.

Software Discussion / ID3 Tag support
Last post by Luca - April 09, 2006, 03:18:07 AMHi all, I'm planning to build an home MP3 player based on MPXPLAY and i find VCC on the web.
Is there any plan to add ID3 tag support?
My player will get music from another computer (I have an home media server with music, photos, films, etc.). As this server will be accessed even by other computer I'd like to keep music files with long filename instead of name like Track1.mp3...)
regards
Luca

Last post by admin - March 21, 2006, 07:19:32 PMI dug around a bit, but I couldn't find any DOS driver for that card, either. The only thing I can suggest is to try running MPXPlay with the -sct command switch, and hope that it is able to recognise the card.
If that fails you could try asking MPXPlay's author to add CS4299 support to MPXPlay. The chances aren't good, though, unless he owns a motherboard (or soundcard) that has this particular chip. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.
