Last post by matthias - January 20, 2005, 11:07:40 AMHey,
I´ve made it!!!
MPXT and MPXPLAY now goes Wireless.
Dos and a Cisco WLAN card are fully working now.
Pretty cool ;-)

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - January 12, 2005, 10:16:57 PMSal,
In the zip file that you linked to, io.sys hasn't been patched. To patch io.sys, follow the procedure at the end of step 13:
-------------------------------------------------
Next, io.sys on the floppy disk needs to be patched. Open up a DOS window, then enter the following:
attrib a:io.sys -h -r -s
edit /70 a:io.sys
From the "Suchen" menu, select "Suchen...", then type system.dat. Next, change SYSTEM.DAT to SYSTEM.TAT. Goto the "Datei" menu, select "Speichern", then goto the "Datei" menu and select "Beenden". Last, but not least enter the following:
attrib io.sys +h +r +s
attrib msdos.sys +h +r +s
attrib drvspace.bin -h -r -s

Software Discussion / Playlist: fileinfo.cfg not wor...
Last post by matthias - January 12, 2005, 07:03:19 AMFileinfo.cfg needs following syntax:
ANASTA~1.m3u=Anastacia - Anastacia
ANASTA~2.m3u=Anastacia - Freak Of Nature
ANASTA~3.m3u=Anastacia - Not That Kind
AVRILL~1.m3u=Avril Lavigne - 454SS
It´s a helly job to write down all short file names, but you can use the freeware DirReader to create a file list with long and short file names.
Copy the m3u files under plain Dos in another directory to create short named files.
Start Windows,start DirReader and make a filelist of the short and the long filenames
Copy them to Excel and save it as a txt file and copy them to the the cfg and you´re ready.
Takes 15 minutes ;-)

Software Discussion / Playlist: fileinfo.cfg not wor...
Last post by Anonymous - January 11, 2005, 11:49:03 AMHi there,
I have added 300 cd's te my harddrive, all with playlists etc. But now I have a problem with it.
The playlist menu only show the first 8 chars or so, so I added them to the fileinfo.cfg. But still only the short names are showed. So I did all that work for nothing.
My fileinfo.cfg:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Use this to add long filename info for your playlist files.
Syntax is as follows:
filename.m3u=Description to display on LCD
If this file is included, the long names will show up in the playlist
menu when you select, instead of the M3U file.
----------------------------------------------------------
[Playlist]
MPXT.M3U=Last playlist created
MPXTALL.M3U=All Songs in Database
ABBA - More ABBA Gold More ABBA Hits.m3u=ABBA - More ABBA Gold More ABBA Hits
Alicia Keys - Songs in A Minor.m3u=Alicia Keys - Songs in A Minor
All Saints - All Saints.m3u=All Saints - All Saints
...
...
...
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the beta version 4. But I tried using the latest official version with the same results...

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - January 11, 2005, 12:53:02 AMSal,
I lost the boot cd and the boot floppy. I did manage to find the old hard drive, that I was using, so I was able to go through steps 12 to 15. Initially, I had the same error that you mentioned.
I did manage to get it working, though. In fact as I'm writing this, I'm in Windows 95b with no hard drive connected to my computer. :-)
Try renaming dblspace.ini to drvspace.ini
Then change the copy statement in the autoexec.bat:
COPY A:DBLSPACE.BIN R:
to
COPY A:DRVSPACE.BIN R:
In the next day or two, I'll update the boot cd page, to fix some problems that I found.

Software Discussion / MPXT
Last post by admin - January 10, 2005, 12:02:16 AMMatthias:
I gave up trying to figure out why MpXT's IR handling stopped working when shelling out to MPXPlay. MPXPlay's IR handling seems to work ok, so we might as well use it.
I have a new test version of MpXT ready. It's now properly shutting down the com port before shelling out to MPXPlay. I also had to make a couple of minor changes to the format of mpxt.cfg
To test it out:
Setup MPXPlay to use UIR. Configure the mpxt.cfg file like normal, but be sure to specify where MPXPlay.ini is located.
Assuming that I've got all of the bugs fixed, MpXT should be able to load, add, and save the IR codes to MPXPlay.ini :-)

I took a look at your bootdisk. I don't see anything that looks out of place. When I have a little more time, I'll make a generic boot disk, copy your files overtop of it, then try using it to boot my boot cd.
