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 :-)

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - January 09, 2005, 11:34:15 PMSal,
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.

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by Sal - January 08, 2005, 08:45:40 AMHello there ! Thanks for reply.
Scandisk tells me " You cannot use the compressed dirve R because it is not mounted. To mount it so you can use the files it contains, you need to restart"
Ive got here my bootdisk, maybe you can find the problem in it.

Software Discussion / Win95b Boot CD bootup problem
Last post by admin - January 07, 2005, 09:27:34 PMSal,
95b and 95c are pretty much the same, except that 95c comes with the USB patches on the Windows CD. They might have bundled IE4, as well.
Which step were you on when scandisk started giving you errors?

Last post by Sal - January 01, 2005, 05:28:05 AMHello, I tried the Win95b Boot CD Doc. Maybe I missed something but scnandisk is giving me an error, and tells me to reboot.
Iam usin win95c , could they be some issues on the file version ( drvspace.sys and so on )
Do you have a solution?
Many thanks
Sal

Software Discussion / MPXT
Last post by matthias - December 13, 2004, 04:31:45 AM@frank
xmsdsk will provide a ram disk. So you can copy certain files and programms to the ram disk. Mpxplay will start and act much faster. You copy them from the autoexec.bat to the ram drive (e.g. r: ) and start the programm from r:. That´s all.
For example:
------------------------------------
LH C:DriversXMSDSK.EXE 4096 R: /Y
if exist copy mpxplay.* r:
------------------------------------
This will install a RAM disk as drive r: and 4.096 KByte large and copies mpxplay.exe and mpxplay.ini to r:.
I use Windows 98 for two main reasons:
1.) Full support of long file names
2.) Easy administration over my WLAN
In my software you can select if you like to start the player or Windows from the autoexec.bat without connecting a monitor to your MP3 player. You don´t need Windows to start mpxplay and I won´t do that anyway. Before I switched to MPXPLAY I used a MP3 player based on Windows2000 (Winamap and Albumlist) with a LCD and IRDA. It was a pain in the a....
Share.exe:
Share was needed in DOS 6.22 when you use TCP/IP and want to use your PC as a Server in your network. But it needs too much DOS memory. So when you´ve loaded the full TCP/IP stack + share.exe you won´t be able to start anything else ;-). If you´re looking for a network version based on DOS I can provide you with all information. I would recommend to use netbui protocoll instead of TCP/IP. netbui needs less memory and will do the same as TCP/IP. This solution works pretty good on one of my MP3 players. But don´t forget to install netbui protokoll on all PCs you like to connect.
Share.exe won´t work with DOS 7.10!!!
"It's a frontend for Mpxplay: why?
What does it do or add to mpxplay?
I can't run mpxplay by itself?"
--> I use MPXT for two reasons:
1.) I love the configuration of the LCD output - it´s just perfect and much easier to handle then the LCD support of mpxplay (thanks to Scott and Brent)
2.) MPXT allows you to play all your MP3 files through the database created by MPXT or single playlists or single drives or files from your cd-rom
MPXT will start before and instead of mxplay. When you choose what to play (database, playlist...)fro m the menu it will start mpxplay.
MPXT adds easier navigation through your files or directories. If you just have a few MP3s on your harddisk you can use mpxplay only, but if you´re looking for a menu based navigation I recommend to use MPXT as a frontend.
I will launch a new version of my MP3 player over the next days. I made a few bug fixes and I will add mpxplays fastlist support. So you can create fastlists on the fly just by a menu on your LCD Now the autoexec.bat gets very very long ;-).
If you need more informations you can mail me:
matthias_budde at web.de - please write "mp3 player" in the subject line. If collected over 250 MB of Dos software and drivers so far.

Last post by frank - December 12, 2004, 08:59:09 PMI found a FULL installation of MsDos 7.10 here:
http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm" target="_blank">http://newdos.yginfo.net/msdos71/index.htm
no more need for Win9x, if all you want is Dos 7.
I came across that while searching for share.exe,
which part of the dos networking seems to need.

Last post by frank - December 12, 2004, 04:59:14 PMnevermind, I found xmsdsk on simtel.com.
but, it doesn't free up any more memory,
at least for me, so why use it?
before I found it, I had 621k free,
and after using it, still 621k.
