This is in ED's possible-to-do list for Hotfix 4. If a PND or an OVR specifies a speed, a dialogue box will come up advising the app wants to change the cpu speed and asking you if you wish to allow the change. If the change is allowed, the speed will be set back to its previous value after you exit the application.

been battling for the last hour ... I downloaded your files

if i make the pnd off of your iso and pxml it works

i tried to make an iso using your files and my iso seem not to work (I have not idea what i am doing wrong)

I have followed the guide on the wiki here is my script

mkisofs -o CPU850.iso -R d:\cpuspeedss\pnd\tom (I put al your .sh and .xml in this directory)

I really dont know what the heck is going on -- Even tried to make the iso with ultraiso that did not work either!

Any ideas here please!

OK don't include the XML in the iso, that might confuse it.

I don't really know what else to advise. Like I say I do my development on Windows. Once I've made the iso i just type: copy myiso.iso + PXML.xml mypnd.pnd into command prompt.

Yep Im also working in windows ... mind you will try on the pandora when i get a moment

Do me a fav ... what program are you using to create the iso

FYI - your iso, which works has the PXML in it ... but I will try and remove it and see what happens

Thanks!

[Pleng]

heh does it? ooops can't be that then!

I'm using Deep Burner (freeware) to make my iso.

Ahhh what program are you using to make the PXML? Make sure you save it in Linux/Unix format. Windows and Linux handle carriage returns/line feeds differently. Notepad++ has the facility to save unix style.

This shouldn't matter - newlines count as whitespace in XML. And the PXML most certainly should be in the ISO.

48K: Any clues in /tmp/pndrun<whatever>? Does your PND (or even just the ISO) mount on the Pandora? (e.g. mount -o loop /path/to/your.pnd /mnt/something)

SteveM I shall try tonight and come back to you

Pleng .. thanks Ill try your iso tool as well

Damn it so exciting trying something new, but sooo frustrating as I dont know my way around properly - I am so far from my comfort zone, I cant afford the airticket back

Okay - my issue was defnitely in the creation of the iso ...

I proved this by using the uneditted PXML from pleng, with iso's created by ultraiso and mkisofs - these would not work - The icons appeared on the desktop and when you clicked them there was some activity (led blinked a few times) but the CPU speed was not changed (and the warning dialogue did not appear)

Created the iso with deep burner and all worked perfectly!

Then went about creating my pnd (well a crib from pleng ) and it worked (I only wanted one icon .. setting speed to 850)!

Next I want to pnd a toggling wireless on and off and controlling screen brightness (anyone have the commands for this?)

Many thanks for the files pleng ....

SomeGuy99's hotkeys guide mentions the location of the WiFi toggling script, if that's of any help. Personally, I just followed the guide and bound it to a key combination (left-shoulder, right-shoulder, and the "W" key, in my case).

[pokitfoxx]

hey, I have a problem with this PND. If I try to run pidgon it runs this program and tries to change my cpu speed.

[Chaser]

Thats a new one. Try deleting the 'Plengscripts' folder from appdata and then re-launching it again. Or try a fresh download of that PND if that fails.

[TitanUranus]

Can anyone tell me how to force the maximum to opp1 or opp2? I really want to see how high I can clock at lower opp's.

EDIT: Why isn't there an option on the slider?
