Hijack v321 is now released.

New in this version:

-- Hijack now reads the tuner thumbwheel (or jumpers for PCATS tuner) to obtain the "tuner-id" at boot time. This ID can then be used with:

-- The Force AC/DC Power Mode menu now allows forcing AC/DC based on tuner-id.

This new functionality is useful for folks building docking stations, or for users of the docks that I sell, for when they connect a tuner to the dock (which prevents the usual loopback test from detecting the dock).

It's also useful if your AC power jack is broken, whereby the Empeg thinks it is on AC power even when plugged into a sled in your car. If either the car or home dock have a tuner module, you can now use this feature to force the power setting.

This is NOT in the menu, but please note: A tuner-id of '0' is treated as "no tuner present" for these purposes, so if you actually have a tuner, best to set the ID to something other than zero. The PCATS tuner defaults to '3', unless you modify it during/after assembly.

Cheers

Also note, that in an effort to not use too many new bits from the flash savearea, this feature works only with Tuner-ID's 1,2,3,4,5, and only partially with Tuner-ID 6.

If you have more than that many tuners, give them to me.

Cheers

I wonder if there's anyone on the planet who owns and uses more than two tuner modules with the same player?

Maybe out in Utah there's a guy who docks his empeg in several of his wives' cars?

Did you get the patch for allow faking a tuner id for when you fake a tuner? Was it unsuitable or did you lose it?

I did get the patch for faking a Tuner-Id, but have not applied it (yet).

I'm still trying to figure out *why* ?

Cheers

So I could see what effect changing it has on the scratch partition. Someone else might decide to do the same.
