Zeg Het Maar rulez! I don't have it though.. Perhaps it's something for our Downloads database? (or if preferred: webshop ).
I am willing to donate it, if you tell me how to upload it ? I am sure I have an unprotected version somewhere (my master disc). And I think copyright does expire after 10 years, doesn't it ?
Copyright doesn't expire after 10 years.. not if you don't want it to . But you can send it (and all other interesting creations -hint, hint
- ) to downloads@msx.org (if you'd rather FTP it, mail to that adress and I'll give ya a temporary login)
I think I have some other interesting prototype utilities. Like once I made a voice recognition system which could control a standard HiFi CD player by sending RC5 codes via the remote-in connector (most players have this connection to connect through the amplifier). It would allow you to say "stop", "play", "Forward", "1","2", etc. to control your cd-player. I think it only worked on turbo-r to record the voice, but I am not sure anymore. I will submit the sources anyway.
You need a modified SIMPL (from MCM) to connect your CD player (replace one of the audio-plugs by a remote-in plug).
I only tested it on a Sony CD-player, but with a simple adaption, you can record any RC5 code by connecting your remote-out to your line-input and record the RC5 code when you press your remote.
>>Man, nobody has that utility! Do you still have it? Can you make a disk image from it?

Do you mean ZHM ? Does nobody have this ???
No, I mean the Philips Diagnostics Tool!
Voice recognition on turboR??? AWESOME!!!! Whoa!
Ah, the Philips tool, yes I must have it somewhere, it got it from an ex-Philips employee. It's only available on cartridge originally, but I copied it on an eprom and I also made a loader for it, so you can run it from disc.
Hi, just doing a nostalgic search on 'Parallax' got me into this old thread. Funny.
Hey there Mr. Illusive... Stop by from time to time! Would be nice to see some of you 'oldtimers' on the forums once in a while. Hey, you by any chance know if 'Patje' is still alive? Would be phun to know what that lazy sob is up to aswell... Last time I heard he was on his way to becoming a rock star. Dreadlock Pussy, or something? Anyways, good to see you on a forum...
Pat is of course very much alive. www.dreadlockpussy.com. Don't expect too much of me though, I'll hang around for a few days maybe, but I'm not doing anything MSX-related at the moment, as I haven't done for some time now.

It's great to see even more of the 'old MSX people' have found their way to the MRC forums. And revealing how they protected their products is very interresting stuff to read.
