fsredir v1.1.0

Updated fsredir to v1.1.0
Hi all, I finally managed to update fsredir driver. There is issue with previous version which is file/folder will be duplicated when both target and source folder contain same file name. The fix is very easy but tracing other minor issue is not.

Since this driver is loaded on each volume, I added a feature to enable only certain drive and implement new configuration file parser. This feature can be changed by modifying fsredir.marker.

Solving old games graphics problem on Windows 7 and Vista

Introduction
Old popular games such as Age of Empires, Starcraft, Worms and Diablo that runs on windows 7 and vista is suffering palette problem which caused the game graphics color messed, color problem, palette stolen, etc.

VOS - Color messed (rainbow) and it's not black actually.

Recently, I wanted to play some old game and one of them are Virtual Orchestra Studio, the color messed but doesn't influence the game. I played normally without doing any trick or methods that solve the color issue. Suddenly, one day while playing Virtual Orchestra Studio, the color that supposed to be blue turned white and almost the entire screen turned bright including background!
Because the game is about pressing the key at the right moment and since I cannot see the note fall because the note and the background looks the same. It make me think to write some tools to solve this issue because almost all people talk about the solution to this problems is to terminate explorer.exe and then start the game, but I don't like this method.

CHDK for Canon Powershot A495

Last year, I ported CHDK to Canon Powershot A495, which can be found here: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5570.0
But didn't have much time. If anybody interested to continue my work, you can see and get git repository here: http://gitorious.org/canon-powershot-a495-chdk/canon-powershot-a495-chdk/trees/master

Introduction:
After bought new camera - Canon a495, I'm looking for firmware for this camera model to see anything updated. But unfortunately I didn't found any. After looking hard, I found CHDK which stands for Canon Hack Development Kit for Canon camera. They didn't support a495 camera model, so I began reading porting guide, open arm disassembler and begin porting it using firmware 100d dumped by fvdk.

After half of the port done, I begin dumping myself and realize that my camera has 100f firmware. :-S :S :S :-S.... :|
c.c  :'(
So, I left 100d and begin porting 100f  and release beta version. The 100d version is still on git repository, incomplete and half-way done. I might continue to port this, or not... If I have time to spend.

Firmware download:
Beta 1 - a495-100f-0.9.9-Syahmi-full.zip
Beta 2 - a495-100f-0.9.9-957-full_beta2.zip

Some Photos: 
Some photo is taken from alpha release and some from beta release. All this photo taken during the development.

Update2:
See this post too: http://write-code.blogspot.com/2012/08/parallel-port-spi-flash-programmer-and-unbrick-wm8650.html
Update:
This blog post about total bricked Fake Flytouch - bootloader failed to start. If the devices turned on, the Blue LED will lit but the screen will remain black.
If you flash the wrong firmware, it might not fully bricked. Try to flash with new firmware, see comment post for the download link.

Introduction:
I bricked Gome/Fake? FlyTouch when upgrade its firmware by accidentally removing microSD card when upgrading w-load/u-boot in process. I don't know the exact name as the device itself doesn't have anything written on it except MID written on box.
It looks exactly like in this post: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-flytouch/1411-help-detecting-model-device-2-6-29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty.html#post8372

 

Reading through this thread, i found an interesting post about using LPT or Parallel port to reflash the bootloader IC using SPIPGM by Martin Rehak/RayeR. The SPIPGM can be found here: http://rayer.ic.cz/programm/programm.htm#SPIPGM
