;) I had to dig out a PSP cable that I knew would work. I know PreOrders aren't going to be full manual/cd, etc. Perhaps an Order Option for Internal vs. external? PS: info on the wire pinout to motherboard would be immensely helpful. I show off and compete with my PC, so neatness in wiring is essen...

I would like to be able to change the status of the screen depending on if the player is in Pause/Play/RW/FF, etc. I don't yet see any way to get feedback, except for just displaying the status, instead of changing the output based on the status... Say I want an animated PLAY file while playing, the...

tried this:

which should have given me IR input even with just plain XP, but it doen't detect any IR input when setting up.

Wondering if the V3 issue is the problem? We don't comply until it's set up to be a V2?

I get nothing in notepad but the blue "reception" LED on the GX lights up. Could just be lack of any interface since I am not running and IR programs or MCE shell. I will experiment some more, and see what I can figure out. I will have Vista64 Ultimate on my finished PC so MCE should be no...

not to diverge, but it's on topic of MCE:
if I'm not running MCE, just XP normal, will there be ANY functionality of the remote?

if not, does anybody know of a 3rd party app that can do it? I don't run MCE on XP, but might install my Vista-64 to come in MCE mode if necessary.

to add to these comments, perhaps a master "GX troubleshooting" thread? So far, since installing mine yesterday I have: Turned it Red using the GXDefaults.exe program set up LCDstudio and made a basic config with clock and Winamp started up Winamp and enable the plugin in Options/Visualiza...

weren't the PreOrders supposed to get the USB cable with the order? I just got mine (niiiice BTW) and I realize you now used the MiniB 5pin? I used to crimp my own USB headers at .1" plug ends. All my experiend with MiniB 5pins is that i can't splice a Motherboard header plug in properly. Does ...

OK, thx will do.

My Typhoon is coming soon anyway for my next case.

they are 5mm rated at 20mA each...6 total, 3 blue, 3 white in Series that worked before.

Each has 2.1-2.3V drop, so IIRC I just put 82 Ohm or something in line.

Both LED circuits (6 LEDs each) work on GPO2 by themselves (GPO1 is PWM for fans) but neither works on GPO3.

in my LCDC, I had been using PWM fades to make my LEDs throb. 25ms @ 5% 25ms @10% and so on. But lately, my GPO #3 won't even come on at Startup, or show any indication in the Virtual display that it's doing anything. I put my MM on it, and with nothing attached, the wires show 11.27V. When I plug m...

lookin' good. When will we get some tech specs on GPOs or such? Is it just an LCDstudio display, or will it control fan/lights like the other displays we all love from MO?

good to hear! Thanks for the update, always impressed with MO's response here.

um, now I get an email that it's backordered?

What is the full story on the Typhoon?

Who is PreOrdered and who isn't?

I just ordered a "tricolor" MCE version.

What are the 3 colors?

You need more pics on the PreOrder page.

I am testing various timings to see what the daughterboard needs to see a full 5V pulse for the amount of time it expects.
