No way.. how big is your origional Back.bmp?

 

I'm using BN2HN18B.BIN. However someone else on the forum stated that he was able to get it to work with this bin. If you need the bin file let me know!

 

It might be a different version.. send me your version of the BIN on the ftp i gave you a while back.

 

i agree, no way!

as long as its below 113,068 then it should be good. i made several discs trying different resolutions and sizes. as long as its below that, then it works with no lag.

try something else, make it a bit smaller. like 110k or something and see if that works. u shouldnt notice too much of a difference and it'll work without a lag. well worth it

 

Check your PM bysin. And once again thanks!

 

Ok, version 1.3 now supports your car. Redownload it off my site: http://www.linuxkiddies.com/bysin/navi/

 

My 2003 MDX uses BN2HH110.BIN

Any chance you can help with the nag on this one?
Does the TSX nav have a audio and dialog box nag about entering unverified area?
Do you think it would be too much trouble to clean those out?

 

How about changing the background image on a demo vehicle?

 

Send me a private message with a link to your BIN and I'll make it work for your version.

 

When sega stopped shipping dreamcasts, all the extra Hitachi SH-4 200 MHz processors were shipped to Alpine to put in our cars. Those high quality processors cost Honda/Acura a whopping $31.70 USD each.

</sarcasm>

 

Did I win some kind of contest.. the largest number of hits on one post?

 

anybody want to sell me a copy of photoshop????????

 

I vote best post of all time, not to mention rookie of the year (1st post!).

 

DumpNAVI 1.4 now supports the MDX, TL, and TSX (although the TSX is all that matters )

 

bysin,

Would you still be willing to open-source your code? Sounds like you're a linux guy so I figured you wouldn't mind. Maybe it would help the rest of us find a way around the nag-screen OK button. Just curious.

 

Bysin,

I'm hoping to drive my 05 TSX home today and before rims, suspension, or even the fuzzy dice hangin on the rear view...I will modify my Nav!

 

It is open source, you can download it here:

http://www.linuxkiddies.com/bysin/na...onsole-src.zip

the GUI is just a front end.. just a big mess.. you wouldnt wanna see it.

 

Its really the only free mod you can get for the TSX.

 

But doesn't the GUI know where to go into navi.exe to blank out the disclaimer. Would just help me find the address of it.

 

The actual disclaimer text is in the rdata (resource data) section of the navi.exe.. its got nothing to do with the actual dialog so it wouldnt be too much help at all.

 

These bins are also on my MDX nav disk dumpnavi can't open them, anyone know their function or contents?

navi-console>dumpnavi.exe add.BIN extract
Invalid XIP file

navi-console>dumpnavi.exe zzz10.BIN extract
Invalid XIP file

navi-console>dumpnavi.exe zzz100.BIN extract
Invalid XIP file

navi-console>dumpnavi.exe BN2HHmld.BIN extract
Invalid ECEC header

 

The only BIN file that matters is the one that your car loads.

 

Thanks bysin, but I'm still getting the it doesn't support your car message when I load up the bin file

 

If you don't have a copy of photoshop to edit the Back.bmp You can always use Gimp. Its GNU licensed and can be installed on windows also. It has the same functions as photshop and most of the menu selection and menus are the same.

http://www.gimp.org/windows/

 

I did mine last night and it worked!!!, but i'm still getting a delay. I used the back20.bmp from your webpage.

Is it normal for me to still be getting a delay with that one?

 

I used your origional BIN you sent me and it works for me.

 

Thats what I use (But for linux of course).

 

On mine, those two files are just 10k or 100k (respectively) of solid 0xff chars. my guess is they might be used for some drive read speed timing test that their code does? or just left over from debugging or something.

Just to add a data point to the list of background-mod success stories... 476x234x8bit (all 256 colors used) = 112464bytes = no startup delay on an 04 TSX using BN2HN18B.BIN. I used the CLI version of dumpnavi.

The brightness of the screen seems a little high. It still looks fine, but I think next time around I will try to make the image a little darker in photoshop to compensate.

 

I got the exact opposite going on, my new image is a lot darker than the old one...any photoshop gurus know how to brighten that up a bit w/o distorting my pic too much?

 

Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast

 

KENDAL - THANKS!!

 

I'm not a photoshop guru, but you should be able to just go into Image->Adjustments->Levels and move the middle slider on the upper Input Levels graph. I think that you'd ideally want to do this on your original full-color RGB image before you dither it down to a 256-color palette (Indexed color mode) to get the most out of your dither algorithm of choice, altho Photoshop seems to do an ok job at just adjusting the colors in the palette if you don't have the original RGB image (or if there never was one).

 

I still cant get it to work :-( would anyone be willing to email the files already modded with with the acura matrix screen to my email address?

 

I am still experiencing lag. I have a TL and the BIN file that gets loaded is BN2HH12C.BIN. There are only 6 of these BIN files on my DVD (3.30G, I think). Using the Gimp program recommended above, I was able to get my image down to the correct size. But there is still lag.

Did anyone else using the same BIN have luck? Should I reload to original image before trying the new one?

 

I think I might try this one out:



It says Hello I think.

 

こんにちは = hello

 

What not working ??? be specific.
Have you read every single word of readme.txt and bysin posts and follow it ?
(dont think you read much otherwise I wouldn't have to ask this: what is your BIN file ? hint: different model different BIN file"

 

your off by 1 character.. that actually says "Konnichi ha" in hiragana. I think what you ment to put was "Konnichi wa".

 

Nihongo no wakaru hito wa imasu ka? Nihongo o kaku koto wa muzukashii desu, demo hanasu koto wa yasashii desu. Amari nomanai ho ga ii desu yo lol.

 

Ohhhhhhh, so thats how we get rid of the nag screen.






















lol, just kidding, i have no idea what that says
