Thanks a whole bunch to bysin! Keep hackin buddy. Thanks for open sourcing your code!!

I had a PCMCIA card extension with a 1GB micro drive,
I copied all the required BIN files, and chose "LOAD FROM CARD" instead of CD/DVD, and after a 5-10 secs. it said ATA Card read error. So unless it is looking for a specific folder .. i dont know what could be wrong .. May be Bysin can look into this. Will save him all this burning media...
I know the drive works for the car, I tested it by, holding the MENU button for 10 extra seconds from the main diagnostic menu, it brought me to developer menu, and I went to Logs, and clicked Save logs to PCMCICA. and it successfully created .txt files of logs dumps from the Navi System.

i cannot copy the bin files from the navi disk to my hard drive. my computer just doesnt register it as a disk and when i try to burn a copy of the actual disk, i get a message saying "insert origional source disk". would it be possible to get the BIN files elsehwere?

But you say the startup image worked? might as well do that.

Bam...
Original go at it had a working image, no words for the nag (go only) but had some initial lag and "after" screen lag...
I used a modified image from MrBrett (the man will post pics later)...
I photoshopped it the way I wanted, changed to indexed colors of 173 (as explained earlier in this thread) and ALSO cropped 2 pixels from width and one from height (478x233x8bit color bmp @ 109k or 112,588 bytes)
I reloaded as expected and there is NO lag before image load. NONE. Shoot, it comes on faster than I can turn the key practically! I actually added back in the words for the nag screen. I figure SOMETHING on the screen is better than that blackness before the "Go" buttons comes up.
Are those "nag words" a BMP as well? Or are they text? Either way, we could mod those as well??? Another BMP, or even change the words to "Where to?" or something like that? Thoughts???

any help
I don't have a DVD drive on my computer, (I know, I'm living in the stone age). I would be willing to pay $25.00 to anyone who would take the time and make one for me with my own selection of start-up picture.
Anyone thought of making these and selling them on e-bay, bet you could make some good money.
Anyone willing to hook a brother up please e-mail me, stretchb69@hotmail.com
Thanks, Stretch

Most any of us will hook a brutha up, but I am not 100% sure that the BIN files from your DVD will be the same as ours... That is where you have to start. Such that someone would need your DVD to start the process... In the meantime I'm sure we can get you a BMP rolling along... Take that $25 and go to TigerDirect and put it towards a DVD drive... Remember, you don't need a DVD burner man, just a reader!!! You can burn just a CD with you modified BIN file(s)!
Make sense chap???

heres a link to a site with tons of navi pics posted, a lot from Mr. Brett. I had posted the pic by Jtow but apparently some one here has an incredable dislike for women. Anyway, one pic here is not appropriate for those who have never seen a tattoo. Enjoy: http://linuxkiddies.com/bysin/navi/ That is the same as Bysins page**

Btw, one post will be enough. Don't need to post the same comment twice.

From what I gather, the text on the nag screen on the TL can be ALTERED, but you still have to hit the OK button. Is that correct? Or can we actually remove the OK button?

Ok...I figured out everything...or so I thought. I loaded the disk, and the screen said something about downloading data. Then, right at the end, it says something about check CD. I meant to write the exact error code but forgot.
Any ideas?

Rob, after loading your DVD, the error code is normal. Now take out your DVD and replace it with the Acura DVD. You're all set. Your new image should appear and the nag text is removed. The rest of the navi functions should perform as normal.

I did that, but there was no working link on any of the pages. All I found was nsx26.ttf, which looks kinda crappy....i.e. the bottom of some of the letters is too thick.
Any chance you can post the font?
