Has anybody or will anybody hack the b&e Reloaded fonts to change just one thing - flashing red led. other than that i love those fonts. i'd use big fonts but they just suck!!

I found this bloody distracting too. If you use the B&E reloaded fonts simply to load PBL 1.3, PBL can reset the LED colour/sequence to your choice (solid green for me ). All happens so quick, you don't notice the red blinking.

Edit: I've just read there are issues with PBL 1.3.5. Glad I stayed with PBL 1.3

Slightly more helpfully...

Bert & Ernie Reloaded:
Hex edit Ernie.xtf. File offset 0x958459 (Original value: 0xA0) is the LED colour/sequence. Try different values. 0xFF gives you a nice constant orange.

More info:
The byte is both the LED colour and sequence. The LED sequence appears to be 4 quarter second intervals (don't shoot me of I'm inaccurate here).

The byte is a bit pattern of in the form:
[RG][RG]RG][RG]

Hence:
10100000 = 0xA0 = (the B&E R original value) RED LED for half a second, no LEDS for half a second.
11111111 = 0xFF = Both RED & GREEN LEDs (hence Orange) for the whole second (ie. constant orange).

So (guessing),
01010101 = 0x55 should give a constant GREEN LED.

Enjoy.

Sorry Pedro, but the info is wrong.

The byte is

R G
[7654][3210]

0x0f should be completly green iirc.

Ah. I stand corrected.

More info:
The byte is both the LED colour and sequence. The LED sequence appears to be 4 quarter second intervals (don't shoot me of I'm inaccurate here).

The byte is a bit pattern of in the form:
[RRRR][GGGG]

Hence:
10100000 = 0xA0 = (the B&E R original value) red LED on,off,on,off, no green LED
111111111 = 0xFF = Both red & green LEDs (hence Orange) for the whole second (ie. constant orange).

So,
00001111 = 0x0F No red LED, solid green LED.

Thanks _ionic_,

thank you for your very valuable information. i just don't understand completely exactly what hex string do i search for in ernie.xtf and what do i change it too for a constant green?

Or you can just use the latest bigfonts. Just like B+E reloaded they try to set the clock when you hit a loop, making them probably equally as safe. There are no statistics on it, of course, but both have been verified to exit the loop.

yes but big fonts is crap very buggy so many boot up problems. b+e reloaded i have had no problems with so would be great if i knew what i was looking for in the hex editor and what to change to to make it green led!!

Hey Pedros Pad - You There? I really need to know what hex string to search for in ernie.xtf to change the led to constant green

Nevermind I figured it out. I now hack Bert & Ernie Reloaded Fonts - PBL 1.3.5 and NO Flashing Red LED. I Love it.

Congratulations Herculezz

In case anyone else struggled....

Don't search for anything, GOTO file offset 0x958459 (Edit menu, Goto...). You should see byte 0xA0 if you got the offset correct. Change 0xA0, to 0X0F for constant green LED.

Pedro.

What Hex Program r u using im using XVI32 and i cant find the go to and file offset option

here are a few more ones hex values that may be useful:
F0 = Red
0F = Green
FF = Orange
AA or 55 = flashing orange
5A or A5 = flash red, then green (xmas)
FA or F5 = Flashing red and orange
5F or AF = flashing orange and green
