@xman Re. Nkp11_config_open.bin And Virtual Eeprom Options

[Nightbird]

Xman. I've been using 'NKP11_config_open.bin' to boot into VGA mode and a VGA configured XBMC using code below:

CODE

%define OPEN_PATH          '\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\VGA\default.xbe'
;;; use this to enable all of NKP (disable to boot some other HACK)
%define    OPEN_DASH_WITH_NKP    
;;; use this to disable shadowC in open (alt) dash
;%define    OPEN_DASH_shadowC_OFF
;;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%define VIDEO_FORCE_RGB

It works really well, but my question is, is there a way of either enabling or disabling the virtual eeprom in the 'config_runtime.inc'? The reason is, I have my real eeprom set to 480p and 720p and my virtual eeprom set to 480p only. When I boot with the tray closed, I also use 'eeprom_off.bin' and the xbox boots to XBMC in 720p with the real eeprom. When I i boot with the tray open, I remove 'eeprom_off.bin', and the xbox boots to a 480p VGA configured XBMC using the virtual eeprom. The reason I use different eeprom's is because when in VGA mode if 720p is enabled it causes some emulators and games to black screen because they detect and use the highest resolution set in the eeprom.
At the moment I'm just using ''eeprom_off.bin' to control things, but is there a way to either enable or disable the virtual eeprom using the tray, like you can with the video mode and shadow_c. It would make things easier for me.
Thanks in advance.

make the changes and recompile NKP11

dont use eeprom_off.bin it will override new setings

CODE

;IN VIRTEEPROM.ASM FILE
;-----------------------------------------------------------------

installvirteeprom:
               push eax  ; save them
               push ebx

               mov ebx,[options+4] ; reload tray options   <<<<<< add !!!!!!!
               test ebx,256  ; eeprom off mask       <<<<<< add !!!!!!!
               jne short ee_off.          ;                       <<<<<< add !!!!!!!

               lea eax,[ee_fp] ; eeprom off file name
               call open_file ; go try to open eeprom_off file
               cmp     [esi+4],dword 01h; status was put here by NtOpenfile (8 bytes total)

Xman, you're a star. Thank you very much for that piece of code. It works perfect. I've saved it on a text file on my xbox in case I ever lose it. Now I can control everything I need to with the tray. It's made things so much easier for me. It's saved me having to keep moving the 'eeprom_off.bin' in and out of the 'NKP11' folder.
Thanks again.

Note: If you omit 'EEPROM_OFF_NIGHTBIRD' in 'config_runtime.inc' it gives 'error: symbol 'TV8' undefined'. Although it makes no difference to me as it will be permanently defined.
Cheers.

glad to hear it

Just added that and it now works spot on.
Much appreciated.
