Why do you think Gina has private jets? 😊

To hide her disdain for common people? Somewhere to store flimsy arguments and a spoon to stir up social media in case the Resources Super Profits Tax idea floats again?

The filter is centred on 15.7khz with a pass bandwidth of approximately 2khz, or roughly 14.7khz to 16.7khz.

Is that 15.7kHz figure a hard cutoff?

Because on my Emudriver setup I typically go as high as 15.9kHz for Steam games that could use some extra porch padding to reduce overscan. My CRT TV doesn't start to lose sync until you hit 16.0kHz

noooooooooooooooo......

Hope you find a buyer soon. Maybe Pauline or Gina needs a backup?

My plane has the most shoulder room of any ultralight. It actually has more shoulder room than a Cessna 182! But it's not THAT roomy. Why do you think Gina has private jets? 😊

Both of those sound good.

That is good, as I bought them both to test.
Don't tell the wife ;-)

Just wanted to post a video update of my cabinet. Even after all of these years it's still going strong!

All speakers for 7.1 lounge system now primed and ready for final paint! Ooooh close to fitting these puppies. BTW all have been tested (as matched stereo pairs) prior to getting to this stage to make sure the sound is on point. All having matching grills and custom bracket mounts. I'll cover that next post.

That's excellent information Zebidee! I've gone and got myself the CH341a set.  Anything i may do with it will not impact my more important goal of getting this done though. I already had the USB extender lead, and I'll sell myself some blank EEPROM chips, I find myself much cheaper than online. After some further investigation there are many service menu entries which shouldn't be reset or basically messed with. I'll be very careful when the time comes. The capacitor hack (or some variation of it) sounds good to me. It's a single button press of the AV button, I may use a transistor/optocoupler to momentarily parallel the existing TV/AV switch to avoid any unwanted voltage issue, we'll see.

So, some further progress on this project. I now have a working control set and a working Front End! In keeping with my requirement for a really basic Front End menu I've ended up developing my own in Python. I'm ok at Python programming but still needed some A.I. help with the Pygame side of it which I'm not that familiar with. That said, I'm still going through with beta testing Loadman's Mala 2.0 beta. It's worth doing, more so for future projects than this one. The challenge with setting up a Front End on a system like this is that you really need a second LCD screen in play until everything is done and tested. It's just too hard working on a CRT at 240x320 in Windows. Developing my own FE let me do just that. Yes I can add Snaps etc later if I want, but I like it simple and fast. So no pics or it didn't happen as PBJ says, I'll go one better and provide a video.  The end goal is basically as per this concept with maybe a few color tweaks:



Here's the video replay. Enjoy, it's even in 4K if you so desire.

I’m glad you’re okay but your post made me sad.
