Problems with patched ROMs for 5mx PRO

Open Bs0Dd opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I tested patched ROMs for 5mx PRO and found some problems:

Postcard is not working correctly

In the original MC218 firmware after opening Postcard it loads the file and then shows text and image ("Image Area" by default) and you can draw there.

MC218

In the patched ROMs after opening file it doesn't show image (only text at the left side) and you can't draw here.

PROM

If I try to use a clear button, Postcard crashes.

CRASH

Maybe there are some missing components, that are required by Postcard to normal work.

DE ROM includes English versions of MC218 apps

I wanted to manually transfer the German versions of programs from my dump (from the Apps folder). Postcard starts (but also has a problem with the lack of an image), but My Phone gives an error. There are probably some additional components that need to be replaced, but I don't know what.

EMPH

EN ROM lacks of Web browser (preinstalled in original DE ROM)

I found the English version of this browser in the form of a SIS package and added it to the ROM. The browser seems to be working correctly (but I did not post the ROM image due to problems with Postcard). SIS file and unpacked data for adding to ROM: http://files.bs0dd.net/psion/engweb_extr.zip
