    Alright, I finally got my OLCD screen to work (it seems that if you disable Port 293c for the CPU fix, it turns off the OLCD, however my CPU load seems to be fine) and the screen is showing CPU load and battery power.

    However, I cannot get the MSN plugin to work for the Direct Console. I've tried using different versions of Direct Console 2.0, however that does not solve the problem. I also searched the forums and tried adding Direct Console to MSN plug-ins, however that doesn't work either.

    Does anyone have a solution to fix this, or do we have to wait for a new version of Direct Console or for LCDHype?

    Hey, go in MSN, click the bar on your name and tick off "Turn on "Direct Console"" to turn it on. But the problem is, it lags :S hopefully they'll release another version :D

    Hmm, it does work, thanks!

    However, after someone messages me, the message continues to scroll on the LCD screen, and I can't seem to get it to go away -.-
