Editing the OLED intro message on G50

Hey there,

I'm well aware of LCDHype and its author's wonderful work on it, but is there a way to edit the OLED message when you first turn on the notebook "Republic of Gamers"? I just want to explore where this info is stored (just in case I want to go further with the modding and see what I can add or change to it, maybe even change that little bitmap.

The reason why I prefer not to use LCDHype is because I would have to disable DirectConsole, my only direct access to the other things and I'm not too great with the coding/scripting or whatever the language used to modify the OLED display.

Thanks and have a good one.

If all else fails, then I guess I'd have to use LCDHype, wouldn't I?

 

Failed!

Cannot override that logo, it's hardcoded into the OLED's microcontroller. You don't need to take much time for coding your OLED with LCDHype, there already are couple of ready-to-use scripts from G50 users, check out the last couple of pages of the G50 OLED thread.

The only drawback using LCDHype is the overclocking capability that DirectConsole provides - you cannot use both if you want to have the OLED working...that is until someone (probably me...) writes a dummy driver for DirectConsole that makes it "think" it controls the OLED, but it would actually control nothing

 

hmm i wonder how the directconsole overclock works.. which parameters does it set? propably we can write our own code which will do the same and run the same programms as direct console.. just without needing the direcont console gui cause you make your own?

this would also help to automatically overclock at startup.. so u put a shortcut of the programm + some parameter (turbo mode e.g.) in autostart

 

It most probably works by low-level PLL controlling...accessing couple of registers on the motherboard controller, there are bunch of programs out there that can do that, I can't tell you which programs exactly(though I've written couple of PLL controller drivers before)..see the overclocking threads.

 

we rly need something done here.. check my + byranu post:

So I used LEDHype (and it works in Windows 7 build 7048 woo)

Is there an option to load a selected script when Window boots?

Thanks.

 

LCDHype -> Configuration -> check the option "Start script automatically after application startup" and write the index of the script that should start. Also put LCDHype shortcut to StartMenu -> Programs -> Startup so LCDHype would start with Windows
