hello,
just wondering if anyone has a copy of the barco explorer program they could please upload or email me? the one drive link in the stickys is broken...
I want to flash a 909 with the cine 9 latest firmware. where can I get a copy of that bin file also?
thanks for your time.
regards,
justin.

Consider changing the caps on the controller first.

hulio: thank you! i appreciate the prompt reply and follow up. i am going to download and store all the barco 9xx series files from this website on my google drive for future safekeeping... in case anyone comes across this post and the files are unavailable. just contact me through here.
i have spent the last two months reverse engineering binary data files and have gotten pretty good at finding storage patterns. i am going to have a look around the bin file, but only with the intention of being a sticky beak at this stage.
gregstv: hello greg. i am curious what you mean by your comment? i should elaborate what i am trying todo with this program. my intention is to slow down the fan speeds of the 909s?
i did see on here a thread with a list of capacitors for different boards. i will run my eyes over the list today.
regards,
justin.

does anyone know how we came about acquiring these files <CINE221.bin>, <Cine213[1].bin> & <EKU222[1].bin>? did someone pull them from their boards? i noticed in one of caseys photos theres a page that has "SkyVision" etcetera.
i quickly got looking through the bin file just now and discovered how the tile data is stored to draw these specification pages on the projector.
i wrote a small C++ program that reads in the bin file, modifies this data and rewrites the file. the file size stays the same. there is no overflowing data. it just replaces the tile data.
what this means is: i can replace everything on those pages. from the logo, to the text. even the text for "PROJ. ADDRESS", "SOFT. VERSION", "CONFIG." etcetera with anything you want (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). even colours it appears.
i cannot test this as i cannot find an RS232 cable in my cable bin unfortunately. so it will have to wait.
what i plan to do is flash both my 909s and change the "SkySkan" page to have the Barco logo and below that have "JUSTIN'S BR_909 STACK".
i can post more details on my findings if anyone wants. i plan to rewrite the program to make it user friendly and available to all to alter these fields without accidentally spilling the tile data in other data.
regards,
justin.

Hi Justin, I was talking to one of the software Engineers at work and he was saying that there is usually a higher inrush current when you start to load/program a new file, so make sure the power supply is up to scratch. When you think about how many hours these caps have done it makes sense to change them first. It may help stop the loading going wrong that some people have experienced in the past. Cheers, Greg |

Greag i think the biggest fault of this going wrong is people using USB-RS232 adaptors, which this was never designed for.

Hey Justin
I am very interested in such a program , did you already test it ?
Normaly you first have to erase content of I9 before you can change menu's like skyscan or seos back to cine9 doing a flash with CINE221.BIN

You can safely flash straight over the top of what is there, itll just change the software version.

Yes Case it has nothing to do with the operation ,just some fun trying to manipulate things as fare as we can get.

Yeah i think Greg Eisemann offered a service to make the ID screen say whatever you wanted at some point. Not sure what is involved in that though.

just a quick reply. dummyload - I modified the binary data where the skyskan text and a few other areas were. I am 100% it will work, just need to flash my 909. I am waiting on another part to arrive before I do it. I wanted todo a side by side comparison of my modified 909 next to a stock 909.
I can send you my program or edit the cine 9 bin file to say whatever you want?

Do you reckon you could adjust the convergence step sizes to be a bit smaller? |

sent you a pm dummyload.
case: i had a quick snoop around the other data. without flashing it to a machine to test, i am not sure what else i can change. there is significantly more data in one of the bin files compared to the others... i would have to study the files carefully. but anything is possible.
