This is great! Nice work. I am going to make a cockpit, so I will definitely build in a dash pod and use this. Looks awesome

Quote from yankee-eight :

I have that same DVD player with the 2 screens for the car. How did you set those up??

Unless you're good at soldering and don't want to use your dvd player again, you can't. I cut the cable that joins the player to the screen and through trial and error figoured out which wire was which and soldered them to rca sockets in a little project box. It will also need an external 12v power supply.

Hey great work on this! I love and it can't play LFS without it now..

Here's a pic of my setup (Sorry for crappy phone photo but you get the idea..)

It's only a 7" screen and it only has composite video and runs off my TV out but it works ok

Yes, I believe it is only 2003, not 2003 SE...so there's no hope for me?

Oh, and regarding the landscape mode, my HP has no landscape mode. It can't be changed.. Yet another reason to use the O2... But the HP has such a nice big screen too..

Hi Buedi,

Yes, the HP I believe is only around 200Mhz actually.. The update was a little chunky at 20, so I changed it to 30 and it seems to work fine. The problem I have with the IPAQ is that it's the one I want to use, as it's useless for anything else! The touch screen on it is broken, so I can only control it from my PC with pocket controller, but it's no good otherwise.

One thing I have noticed is that if I start the program, load LFS and get it all working, then unplug it from usb, PocketLFS continues to work for about 10 seconds or so, and then crashes. If I leave it plugged into USB it works fine. (but then there's a huge cable coming out the bottom and I can't prop it up against my monitor..

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,

Update for you.. works great on HP IPAQ H6365 as well. seems a little slower but still works well.

Thanks!

Ben

hey guys,

Looking real good! Looks like a tricky thing to do, but good on you for taking it on. I'll be following this closely. Great idea.

Hi,

Great application! very impressed. I agree a landscape mode would be great too Just letting you know I have an O2 atom running WM5 and it works great. I also have a HP ipaq H6365 running WM2003 which I am yet to test it on, but I'll let you know

Once again, thanks for the app!

Well, after being on holiday overseas for a month (and knowing as soon as I get back I can pick up my g25 from layby!) I have finally got it, and I have to say, it's great! certainly makes a huge difference in realism coming from a black momo. I've only had it 3 days and I've played lfs so much my shoulders hurt! It's taken quite a few hours to get used to 900 (or rather 720) degrees, but the clutch was no problem as i drive a manual every day.. in summary - awesome!
