The only problem with putting in a warning is that it will change the format of the hack files for HackBuilder. I specifically made it data-driven so that other people could create hack files which I could then just drop into the zip file. That being said, it's not that hard to add and will be safe for all the other hack files.
So, I will put in a warning message box that pops up when you select a dangerous hack. |

Warning message support added, and a warning for Delete Books is included now.

The pop up is in with version 1.05.
Supposedly resetting also works if you get it looping, so usb isn't the only option... I think. I'll try taking a look, but shade has definitely delved deeper than I and if he couldn't get it working, the brief time I spend on it likely won't uncover much. |

Unfortunately the delete book hack sounds like too much risk to be worth it. I mean yes you can maybe delete books, but in order to replace them, you need a computer anyway. Now a hack to allow you to move a book from external memory to internal memory would be good. And it doesn't have to be careful of Collections as the book originally isn't in a collection.

I have this hack since yesterday, have deleted 8-10 books from external memory, no need to plug in. So it does work.

But, has anyone tried to delete a book from a collection and see just what happens to your reader? Does the book get deleted? It's said the collection is messed up and when you try to access that collection (do other collections have issues then too?) you go into a loop that needs a reset and a plug into the active USB port to fix. As we know, the warnings are not exactly 100% correct since one of the warnings seems to be incorrect. So if any brave soul would not mind risking his/her reader and testing this hack and reporting the results, we (I hope everyone) would be grateful to know the ins and outs of this hack's functionality. |

I just noticed one hack left out of the hack builder. The new icon set is missing. Would you please add that in as well?

Hey diablo, did you ever try changing the name in main.xml of the icon file? If that can work, then I could just include the image in all builds and only activate it via a hack file. That would be super easy, actually. |

I just tested it and it should be really easy. I'll do it right now!
Done! Added the icons as one of the selectable hacks. This increases the size of the flash by about 40k, even if you don't install the new icons. That's not very big, but you can manually delete the kBookIconDiablo.png from the scripts folder after building your hacks, if you're worried about it. Last edited by Nogg; 09-06-2007 at 03:06 AM. |

This is all amazing, and, although terrified of bricking my reader, I REALLY want the hack that will let me turn pages with the joystick.
My question is, is there a description somewhere of what all the hacks do? I downloaded the program, but all the terms are pretty cryptic, really. Also, where is a good description of how to add the resulting hack file without bricking everything? Thanks! |
