Home / Web Pads / Epods One General Post Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot

Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email Has anyone tried the demo version of this Nydiot software on the ePods? It allows virtual resolutions to be created on CE devices. They have a new 2.11 MIPS version. I'm hoping I can run Terminal Services in at least 800x600! http://home.socal.rr.com/nyditot/ I'm going to try and install tonight - I post my preliminary results 02-05-2002 12:45:27

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Sniff Profile Nope. Been wanting to try but pessimistic and lazy. Please post results. 02-05-2002 15:34:47

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email I installed the app on my desktop, but I do not have my ePods synch'd with that computer. I took the MIPS cab and grabbed it over the nextwork onto the ePods. Install appeared normal, but the 5 or 6 applications it installed are 'missing components' - I moved a DLL in the instal directory, but nothing. Soft reset, still nothing. Anyone else try? 02-06-2002 07:52:51

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email It works! I installed from the 2.11 cab that is decomressed from the install utility and it works pretty well. The best feature I've see is being able to rotate 90 degrees for reading ebooks and MP3 playlists. Impressive stuff. Terminal Services color limitation makes TS a little tough, but it looks good at the higher resolution. Free demo on the site... try it, I think you will like it. http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=3&productType=2&productId=24593§ionId=0&catalog=10 02-08-2002 08:13:02

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email I confirmed the link of the Nyditot webpage is wrong and brings up the WinCe 3.0 install file... you have to download the 2.11 file. NVD201_CE211.EXE is the correct, working file (during install of thr NVD201_CE211.CAB it says it is not for the ePods version - but ignore the error - it actually works! - NVD201_CE300.EXE is the WRONG file (but it still installs fine, without the error version message, yet doesn't work). Go figure. http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=3&productType=2&productId=24593§ionId=0&catalog=10 02-08-2002 14:21:06

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Randy Profile Wow, looks great a great development... What do web pages look like in compressed 800x600 resolution??? Randy 02-08-2002 15:15:31

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email They don't look better than at the default resolution, but you can definitly see more. I would say the higher resolutions are better for browsing than reading - but any text that is 'too small' to read can be instantly 'zoomed in' on and it looks perfect. At higher, non-compressed resolutions, the zooming works pretty well too. It has crashed on me a few times, but a quick soft reset and everything is back to normal. 02-08-2002 16:28:22

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email wonder how well that would work with Citrix Metaframe. I have an iPaq PocketPC and I really haven't found these screen orientation/compression programs (NYDITOT or JLandscaepe) very useful. Anything above the native resolution is pretty much illegible and the pan function is really a bit of a pain... Since the ePods has a large screen, it might be a better fit ! 02-08-2002 18:26:20

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) thrillho Profile | Email I installed the 2.11 MIPS version successfully (i.e. no errors when clicking on cab file) but when I launch the program, it states that the evaluation period has expired and requires an email address and reg code to continue. I've never installed it before, and the Nyditot support forums at pocketnow.com state that there should be a "register later" button. Did anyone else have this problem? 02-08-2002 22:41:19

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) PeteC Profile I would also agree application is best for reading E-Books in portrait mode. The 800X600 resolution a little bit difficult to read and updates to the screen are kind of slow. Running well though. No lockups so far. Good price for a needed application. Earlier this past year saw a hack (and regedit adjustments) regarding another app to be able to use portrait mod on the EPODS. 02-10-2002 23:11:06

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) PeteC Profile Going to default resolution up from 600x800 ..I can read fonts better and its very nice to surf using TS in potrait mode. 02-10-2002 23:57:19

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) HunterGreen Profile | Email I also got the "registration expired" message. Seems like a total dead end. :( 02-12-2002 18:25:17

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) PeteC Profile <HunterGreen> For HS/general surfing its a little bit too small...check out the Fujitsu 510 info on Fujitsu 1200 BBS....large screen easy to read and faster than the Epods... 02-12-2002 19:52:41

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) HunterGreen Profile | Email Not using it for HomeSeer right now, mostly as a notepad and ebook reader and GPS, with plans to also make it an RPG aid. 02-13-2002 07:29:27

RE:Change ePods Screen Resolution - nyditot (modified 0 times) thrillho Profile | Email Ok, I registered the software (for use on another CE device) and got past the registration screen, but now when I apply any changes it resets to a blank black screen. The ePods is unresponsive and I have to soft reset to return to normal. FYI - I'm using v1.02 of the hack. Is this why it isn't working? 02-25-2002 20:35:26
