yes it it all in the newbies faq

its a manual process, when @pete the admin comes along he will sort it, until then its a wait

its here if you want to read, link should go to the right post so as i see it, if you donate now it goes to the end of jan, unless things have changed

i guarantee that a standard graphics card with the same number as barcrest use won't work, even if it is the exact identical part, barcrest ones are not the same even if everything matches

yeah i had the same thing too when i sold stuff, exactly the same! and the hassle on the forums for 'making coin from poor collectors' which is why i stopped releasing everything and just did things for myself because it interested me. you think your helping people out but everyone is just wanting to suck off your work for there own profitable ends!. that's why i release nothing since then

I found these pictures from october 2014 when i was messing, just by modifying the cards physically they worked perfectly, originals are gigabyte blue ones, these are a different model and green, but the mods worked! it was my proof barcrest did something to them!

I did mess about with MK5 T7 graphic cards and did work out the changes from the standard cards, and was able to modify a standard version of the same type bought off ebay to work happily on T7 as the T7 see it as a barcrest one, this was back around 2015 when i was messing with them, so definitely they are modified to barcrest needs. I did buy a big box of them at the time to change then to barcrest type for T7 as barcrest T7 ones were really expensive at the time! but it bit the dust, didnt progress with that, just being able to work out what barcrest did was good enough for me. it was only the electronics on them that interested me

yes that is exactly what happens, same as you from memory, Even if its the correct graphics card that still happens if it has not been 'processed' by barcrest on T7, i don't know about T8, i never got round to investigating T8

as far as i am aware, 20 plus years on and it has not been accomplished

no, for t7 there are a mk4 a mk5 and a mk6 pc being the latest, every version has it's own 'tailored' software and mpu5 mpu, one wont run on the other. for t8 i believe they only used the one pc, the mk6 which mpu5 or mpu6 would run on, but of course the mpus ran different firmware.

well you can try it, but what i have read in the past it need the exact motherboard that was used, and if its a T7 the right graphic card, just any old motherboard and graphic card wont do!. I know for a fact you can buy the right graphic card, but it still wont work as barcrest modified them as there own. but good luck if you try. they locked them down very well

if it was that easy it would have been done by now, it is embedded win xp with very specific hardware it is all locked down to

have a read (a please and / or a thankyou would be very appropriate when asking questions, its not like anyone here is getting paid to answer! peoples time is given for free)

scroll to the bottom of the page and change the theme, this usually fixes the problem, its a known issue with invision forums that has not yet been fixed by them

yeah agreed just spotted that, needs to be updated really doesn't it
