Okay, v248 is out. This release is primarily for Mk1 users.

New in this version are: 
  •  The Button Illumination Level menu item now also appears on Mk1 players, chewing up a bit of memory, but allowing control of the brightness levels of the button LEDs (if you've installed the hardware add-on kit).

  •  The /proc/ entries for empeg_kernel and empeg_bootlogos now appear on Mk1 players, as well as Mk2(a).  This is to allow animation customization using a shell utility (see below).

  •  A new external aniwrite utility is now available, which can be used on Mk1/Mk2(a) players at the shell prompt, to customize (or reset) the boot animation without using JEmplode.  Since Mk1 users cannot currently use JEmplode for boot animations, this may be useful to them.  Note to Mike: add code to JEmplode to write animations using the serial link!

    

    I've attached the source code of animwrite.c to this posting.

    

    Both the source, and a pre-compiled binary (ready to run) will appear on the Hijack site (at the top of the page), along with v248, shortly.

    

    Cheers
