jarob10 enthusiast Registered: 07/01/2002 Posts: 274 Loc: Stockport, UK	Can anyone confirm the most recent software release which has a fully operational tuner? I was gonna upgrade to 3.0 for this reason (following a planned memory upgrade), but I believe this version may have tuner operation issies. _________________________ A coward you are, an expert on bulls you are not.

If you want to be able to make use of extra memory and not have to worry about your tuner functioning improperly, you should use v2.01. It's an update to 2.00 that allows for the detection of extra RAM installed onto the player.

DeadFire addict Registered: 30/05/2002 Posts: 695	Oh, I didn't know that. I don't actually have a tuner myself. And if I did I don't think I'd force myself to listen to the garbage coming over the airwaves around here. Anyhow, 2beta13 won't recognize the extra RAM, will it? I know Hijack will, but that means only Hijack will get to use it, right?

Or do what I do -- don't bother listening to the radio -- I only have the tuner installed for the stalk interface. _________________________ -- roger

robricc carpal tunnel Registered: 30/10/2000 Posts: 4931 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Quote: So install 2b13 and set up a bunch of presets, and then install 2.01. The US is quite a bit bigger than England. Drive about 45 miles and if you want to hear some local flavor, you're going to have to seek. Of course, it's very rare I listen to the radio as well. It's sometimes good to see what's going on though. Another suggestion would be that when you open v2.0 back up (which was a freak occurrence anyway), fix the effing tuner issue! _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736
