Hi folks,
I wasn't going to release these until I'd finish the help file, but as they've already filtered out - I thought I may as well; and this thread will contain the latest release(s).
Firstly, as always when playing with ROMs be careful as you may end up killing your device - use these tools at your own risk!
These tools are Windows GUI based and allow you to:
• View and modify ROM file header information
• Decode Extended ROM files (e.g. ms_.nbf)
• Extract FAT16 image from ROM files
• Extract embedded splash screens
• Remove extraneous data surrounding FAT16 images
• Encode FAT16 images to ROM files
• Insert splash screens into new ROM files
But you'll find not all functionality is available for all devices.
I'll post the help file (with a user guide) when it's ready, but in the meantime feel free to have a play and help me test the apps :wink:
Bal
We at here very proud of you bal666!
great job.....keep it up!
I'm not doing a Windows GUI again ... had to learn MFC ... and yuck!
But thanks for the vote of confidence!!
By the way, if anyone knows what the ROM header fields called Unknown really are, I would very much like to know.
And yes, I've recently realised that the field I call "Device ID" is actually the memory location the ROM should be dumped to (well that's my current thinking anyway)...
Cheers
Bal
Your a star Bal66
Thanks
great app!
thank you bal!!

Hello bal666,
Thanks so much for this great program .. I tried it with my imate PDA2K and it encodes the files and decode it correctly .. The thing is , how I can modify the .fat file or edit it ?! ,, I found a program to unpack .fat files but not to pack it back again .. I hope you can tell us how we can manage the *.fat file m8
Thanks again m8 for this nice program and best wishes & regards :wink:
Great Tools
Great....great tools bal666!!!

You can add or delete cab file and modified Ext ROM by your own using *.fat files, you can mount it using extra drive pro, and use lika other disk....
Is this a tool for exposing the Extended ROM on my magician? Sorry for the n00b question, but i dont get the start post.
Hawk_mate,
cornelius is right - use Extra Drive Creator Pro (you can download a demo version), or if you use linux then you can mount the file as a fat type.
If you use extra drive creator then turn off the recycle bin for the mounted drive - otherwise you'll have fun deleting files from it!!
I will finish the help file, and it contains all of this info...
Yzord,
nope, it won't expose the extended rom - it will allow you to modify the image file (ms_.nbf) that's used when flashing new roms to your device.
I think there may be a program around that will allow you edit the extended rom on your device (do a search, cause I don't really know!).
Have fun
Bal
Before Help file from Bal
Maybe before bal release the help file i'l post my experience while using his tool, ( I'm using for Magician and alpine ). I hope it will help newbie like me to learn more.Once again it newbie guide sorry if look basic but it's from newbie to newbie.
First, my own opinion say "THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO EDIT YOUR EXT ROM" thanks to bal!!! (even for newbie like me)
Maybe the tools you need is:
1. Bal's ROM editor (Ofcourse)
Tool to encode you EXT ROM ( Contains programs that installed
auto when we do hard reset.
2. Extra Drive pro
To mount ms_.fat file after we decode our EXT rom...
3. MaUpgradeUt_NoID
To update your ROM
For extra:
1. nb_image_converter_859_418
To create your own splash screen ( Only need 320x240, jpeg/bmp file)
2. comdlg32_901
Don't know what..but if you didn't run it,nb_image_converter_859_418
will fail to run
Now take a journey:
1. Just extract bal's ROM tool and you can run it....chose decode...
2. Browse your ext rom (ms_.nbf),press next
3. just leave option.... but if you want you can extrak the splash screen
(so you can keep the original, who knows you'll miss it)
4. Then run your Extra DrivePro...
5. Chose file to drive, browse your ms_.fat file, mount...
6. Turn of recycle bin on that drive!!!
7. Edit your Ext ROM...( add or delete app ) Don't for get edit txt file...
8. Cole it and dismount but dont delete container...
9. If you want to edit your splash screen go to step 14 first
10. Run bal's ROM tool again, chose encode
11. Browse your *.fat file, (and *.nb file if you want change splashscreen)
12. Run Encode, move your ms_.nbf to update file of ROM...
13. Ready to update using "MaUpgradeUt_NoID", first you'll get
"Country ID Error", DON'T WORRY JUST RUN IT ONCE again...
14. Get your image file, must 320x240 sized
15. Run "comdlg32_901" just one time only
16. Run "nb_image_converter_859_418" browse your pict
17. Save as nb....
18. Back to step 10
Hope those step by step will help newbie like me...
Yup even you newbie don't be affraid to try .if affraid, you'll never find something new....
My suggest just: Have a original ROM back up...so if you have a trouble just go to bootloader, and install the original ROM
Ok... have nice try...
Anyone tried this on the main rom yet, the nk_.nbf? I don't w
nt to sound dis-respectful, the tool is marvelous, but I'd like to hack the camera for instance with the updated one. I'm havin BS, so why cook my ext_rom as i'm not even using it. Just want to create a rom that can doesn't need any patches anymore. Know what I mean
Cheers, M
Excellent app :lol: thanks
Cornelius,
nice instructions! Always worth having a quick guide - thanks.
oltp,
you can use the tool to decode the nk_.nbf file - but the result isn't a fat image. I'm sure I've seen tools on this forum somewhere which allow you to extract and insert files into this file ... have a look around - please do post your results as we'd all be interested to know how it goes.
Bal
Bal I will, only not sure when. It can take some time & takes some serious amount of courage to flash my own magician with a cooked os-rom.
Cheers, M
Absolutely - I'm a coward at heart!!
Many thanks for this collection of excellent tools. Already use a few of them for my own cooking

First I thought you were totally nuts since there is a lenghty thread of the CAB to OEM...but I think you want OEM to CAB.. Anyway if you have WinCE Cab Mgr then it is not rocket science and you should be able to figure it out without any help since WinCE Cab Mgr is really easy to use.
Why not just download the CAB's of the programs to start with?
Total Commander (Free): http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
1-Calc (I assume if you buy it you get a cab): http://www.omegaone.com/calc/ppc/default.htm
Ok thanks all for ur help, sorry for the inconvince but i really like some of the stuff u guys put in your roms and i dont like some of the stuff, so I just thought that all the cab files could be made and all us none experts could install the nice programs u guys got.
Thanks
Hi,
As I've seen in the ROM-section, dutty provides a new ROM with a new opera build 15613 which is supposed to support embedded flash content... as I don't want to flash a full rom, I'm looking for a cab install file of this new opera version...
...can somebody provide or give a link, pls?
regards jan
it is downloadable on his website as a seperate cab
What is the link?
I went to his website and I was not able to find it.
just ask him, i sure he will be more than happy to post it
Is there a QVGA/WQVGA version?
+1 after it as well please
opera build 15613
http://rapidshare.com/files/204492087/opera_15613.rar.html
inside the rar is also flash lite if anyone wants it.
That flash lite that is included in the zip, what is it for?
Flash?
Decent enough build of Opera but it doesn't have any more Flash integration than any other build I have seen. I installed the FlashLite package too - nothing! Anyone else seen the same?
yes its the same for me,
anyone got a site that shows the flash lit actually working in opera.
We all need FLASH.

IMPORTANT! - In order to make use of the full capabilities of this codec pack, you will need to install the altered version of TCPMP from bimbam69, it is included in the Installers above, along with it's attendant files, you can download it separately as a ZIP Archive Here (For Advanced Users): http://www.mediafire.com/?ig3a2iimlnu
ALSO - Please be sure to uninstall all previous versions of this, or any other codec pack, AND your current install of TCPMP.

AC3
AMR
ASAP

SIPR.DLL
FILTERS.DLL (Don't know what it does... Seems to improve playback)
WMA9PRODECODER.DLL (For those who need it)
WMV9DECODER.DLL (For those who need it)
This installation is smaller, due to the fact that many of the dependencies on external DLL's have been removed, and the plugins have been recompiled to be smaller, and more efficient.
The TCPMP Executable now features a working equalizer!
Many of the modifications were done by bimbam69, see his continuing development/release thread Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636423 for his other versions, including one with skin support!
The rmplugin was created by ghosting from pdafans.com Thread Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645456
CURRENT VERSION = 5.7.1
Version 5.7.1 represents a significant graphics upgrade, specifically in the executable itself, the player controls, and the icons in the file explorer!
For installation cleanup, delete SetupDLL.dll/Setup.dll whichever one is present...
Enjoy!
EDIT: 10/22/2010
It's finally Here!
I have just released the latest edition of the Master Codec Pack, Version 6.0! Here is its release thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8756268
Enjoy!
Someone was looking for audio/video players thus I uploaded what I had. pocket music v 5.x has a free version - doesn't have working x-boost nor working equalizer.
Thanks for the effort, mate!

So... is this build a failed one?
?
awesum codec pack man. had some issues with your downloads though. i downloaded both the cab and pc exe zips. both of em when downloaded didnt come out as zips. just files labeled tcpmp and they werent associated with any program on my pc or phone(htc ozone). so i downloaded just ur codecs.so i went to bimbam69s thread and downloaded his current version of the player. got that working. it of course came with some codecs that work but not all of yours. my question is, seems i got the player from bimbams thread, is how do i associate your codecs with the player? i thought they had to be placed in the windows dir then the device had to be soft reset. when i installed bimbams version, the codecs are in the tcpmp folder and i cant find them in the windows dir. so do i need to just add yours to the tcpmp folder and soft reset? and should i replace his codecs with yours? sorry for the novel but, i know most of the devs like all the feedback they can get. thanks in advance for any help.

It appears you may have installed the program incorrectly, these are not .ZIP files, except for the library, and the standalone player package. The .CAB is an executable installer, you must copy it to your device, and then execute it there, it will place all the files where they need to go, it should NOT be extracted. The .EXE is to be executed from your PC when your device is connected via ActiveSync. the ZIP archive is for advanced users who plan on experimenting. you should not place any files into the "Windows" directory, they should all be in the "TCPMP" program folder. After installation, you will need to set the file associations within the Options/Settings/File Associations submenu, Also, only replace the codecs you feel you need to, the ones in this pack are the most advanced ones available, including the most recent ones compiled by bimbam69.
UPDATE: It appears I placed a version of FFMPEG into the installer designed especially for XScale Processors, this may be why so many of you were experiencing crashes. That oversight has been rectified, and versions of FFMPEG that are processor specific have been added to the ZIP Archive, all links have also been updated accordingly. The current file version is 5.0.1
my bad. wrote that novel and i still managed to not be clear. the codec archive is the only file i extracted. the installers(cab and pc exe) downloaded as those weird files, for me anyways. again, just downloaded the version from bimbams thread so, no biggie. was just curious about the dlls and plgs really. the last version of tcpmp i had i had to put the codecs in the windows dir. if thats not the case here and just placing them in the tcpmp folder work, even better!

Try renaming the file extension from ".ON2" to ".FLV", It should work then.
the files are are already flv, when i try to play it on core player it tell me that the are on2 vp6
Today I downloaded cab version. When I started the program I received following "Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit".
I attached crash.txt
Posible solution for crashes
Attached crash.txt clearly mentions sorenson.plg as a reason for a crash. So you need to delete that plugin as it turns incompatible. If you will not play videos containing Sorenson 3 (SVQ3) codec you'll not gonna miss it . Also make sure you remove registry entry named TCPMP from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, this wil ensure fresh and clean start of tcpmp.
EDIT: Some people say that new build of player.exe is not getting well with original(oficial) plugins. I tend to disagre because they work well on my device running wm6.5, but when i was testing these builds on Windows mobile 6.5 emulator, the original plugins didn't work (i can't remember was it a crash or not ) other wersions of winmo were running like a charm though. So to sum up it might be your OS that f**** up everything
Just i have 2 questions ,
-how i can upgrade to windows mobile 6.5 ?, tried to look in the forum but it was not clear.
-How i can play wav files on windows mobile, I've got corePlayer 1.3.6 but don't know how to let windows mobile to use it to play the .wav files automatically ?
WM6.5 and WAV
Hi
The best way to upgrade to WM6.5 is to choose a ROM which you like and flash it.
Yet, if you didn't do it already, please carefully read the instructions for not bricking your device by a mistake. After the first time - it is like riding a bike.
all you need to know can be found here: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
As for playing .WAV files, you can use the standard MediaPlayer or use Nitrogem, which is one of the *BEST* applications I found (read here).
Hope I helped
How i can play wav files on windows mobile, I've got corePlayer 1.3.6 but don't know how to let windows mobile to use it to play the .wav files automatically ?
