New dictionaries? Solution to problem with ghosting? Only language russian and english? Possibility of change font by menu? Possibility of change font sizes by menu to sizes more comfortable than original firmware? |

Any chance someone could post the changelog in this thread in English (i don't read Russian sadly... although i remember being told it's just English with the R's backward)?
I'd like to know the exact differences and benefits, as i'm thinking about making the move |

Two things. First, do not unpack and repack the CRAMFS image under Windows or Cygwin. There are certain files in PRS-950 FW that do not unpack properly without full case sensitivity support in the filesystem. Second, do not recommend to go to an address, which may or may not be the same in different versions of this module. You could say "search for string such and such and replace it with the string such and such", but you shouldn't provide the address where to overwrite.

Lovely additions to the functionality. The only feature "missing" would be the ability to disable scanning of the SD card and instead browse its contents by folders, as the PRS+ firmware apparently does.
If that feature could be added for the PRS-650 then this would be perfect. Do you have any plans to add it? |

If there was a chance to get the Dutch language back, I would do this hack right away.

Hello Nick,
based on the test-startup script of recent PRS650.Flash.Package.1.05j.zip it should be possible to reload dutch language assets. First install version 1.05j. Then, according to borodas FAQ, place the folder test-startup (see attached rar-archive) in the root of IM. The folder contains a modified "startup.sh" script, and a sub-folder nl. There I placed the original dutch asset.xml and the english about.xml - needed to configure the hacks. Restart the reader w/o connection to USB. If all works out the russified laguage-asset will again be replaced by the dutch one. If something didn't work. Restart reader attached to USB and remove/rename the test-startup folder in IM. Please note, that you are doing this at your own risk. Last edited by Mark Nord; 01-07-2011 at 10:31 AM. Reason: messed up with about.xml -> corrected now |

What does it mean to "russify" the ebook library and how is it done? Is this something you need the Sony software for?

This is valide for epub, lrf (and rtf - not so sure). Additional Info can be found here: here If you don't use Reader Library to manage your files, just copy them to the reader like to any other removeable media, there are no other steps to be taken after russification. HTH Mark |

Another question: I couldn't get the firmware to flash using Ubuntu so I borrowed a Windows machine for that. For future reference, is there a way to flash it using Ubuntu and I'm just doing things wrong? I'd like to know in case I ever want to update the firmware again. |

The flashing software depends on a Windows DLL for access to the Reader, so the answer to your question is no.

Love the new option to bind the TOC to one of the custom buttons. That was sorely needed, and I don't know why Sony buried the TOC in the menus. Didn't make much sense. But this fixes it. Thanks porkupan for your work on this!
