Try rebooting the Reader (using the reset button).

I have rebooted but it doesn't helps.

You could also see if you have enough free space.

My internal free space is 80 MB. I think this should be enough.
My SD card has 16 MB

Upps my posting disappeared, once again

I have rebooted the reader but it dosn't helps.

My internal space is 80 MB
My SD card has 16 MB.

Maybe I made a mistake as I installed the hack builder to my SD card. That means I don't have a card reader and therefore I used my digital camera.
I downloaded the file to my PC, than I unzipped the file to my SD card what was inside the camera. Afterthan I took the card into the reader.

I'm not sure whether it is a flashed reader problem or not. Thing is that when pressing the enter button in the slideshow and lock screen feature I get nothing. Is there anybody that could possibly help me to solve that out?

Hacks I have applied are the Clock, Copy, Delete Book, Diablo's Icons, Direct Page Control, Joystick Flip Page and Small Menu Font hacks ...

Looks like it's not an error in your flashing. I'm seeing the same behavior on mine. I'll have to take a look into it to see why it's not working properly in those situations.

Thank you so much, I'll be waiting if anything new comes up.

how does one get the Copy Book hack to work?

I read the other thread, but what does SIZE+MARK mean? Does it mean both together at the same time? Does it mean SIZE then MARK? And from what screen?

Same question for the memory refresh SIZE+SIZE.

Thanks

It means press Size and then press Mark. Same for Size and then Size again. If you're using Hack Builder, there is a pretty decent description of the steps in the Help menu (Help->Hacks...)

I must have my hacks back!

.NET is a programming framework that contains a large set of Microsoft libraries designed for use with C++/C# apps. You can get it from Microsoft's site.

Thanks for the explanation. I am back in business now. Hacks created, reader flashed-- now I can devote myself to Trollope for a few hours!

Thanks also for this wonderfu hack! It really adds to the ease and the pleasure of using the reader. I continue to be impressed with the knowledge and the helpfulness of the users of this forum.

You're very welcome. Enjoy!

This doesn't work on the 505 does it?

JSWolf · 01-22-2008, 05:46 PM

Not yet. We'll have to wait till after the first firmware update for the 505 for anything to possibly happen.

Hopefully soon!

I used hackbuilder to flash several hacks into my reader, including the page flip and history hacks. Everything is working beautifully except the history function. When I flip the joystick up or down, I get the same effect as when I flip left or right. Down gives me the next page, even if I have never been to that page before. (If I jump to a distant page using direct page access, up and down simply give me the following or previous page.)

Do I misundertand something here? I think I checked the box for History when building the hacks--at least I intended to. (If I hadn't included something, shouldn't the up and down joystick moves do nothing?)

The history hack is not nearly so important to me as the page flip, but I would like to fix it if I can. Do I need to reflash the reader? And if so must I reinstall the firmware to get rid of the hacks that are presently there?
