PhatHack DMS Tools v2.12 - Available Now - NEW! 11/June/2008

[Terry_Kennedy]

Sorry, being the christmas period my ISP hasn't been around to get the problem resolved.  I have a date of 7th January.  I'm pretty sure I have a copy of the install media on my work machine but unfortunately I switched that off as I finished work on the 22nd for the christmas break.

I'll have an alternative link available on Monday.

In the meantime, anybody who needs it before VorTechS' ISP gets his connection fixed can download it from here. I'll remove the link when the official site comes back up, or sooner if someone objects.

I can't access the documentation, is that available somewhere else?

[VorTechS]

Thanks Terry!

I've also added an alternative link for the Tools (on the main page) so we have plenty to choose from now!

Unfortunately the only documentation I can find seems to only relate to the hack wizard... so rather than make that available (given the old one was out of date and never updated for the new tools version anyway) I'll re-create the documentation.

I'll also be making a big effort to get a new version of the tools done over the next few weeks - having made the relevant changes to PhatHack Media Manager so that both can be installed side-by-side.

OK.
Although I have had my Phatbox in an Audi for a while, I've only just come across this great site.
I have a copy of v2.12 but I don't have a set of instructions, the documentation links do not work.
What are the steps that I take to hack my 20GB Audi PB?

[VorTechS]

I'm currently writing the replacement documentation, I hope to have it completed sometime in the next hour or so....

[VorTechS]

Okay, I managed to find some other documentation I had written for the integration of the tools into PhatHack Media Manager which contained a lot of the old instructions, if not all of them for the purposes of running the hack wizard.

I've updated it to be the latest version of the DMS tools (v2.12) which the previous documentation had not been - so the instructions should be fully appropriate now...and I'll continue updating this documentation to cover the new features introduced by this version of the tools.

Many thanks.
I managed to unlock my Phatbox (very easy to do with the tools) and now in the process of installing a 160GB hdd in my DMS.
Brilliant....

I've managed to recover my 20 GB original DMS and hacked my Volvo Phatbox (at least it said it was unlocked . Now I'm trying to get a 160 GB new DMS working (just as the previous message). I can use PhatHHack MM and PhatBox Music Manager 2.30, but not PhatBox MEDIA Manager (problems with DMS ID, it says). I need PMM 3.92 because of voice tags. Does anybody know anyway to get this working?

It worked!!!!

Sorry for not finding it myself. It worked.

What I don't understand is why sometimes before PMM 3.92 worked and some other times it didn't. I found that wiping the DMS from Phatnoise MUSIC Manager made it work with PMM 3.92, but that meant deleting all my files ...

By now I only have to find a way to use PMM 3.92 in Windows 7 (x64). Everything works (I use it to generate my TTS sounds) but drag&drop. It seems something to do with 16 & 32 bit apps in an isolate space of memory.

Sorry for writing this in this thread, but I wanted to THANK YOU for your tools. They are really GREAT.

Experienced the same issue as on the previous. Had to disconnect/reconnect the phatbox and re-apply the patch before i could finish it in the GUI.

Thanks for this nice tool, i used the 2.12 version. This is latest i found..

Grtz,
