I am trying to get the version of 3.0 to load in emulation mode in windows so I can test my mods. I can get the emulator started, mount the flash disk, but none of the applications will run. I have tried the navi, phone and main menu.

 

Any ideas? I am following the instructions on the wiki.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Wiki is for 2.0. Supposedly that will run fine. 3.0 has not been worked out yet.

Substitute maps you want 9try to keep one map in content\map though, and it does not seem to like the basemap...), add your DATA.ZIP and have fun.

 

It does also work with 3.0 firmware just fine.

Hey Boris, is a second program needed to run that file? I'm not sure how to use it. Any help would be appreciated!

 

EDIT: Ok, I got it to run WinCE but i can't make it show the AVIC. How is that done?

If you launch the emulator with the run.bat file in there (edit the file for your particular disk structure, of course) it will attach avic80 folder as avic's flash disk (that's what /sharedfolder parameter does). ?????? once WinCE boots, double-click on My Device, navigate to APL2 and double-click on EZRider...

That helps a lot! I now have got it to show the Pioneer boot screen but after a few seconds, some random russian message(I'm not 100% sure what language it is) appears and then the whole program quits. Any ideas on how to get past this?

Then the application is missing something. In my case it said it in english and so piece by piece i could add what was missing... i think u should try to interpret the "russian" or find a way to change the language... Can u make a screen copy with the message? Maybe one person here can read it. :)

I'm sure the message wasn't random but something important :)

 

Add the language file file from your system (they are in content\lang) and remove the Russian one. It should give you better readable messages then.

I changed out the language file and now I'm getting a message that says "Your map files are out of date", but they are the maps that pioneer sent me with the 3.0 update. After I click "OK" on this message, nothing happens. It just shows me the Pioneer loading screen forever. How can I get past that? Sorry for all the stupid questions, but thank you very much for your help!

how do u even get this thing to run? I double clicked on the bat file and it did nothing?

It's been tricky but I've finally got it. You need to edit the .bat file and in the file you will see that it says deviceemulator.exe. First you need to download Microsoft Device Emulator and install it on your computer. Then go to the .bat file and in front of "deviceemulator.exe" you need to type the location of that file. For example: "C:/program files/microsoft device emulator/1.0/deviceemulator.exe" That is most likely where it will be installed. And make sure to include quotation marks. Then, there is another part in that .bat file that refers to a folder that Boris gave us the download link for called avic_80. You need to type another file location for that one as well. This is what mine looks like: C:/Users/Brian/4pda_avic/avic_80. Then just save the .bat file and double click it to make it run. When you do, it will open up WinCE and you can click on My Flash Disk >> APL2 >> iGo >> ezrider.exe

 

That will start up the emulator for you. Just put the map file you want in the map folder and put the language file you want in the lang folder and you will be good to go.

totally lost!! the bat file only say run not deviceemulator

Posted Aug 21, 2009 · 16:25 UTC#13

so should the bat file be like this?

 

"C:/program files/microsoft device emulator/1.0/deviceemulator.exe" /video 800x480x16 /memsize 256 /sharedfolder C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Desktop\avic_80

 

i keep getting error?

Add a license for a hacked EZRider then, or try maps that people download here... Those should work.

Copy the run.bat and nk.bin to C:/program files/microsoft device emulator/1.0/ and run it from there. Then put C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Desktop\avic_80 into quotes like this "C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Desktop\avic_80"

 

At the end add back the /c nk.bin you deleted.

i get specify either a .bin file containg an os image or emulator saved state file?

Here...this is EXACTLY what my .bat file looks like. Just try copying it and changing the locations of the files to match your computer. Only change the things in bold. The first bold part should point to the deviceemulator.exe and the second part just needs to point to the avic_80 folder that came with the download that Boris gave us.

 

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0\deviceemulator.exe" /video 800x480x16 /memsize 256 /sharedfolder C:\4pda_avic\avic_80 /c nk.bin

Close... like this. You missed a space:

 

deviceemulator.exe /video 800x480x16 /memsize 256 /sharedfolder "C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\Desktop\avic_80" /c nk.bin

My only obstacle to getting this working has mounted in an effort to get the correct ezrider and license file. This will allow me to update my maps and also get me the navteq maps anyway. After TONS of searching and reading I have the 3.01 ezrider and the [email protected] license file. Does anyone have a 3.01 or 2.06 backup on a server someplace? My card reader does not work with my 4gb SD card here at work and all I have is a 3.0 backup. I can only assume this is why ezrider starts and quickly exits? At home my other laptop has a built in SD card reader but that doesn't help me now. :-(

Browse to the flash disk, apl2/igo and launch ezrider

Posted Aug 21, 2009 · 18:52 UTC#22

you just need to open up the My Flash Disk and then open the folder APL2 and then the folder iGo and then just open up the ezrider.exe file and it will boot for you

 

EDIT: ok diaftia beat me to it...haha!

its in russian. If i wanted to put a modded data file in can i do it to see what the screen will look like?

Posted Aug 21, 2009 · 19:54 UTC#24

Yes you can, and to make it in english you just need to copy the english language file from the "lang" folder of your backed up files into the "lang" folder of the new files you just downloaded.

As was mentioned in the very first post in this thread :)

 

Of course some people just never read and really sholdn't be messing with these things... :lol:
