Thread: Your install's best/most unique feature

For hardware it's probably the 2.3"x2.7" custom dc2dc power supply, or the extensive mods I made to the head unit for getting the sound in, and the switch on control out.

For software it's gonna be the custom software I wrote, including dos sound drivers for the es1869 sound chip, fast precompiled playlist loading for a fast boot, the DOS port of mpg123 for playing and the way it caches up to two songs in memory at once so that it doesn't need to stream off disc, avoiding the possibility of skipping and reducing the possibility of head crashes (I could shut down the hard drive between songs if necessary). The menu system is just boring.

Overall, it's probably the size of my player (12"x6"x2" including psu).

For hardware, the Lexan case. For software, the voice features using the MS Speech SDK.

For hardware it would have to be the Discolitez rig I made (round thing with lights), it moves along with the music.....

And the drilled logo I made...

And I also made a 4 button control for winamp that connects to the serial port.

Not much special about my software, other than the Winamp AVS visualizations I made. You can find the ones I made for the car here.

Are you going to release any of it as maybe freeware?
I would be interested in playing around with some of it.

Thanx, I will be checking out your site then. I must have missed the info when you posted it before. I stayed away from the boards for about a year or more untill I got my system up. Seeing all the great systems on here and not having one gets kind of depressing.

custom software interface application and custom 'plywood' carpeted case would have to be mine. You cant beat the look and feel of a carpeted computer case...... hrmm... maybe looking at going shagpile....
