Flashhack Issue

[In-Tech]

Kind of off topic but may be relevant for future users. Stevo's awesome stuff only works on win7 or newer. I tried and tried to have it work via the serial port I have on my lappys. It never worked. If I used a keyspan(ftdi) usb to serial, it worked perfect. After much traffic logging it appears to be a windows problem although I was able to use John's(Tunercat) with Win7 and the serial port but the logging showed an incredible amount of retries that I don't normally see. It's like the newer windows stuff doesn't understand the original serial stuff, bleh.

i use a set of libraries called QT to make my code work with pretty much any operating system (some people even build flashhack and eehack to run natively on macos or linux)

unfortunately they dropped support for XP years ago

so yeah windows 7 minimum now

Hiya steveo,
I am hoping it didn't look like I was criticising, your stuff is awesome development and I look forward to any of your future endeavors. I have plenty of lappys for diff stuff :)
