[ooosadface]

Here are all of the tweak links I keep at my disposal. I plan to add more as I find them. I hope they help someone.

Also, there is a lot of other very useful information inside this thread posted by other users. I highly recommend reading through if you have some time to kill.

Attention x50/x50v users who have upgraded to WM 5:
- Do not use the ROM updates below. They are for WM 2003 SE (updates to the original x50/x50v ROMs.

Note for Juni's Stuff: If you are in true VGA mode then just download the VGA zip you want and extract the .tsk file to your device. Then get the regular version of that skin and use the WBA and PB skins from there. See this post for a little more info...If you run in 'Out Of the Box VGA (double pixilated) then use the entire VGA theme and skins.

Here's what I'm confused about. Do oz vga and se_vga work in conjunction with one another or should you pick one or the other?

They can, but aren't developed for that purpose.

I was using only Oz_VGA. But now here's what I have and what I'm doing...

- Oz_VGA.exe on a storage card.
- SE_VGA.exe on a storage card.
- Run Oz_VGA.exe, make my settings the way I like and apply them (soft reset required).

*** I don't click the Oz_VGA button. Without the Resource files in the Windows folder this option will crash!! ***

- Run SE_VGA.exe
- Select 'Real VGA!'
- Press 'Apply Changes' (soft reset required)

Viola!

I don't mind the 2 soft resets as I don't switch out of real VGA too often plus it frees up 1+ MB of main memory. If you go back and forth, give up the 1+ MB and only use Oz_VGA with the resource files in Windows.

Added link to x50mix versions .07, .071 and .08...

Added more VGA theme links...

[ooosadface]

Added memory upgrade link and cases links.

[ooosadface]

Added ROM update links and new version .10 of x50mix.

[AximMikeM]

This would be a nice sticky

[kazuni]

i suggest this be a sticky - for x50 only!

[Louse76]

Sticky!!!!

Hey great job! thanks - been very useful to me.

Quick question - how did you get the mini text to show up so clearly in PI5? I cant seem to find the setting for that anywhere - my text is Waaay tiny in true VGA mode (i tried your ozVGA settings - result is same as with oz=SE* 1.5 or 2).

Thanks again

[OnceAMatrixMan]

These VGA tweaking products, do they work with the x50v only or will they work with the other two Axims as well? Thanks.

The mini-text is in the font display for PI5. I'd get you a screen shot of exactly where, but I haven't got PI reloaded yet since I did my ROM upgrade. Maybe tomorrow.
You ought to be able to find it if you look through the fonts section in the settings.
