[AzzzzZ]

complimenti per il coraggio

[lukaspop]

Al Momento il mio ordine risulta così :

Order Status: Payment Received


Cmq peccato perchè avrei preferito usare la postepay..


gli ordine che ho provato a fare con la poste pay ecco come risultano :

Order Date: 3/18/2005 3:29:50 PM
Order Status: Checked Out

Order Date: 3/18/2005 3:27:23 PM
Order Status: Checked Out


Vi terrò aggiornati..

ps dopo tanti pregiudizi e paure ho usato la mia visa su intenet.. speriamo che non me la clonino ! cmq dovrebbe essere sicuro..

[Colasante 5]

Beh, allora credo che non abbiano ancora preso visione dell'ordine, mi sa che dovrai aspettare fino a lunedi per sapere se la spedizione è immediata...
Cmq credo (e spero) che ci si possa fidare ad usare la VISA con una società di lungo corso come la Datel

[lukaspop]

ma si sono ottimista..

cmq dalle email che mi hanno mandato pare proprio che li abbiano..

io intanto faccio da cavia , poi vi tengo informati..

sto aspettando anche i mini princo dalla germania..

la mia massima asporazione sarebbe di nn dover ritarare la lente.. sperem..

Ahia
Spero che i soldi non li incassino prima di un controllo da parte del personale sull'effettiva disponibilità della merce ordinata...
Certo che questi di Codejunkies stanno facendo un bel po' di confusione...prima ti arriva l'email in cui dicono che l'articolo non è disponibile, poi un'altra in cui scrivono che in precedenza non era disponibile ma adesso ce l'hanno (e allora come mai nel sito è sempre indisponibile? )...e ora addirittura ti respingono l'ordine! Bah, secondo me ci vorrebbe un po' più di chiarezza...
Cmq ti consiglio di fare un saldo sul tuo conto lunedì mattina e, eventualmente, fatti bloccare il pagamento...credo che in certi casi la prudenza non sia mai troppa
Però cerca di essere fiducioso, non penso che un'azienda come la loro "freghi" i soldi in maniera così subdola...
E mi raccomando, tienici aggiornati sugli sviluppi

P.S.: Mi sa che il mio scetticismo sulla disponibilità in tempi brevi del Max Drive Pro era fondato...ho paura che dovremo appellarci all'AR Max Evo...

novità sul fronte ripper gc

DRE…


Before we start talking about GC's DRE we must come back a little bit
into the PS2's burning coil issue.
PS2 has Disc Reading Errors but you don't get an explicit message on
the screen. All what you need to do is to adjust the laser's
potentiometer, to clean the lens or to adjust horizontal alignment of
the mechanics. It can't be corrected with software patch or any other
miracle software manipulation. If the laser is poor then reading is
poor.
Disc Reading Errors on PS2 look as choppy sound and video but you
don't get a message on the screen. PS2 tries to read, read and read
and finally it increases voltages supplied to the laser diode and
coils until it burns. Here is the problem!
Especially PSTwo behaves not properly. It tries to read even when it
doesn't see the disc's surface, it tries to focus the lens at any
cost causing well known metallic sound and then smelt of burnt
insulation :-)


GC has some kind of protection against PS2 syndrome built in. When GC
can't read then it rejects media immediately not causing lens
oscillations and finally not making you feel the very known smelt :-)
If somebody is planning to disable this protection mechanism he will
contribute to your new headache … burnt GC laser :-)
Please note that both power circuits which are driving coils, sled
and spindle are very small, without heat sinks. If you let them to
read unreadable media you will dissipate some unwanted watts and you
will burn the device.


If you Google a little bit you will find plenty of official forums.
If you read them carefully you will learn that many brand new GC
machines have reading problems of new and not scratched DVD's. Many
people are fooled by forums belonging to the so called "scene". GC
laser simply doesn't like DVDR media. If somebody says that the tenth
update will cure DREs he is not telling the truth. He can only make
you sick of returned machines with characteristic smelt. Prepare
yourself for mass BA/LA/RS or whatever replacements :-)


The Ripper Team will monitor the situation very carefully and will
issue the flash update for the Ripper///GC when it is necessary and
if it is necessary. Until now our chip is bug free. Try it as many
others did it already.
We don't want to tell you too much but we know something for certain.
We can give you one advice. Please read our specification carefully
and one sentence particularly: "Extremely good timings and logic
levels on the high speed GC bus". Try to use the scope and compare
The Ripper///GC with others, and finally try to finish that sentence
:-) We love to give such puzzles to our students :-)


We strongly forewarn you against experimenting with untested anti DRE
solutions on your customers. Remember, you sell pre modified machines
to the end users. They will flash their chips without reflection,
blindly believing that new solution will cure something. What will
happen if they start returning dead and burnt lasers? Please don't
play with laser protection :-)


The Ripper///GC is not easy reprogrammable but it obligates us to
make a good product from the beginning. Both The Ripper///GC and The
Ripper3.1 can be reprogrammed by external flash programmer with help
of small PCI-DIL adapter. Updates are dangerous in general. Also
original products can be cloned by analyzing differences in software
updates so we prefer to make bug free product from the beginning.
If we recall the history of software updates of some well known chips
we can say that updates has finished as fast as they appeared! Some
of them were giving you updates almost every week, repairing endless
bugs and creating others. How do you resellers can live with it? What
do you say to your customers, end users? Do you say them that you
sell not working product which will be updated in the unknown future
or what?


Some other discoveries…


1. The Propeller blade effect


Before you burn particular DVDR please inspect the disc visually. GC
drive is sensitive on "propeller blade effect" of DVD media. Before
you burn it please put blank DVDR into opened GC and look
horizontally if your particular blank disc rotates smoothly. Look at
the outer edge of the disc if there is up and down movement or not.
You can make a simple test. Find the blank DVDR with the huge
propeller effect and burn 2 discs with the same image. You will
notice that smoothly rotating DVD works but the second one doesn't
even start. Some new original games from the shop are distorted from
the beginning and not modified consoles can't read them properly.


2. The heat


You can make another test. Disconnect the cooling fan from your GC.
You will notice that after some minutes you will get one big DRE. We
assume that laser unit is overheated causing poor Signal to Noise
ratio. You have the oven just below the laser.
If the cooling is not adequate then it can cause DVD to distort
(propeller blade effect). It explains why DVDs, even silver
originals, stop being read properly after some time of using it. So
we come back to the focus coil failures on PS2 when the lens must
move up and down to balance the propeller blade effect. By disabling
protection mechanism you will probably kill the laser coils and the
coil driver and you will need another summ0ne plus some tons of
replacement parts :-)
Try to use DVD+R because in our opinion they work better. Use
Verbatim or TDK only and test them for distortion. Remove DVD just
after you stop playing.


Conclusion


GC drive has some reading problems in general. It has too slow
processor for tracking the distortion of DVD media but it has
excellent protection mechanism against laser failure :-)
All rumors regarding the possibility of correcting DRE in software
are only rumors and we call it La Guerre des Puces :-)

Il mio ordine all'inizio risultava payment received , ma se nn ho capito male è la prima fase dove di fatto i soldi nn sono stati presiin pratica devono analizzare l'ordine.( chi sa meglio l'inglese mi smentisca pure..)

ora risulta rejected..

In teoria nn dovrei avere problemi con i soldi..

cmq è veramente brutto trovarsi con dei problemi sugli acquisti on line soprattutto se nn parlano italianoe per avere dei chiarimenti ci vogliono giorni e nn si ha un riferimento..

a sto punto prima di riordinare da loro cipenso un pò..

[Colasante 5]

Nel testo che hai preso da codejunkies c'é scritto che in caso di ordine "rejected" ti arriva una mail in cui ti spiegano il motivo del rifiuto...cosa dice a riguardo?
Io penso che puoi tranquillamente fare altri ordini da loro senza problemi, forse questo problema è capitato solo e semplicemente perché hai ordinato un articolo non disponibile...
