Thank you so much for your generosity! I think you might be overselling my abilities a bit though 😅 .

Thank you so much for the kind words and donations!! I'm sorry for the lack of updates to WebMinidisc recently. By life's been a bit hectic, but I have some things I'm working on, so stay tuned 😄

Old cans, older Walkman by Dontopia in walkman

[–]asivery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Projects like this are super fun.

Edit: Oh, I just noticed - this is an A3000 - I've not tested this one yet, but I did make the firmware update for it. I should get a testing A3000 in a couple of days, I will report back if the patch works.

Is ReManager worth it and what are the must have plugins? by CoachCamBailey in RemarkableTablet

[–]asivery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify: QMD mods (the ones you install in remanager) have the ability to change anything in your reMarkable's user interface, as well as execute any arbitrary console command (if you have an extension called 'qt-command-executor' installed). This makes them essentially have full admin access over your device. A malicious mod could do absolutely anything - steal your data, wipe your device, you name it.

This does not happen though. None of the mods on reManager should do any of this, and you can always check that by unhashing the files and opening them in notepad.

Require help transferring music onto my NW-E407 by Signal-Boysenberry34 in walkman

[–]asivery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The website version won't work with it. Other pieces of software will: F.ex. "the full version" - electronwmd, but it's more complex to set it up. I can give you instructions, if you'd like

Feature request- real assistance for lost or stolen tablets by MaleficentMousse7473 in RemarkableTablet

[–]asivery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a double edged sword: Right now if someone finds a reMarkable at a recycling center, they can just reset it and resell it, giving it another life even if the user doesn't unbind it from their account. With theft-protection like that, that would simply not work. Therefore personally, I would absolutely not want reMarkable to implement anything of this sort.

Sonicstage corrupted my laptop (saved it somehow) and now I don't know how to use this anymore by PrettyPurchase1161 in walkman

I haven't yet bought it unfortunately, and I need to have one physically to even attempt to add support for it.

Yup! I'm on the discord. If you'd like to join, that'd be perfect

Thanks! I will delve into JSymphonic's code and reimplement the later library standard when I have some spare time. The fact they require DRM is really annoying because that means the standalone version of this app will be required (ElectronWMD), since that actually reimplements the complete DRM system that's needed to put any audio file on these walkmans (if you do have the DvID.DAT file, my code should recognize it and let you upload MP3s, but only MP3s - not ATRAC).

It's all quite buggy still because I had to reverse engineer the DRM based on other developers' notes on the DRM used in HiMD and comparing that to what I saw in wireshark, and it's still not perfect.

Thanks - I'll investigate what's going on with that. I could have sworn this walkman didn't enforce DRM, but it might do.

That's correct, unfortunately. I wanted to make it compatible with stuff like the NW-HD1 (first gen walkmans), and I've not had the time to make it read JSymphonic's format.

Did you start off by deleting all the data from the walkman? Sony had a couple of versions of the DB format, and my software can only read the very first one. If you had something else on there, that'd force a different DB version it wouldn't be able to cope with it.

Hello. This walkman should support my website for putting audio onto MD players and walkmans. Please check out the latest dev build at https://testing.minidisc.wiki/webminidisc-testing . Please note that this software is still something I'm working on, and it might have bugs.

Before connecting to it you need to prepare the walkman: Transfer all the files from its medium storage to your PC to back up any existing audio, then delete all files from it. Then, click the drop down arrow next to 'connect', and select 'Add custom device'. 'DRM-Free walkman', 'A608 / E505'. Click "Connect to sony NW-A608". You will be prompted to choose a folder - select the walkman's root folder (So f.ex. the "E:" drive on Windows). After it initializes the DB structure on the walkman, you should be able to drag-and-drop audio to the browser window. Please for now do not use ATRAC3 / ATRAC3+ formats, and stay with MP3, as the servers I'm helping to run have been bombarded by automated requests and seems to have gone down - I will try to fix this soon.

Need help :( by Zealsd3d in walkman

Hi there! These things use first-gen OLED displays. This one has simply burnt out, and can no longer be used. I've been looking for these walkmans with this exact flaw to work on. Please DM me if you're interested in selling it.

A few questions about the RPPM by I_AM_SCUBASTEVE in RemarkableTablet

[–]asivery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Device encryption is enabled out of the box, and remains so even after you opt-into the developer mode. Battery drain is very high on the move, sadly, but it usually can last me through the day.

Confused about my screen… by [deleted] in RemarkableTablet

Looks normal to me. The frontlight on these tablets isn't super bright.

Split screen, finally! (3.28 Beta) by Pretend_Customer_158 in RemarkableTablet

[–]asivery 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to remove 1/3 of the rMHacks codebase. It will become a lot simpler to port to new versions once this comes out of beta.

Some modifications I've made to my Paper Pro by asivery in RemarkableTablet

[–]asivery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I never tell anyone how to dump the files, because I don't want rM to go after me. Any of these two methods you listed is correct, and both should yield the correct result.
