Just trying to understand a little on how it works......
The aux card is just to supply info that map calls are looking for.
No program execution is carried out by the aux card. Think of it
as a memory card that the st19 program calls to get specfic data.
As to the ST19 program it is a emulator but is not a complete emulator.
It is designed to carry out commands that are currently in use by Di$h.
But not all commands. Many are not used or will never be
used.
So when charlie starts using a new command, a never used before command,
or changes the way a currently used command is excuted. The software has
to be changed to excute the command properly.
Programming the software for every way a command can be used is
just not a option. They can run into thousands of possibilities.
Plus this is not something that usually is easy to set up. This sort
of change can take charlie weeks or months to set up. This current
trouble is from the new 10c update to the cams. That update took
charlie months to set up. And allows him to change things on the
fly so to speak.
Even with this new ability it can still take two weeks or more to
set up the hit. Add to that the fact that parts of the OS of the card
are still unknown means in a lot of cases nothing can be done until
the hit is actually in progress. On the plus side more is learned
every time charlie does a hit. Which means the ST19 software becomes
more bullit proof every time he reveals a previously unknown operation.
Or uses a known command in a way that nobody knew could be done.
So until he runs out of tricks in his bag and everything that can be
done is known. A fully functional emulator cannot be coded.
