Setup Problems with ST19 with AUX and DISH

[cover]

OK I'm baffled... First of all I should say that this setup with st19 has never been tested before so I don't know if it works as it exists now. The maxmel was working OK three years ago with cemu and ROM10 (without AUX of course). I've been away from emulation for all that time and have forgot a lot with FTA during that time.

So this is my first attempt to use ROM102 and my first attempt to use st19 although I used PGM's SLE44 for H card. I got st19 all set up and running with the barker channels on DISH while the latest outage was occurring with st19 and DISH this month (February 2008).

My DOS st19 command line has the /a switch and when st19 starts up it looks for the AUX and says it found it - if I pull AUX out and then boot up, st19 displays no AUX and halts.

My atmel in the maxmel is flashed to the two chip 10C flash - the IRD reports it as ROM102 rev10C. My AUX is ROM102 cleaned to rev 103 and has PerkysAUX123 for ROM102 applied.

My .cor is the ROM102 cleaned to rev 103 and with tiers applied and married to the IRD with secondary keys using GenDT08SK. (Thanks to empulse for the help with this)

I had assumed that once st19 was fixed, I would be able to get all channels. I replaced the st19xl.exe on my boot floppy with st19 v2.6.24 and I still don't get anything except the barker channels. I've let it sit on a subbed channel for 2 hours and it doesn't get audio/video on anything except the barker channels. I know the IRD believes I have subbed channels based on the guide I get when I set the Favorites Menu to Subbed Channels.

The one thing I noticed is that when st19 starts up it displays: Warning : can not open swapfile c://cwsdpmi.swp and I would have expected that as I have no HDD in my emulation PC.

I'm suspecting my .cor file may have problems but it could be anywhere...

Any suggestions on where to start other than to start all over???

It could take a long time for your cor to update from rev103. Why not try one of the working, public number .cor files floating about with your private info added to that. You might also want to try a bootdisk that uses a ramdrive, as that is a memory swapfile for cwsdpmi. Also, you are using the dos compile of st19 with the cwsdpmi.exe?

One more thing, there are a couple of cemu flashes for the max/mel that don't pass the packets properly to st19, and then the keys don't roll. Use one that is named for st19, just in case.

The flash I'm using is called 10bar.hex You can find it in the files section.

I didnt see where you patched the 10c codespace to your cor file. If you didnt patch it to 10c it will take a while to update to Rev10c.
