First things first.
The long awaited Go!Explore is finally there.
I was very inquisitive when the first leak came out.
It's a bit a sloppy service from $ony, selling it for this much money.
Let's get to the facts:
-Go!Explore is just an edited IGO 2008 for PDA's
-It works with FBL maps
-Skins etc can be edited easily
-There are some protections build in
-Having your own voice in is possible
-Holux is possible, but not YET.
====================
In the past i told you Nieko and i have worked many many hours on the Go Explore Beta.
Now the final is out, and we've managed to tear it apart and now how it works.
In fact, Holux devices CAN work, as long as some files are edited.
I can't help you out supplying the files, because of the forum rules AND guidelines.
But i can supply a little manual.
AND
because i havn't got an holux...
So somebody have to edit it, themselfs !
================
There are many variations in the final and beta (v0.0.8). The Beta is much more suitable for editing, but also less polished. So it's upto you.
The file structure.
1 BUY Go!Explore, they deserve the money.
2 Rip the iso to your pc with whatever program.
3 Open it up with UMDGEN 4.0
4 Everything in SYSDIR can be dummied, you won't need the update to firmware 3.80
5 in USRDIR it is as follows:
* SYS.txt : nothing spectacular
* Klavika.ttf - a font specific for the program, maybe it can be altered.
* READHELPER.IDX Helps reading the files.
* READHELPER.DAT Filestructure list for the IDX reader.
They must be removed. Otherwise you can't load your own files. Editing of the .DAT doesn't work. The LBA (Logical Boot Adress) is changed then.
IF Readhelper files are removed, loading will go slower, but it's not terrible.
*Theme_X.zip open these and you will find some images to edit. Very easy with photoshop.
* LICENSE a directory with the famous LIC0.LIC. This file isn't hacked yet. It contains the serial numbers for the different maps, and the location of where they are stored in the ISO. This is a VERY crucial file. If the lic0.lic from the beta is supplied, it will only load the london and ireland maps.
*DEVICE.NNG a file which isn't different in beta and or final version of Go!explore. Says that it's a PSP 
======
USRDIR > CONTENT
* BUILDING, a directory fully loaded with .3DC files. Can be swapped with IGO files you'll find around the internet i think.
Also contains .3DL files. Same as .3DC
*DEM directory. Loads the whole World. You can use the Britishisles.DEM from the Beta version of Go!Explore
*LANG, a directory for languages. Languages can be removed if you don't need them. If you try to select them in game, sometimes the game chrashes. OR you won't see them if they aren't present. Both variations occur.
* Map, the famous maps directory. Maps can be switched with IGO maps you will find around the net. Don't know if it works. BUT you can swap .fbl maps from the beta of go explore into the final and backwards. That was the whole purpose of this hack, make the maps work in other Go!Explore versions :thumbup:
*POI, some points of interest. Can be edited with PC program POIEdit.
*Speedcam, contains the SPEEDCAMUPDATES.SPUD.
This file is old. You can swap it with a newer one found on google.
*Texture, please leave this directory alone. It contains the textures for the program. Don't know if they can be swapped or edited. Try it yourself.
*VOICE, famous voice directory. Contains various zip files which can be edited. See google for tutorials onto that.
======
DATA.ZIP, the file which contains a lot of sloppy work from $ony. You see $ony left the HP iPaQ ini files still hidden there.
Contains various files
*FF_Keymap.txt, this is a file that maps the psp buttons to the IGO program. Don't mess around with it
*CTYPE.DAT, not important
*AUDIOPSP, contains some bleeps and other audio things. Can be edited, search google for tutorials.
*CONFIG directory
contains _xxx.XPD files. They serve as indicator for road colors etc etc. Edit at own risk !
*Contains many other files self explanatory. Try opening them with Notepad and edit if you like
*GFX, a directory full of sprites and other images used in Go!Explore. Edit them if you like.
*i18n, unknown.
*UI_PSP, the whole UI. Contains also some scripts. Don't know how they work. See UI_PSP > Common > UI and then 7Setting.ui.
Contains GPSAUTODETECT. But don't know how it works.
=================
So now the burning question, how to make Holux work ?
From the experience that i have, make sure you have a mapthis working with holux at first.
Edit then the following files:
SYS_PC.txt
and make it:
[GPS]
protocol = "NMEA"
port = 1
baud = 4800
Or edit the DEVICE = Holux, and make the Holux.ini yourself in the DATA.ZIP > Config > Devices.
Hope that helps a bit.
NO PM's to me for further assistance !
