re: tutorial "How to get maximum available RAM on small devi

There doesn't seem to be any way to post directly a reply in the tutorial thread. The author requested feedback. Hence this thread...

For bmwdriver: I used the downloaded copy of your SD card containing NC8.545, and I'm very pleased to report great success! On another SD card I run NC8.204 quite successfully, but I have to say that your NC8.545 results in some additional 3 MB of free RAM.

Emulation x40 gives more usable menu options on my ONE XL than any of the other emulations you provided in your 'configuration' download.

The 'reskin' method of trying out various emulations is very effective. Where did that method originate?

The v9. series of navcores I've tried, are too 'heavy' for my 32MB RAM ONE XL...


I'm very impressed! Thanks...

Thats true, but not all of these features are useable on all devices.

DSA started this way a few releases ago.

You should try my other NCs (if you like) ;-)

I'm very impressed! Thanks...

You are welcome.

I've just spend an interesting afternoon trying out on my ONE XL (using an SD card) the 4 v9 NCs you've listed elsewhere (9058a, 9061a, 9151a and 9160a). Conclusions, using same voice (Serena TTS) and the x40 reskin):
1. All worked fine, except no RDS-TMC available with 9061a.
2. All left around 2 to 3.5 MB free RAM. Whereas your 8545a NC leaves some 4.5 MB (same setup).
3. It confirms my earlier finding - I prefer the 'driving view' on v8 NCs better than the v9 ones.
Thanks again
