I'm using a new skin, which also contains .ini files that supposedly speed up RR by over 50%...have yet to set it up in the car, though. Gonna try and do it tonight.

im feeling the same way right about now, i tried it on my carputer and im having problems with geting it fullscreen and a problem with iGuidance embeding //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Is your screen set to 800x600?

Some skins are still made in 640x480, you might have to change the settings in your rr.ini to 800x600...

As for embedding iGuidance...what's wrong? How do you have GPS set up in RRConfig?

eww roadrunner. centrafuse for life!

you can see my unsuccessful install of an external vid card. I need it to run my 7" visor screen...

The glove box won't close with the vid card there. I will probably cut up my glove box this summer when I have time.

yeah; i finally figured out how to embed iGuidance into roadrunner. but its makin everything sluggish. i went back to centrafuse. but right now im just using winamp by itself. cause im using an external 120gb drive and majority of the music is not in an format that centrafuse can read //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif maybe i can find a pluggin for it. i believe the format is mp4 and m4a.

I've never really had a problem with lag with RR, even with external apps running...

BTW, picked up the Griffin Powermate, a 40gig portable HDD, and a mini PS2 keyboard. Will post some pics soon.

HEY, I was going to build a PC for my car and never got around to it.

However, I do have a Power Supply for a computer that runs off of 12V //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

If anyone is interested, please e-mail me at garrettfranklin at yahoo .com

I also have a Datalux LCD panel that runs off of 12v power. Not the touch screen version however.

Ohhhhh big man with the 120gig HDD! Watch out now!

Lol, buddy of mine works at Staples and told me they had some Maxtor OneTouch 40gig portable HDD's for a little under $40, so I just sprung for it.

I've gotta find a spot for the PS2 keyboard now...

problem with that would be it doesn't have a shutdown/startup controller for that psu resulting in voltage dumps.
