I've never done it but I see that OPCOM does have some option for steering angle sensor calibration

@@eepykami OK mate thanks for the reply

<3

I could live without it, but its nice to see if there's anything behind you that you can't see in the mirrors. There's probably a reason all cars since 2018 are required to have them in the us :) Also every now and then my car gains a new scratch or scrape that I didn't do, so I have a feeling a lot of people here also park like that ;)

@@eepykami oh wow, I didn't know it was required over there. I remember my driving instructor taught me you need to actually turn and look behind, even mirrors aren't good enough. Since I'm young and have no problems turning back I think I'll stay without as I can probably see more this way. Of course it also depends on the car, the Corsa is quite small. Thanks for the reply BTW.

@@Txb4g yeah i think all new models require it now. i dont think that's a requirement in europe though, at least not yet. my instructor taught me that too, honestly i can't really imagine not looking behind you when reversing and stuff :)

I just wired my reverse camera into the reverse light Wire at the back of the light cluster 👍

Honestly this was so long ago that I don't remember what any voltages were, nor do I have that car anymore to check :) That voltage difference makes sense to me, though. The alternator will charge the battery when your car is running so it should be higher when on than when off. I would assume this relay would fix your issue though. That way, you aren't drawing extra power from the reverse bulb circuit that the car isn't expecting, as the relay makes a connection between a 12v power circuit and the camera when you put the car in reverse instead.

@@eepykami thank you. I ended up running power from the head unit (camera is always on) but still have the issue 😭

@@BenRitchie thats not ideal, as there's a voltage regulator inside the part that splits one wire into two. that can get hot if its on for a long time as it's not really made to do that. might not be an issue for you but i've heard that before. maybe you can try wiring like this? ua-cam.com/video/o2ZP0S2G5aw/v-deo.html

@@eepykami ah that’s the video I followed! They splice into the power of the head unit which is always on too

@@BenRitchie they are splicing into a wire that should only have 12v when the car is in reverse. either pink or brown in the big wiring loom mess these things have. comes from the canbus decoder, and tells the radio to go into reverse, you can tap into that signal to power the camera at the same time

well, it's part of my job :)

i believe that a modchip will make your console always see any disc that isn't a music disc as a ps1 game. the BIOS will load data from this disc into RAM, looking for what it needs to start executing code, but never finds it and eventually starts overwrtiting other parts of memory.

this is a homebrew game someone made, but the bin/cue was generated without a license. that alone shouldn't cause this kind of issue, but its still interesting :)

@@eepykami Maybe your have burned your CD with bad parameters

the burn was fine, as the game works when booting with unirom, a bios replacement of sorts. its an error with the config used to generate the cd image i think :) @@PlatOurde

@@eepykami bad license.dat?

in theory, most ps1 consoles don't need the license data to be there, in order for the game to boot. japanese models and the pal psone's check the "Licensed by..." string and/or the 3d logo data, but most other consoles don't care. my console is supposed to be one that doesn't care about that data (spch-1002), although even if in theory it should work, in practice it doesnt and you get that whole thing :)

the site is still there, but i couldn't think of what to do with it so the site is empty for now. maybe one day i'll find something to put there. i didnt think anyone was looking at that to be completely honest :)

i didnt think you'd be here still lol, i got banned from discord a while ago, if ya want to add me back its kamiloze

What harness is it?

@@eepykami i came with 2 harnesses the old iso harness that has the pink trigger wire but cant fit. So fitted the newer quad lock harness buy no idea what wire to use as a trigger

i guess you bought one of those android radios that are made to fit the same as the stock radio, right? they come with two harnesses usually. an ISO one and a quadlock one. the ISO one is for some astra's and older corsa's I believe, so you'll want the quadlock one. i'm not sure exactly what radio you may have, and with these things there isn't exactly a model number to look up, but i imagine there would be a little electronics box somewhere on the harness? i have a radio like that and mine is translucent orange. that's the canbus decoder, and its job is to translate things from the radio to the rest of the car and vice versa. it's what lets your steering wheel controls work. it also decodes things like the reverse signal, parking brake, switched live, etc. the cable you're looking for should come from that canbus decoder. it should be a pink cable. it may be already wired into the end of the harness that goes to the radio, but you probably could tap into it if you need a reverse signal for something else.

@@eepykami thats brilliant mate thank you. very much appreciated

also if you have a little plug with a orange and red wire on the harness, unplug it. there might be a little label with some chinese writing too. i remember i didn't, and it caused issues with the radio not turning on. that plug decides whether the screen dimming signal and switched live comes from the car, or from the canbus decoder. for the corsa you want that to come from the decoder, as there are no signals that come from the car directly. @@brianmurray6675

i guess vag is a bit more strict when it comes to what counts as a "blown bulb" and what doesnt, than other cars. i have another car now with a few things wired to the reverse light and it doesn't cause issues :)

what even is a car

i think its that funny magic on 4 cylinders@@eepykami

yeah eventually it did. i thought at the time it was because i was holding the sensor in my hand and warming it up. but maybe it does calibrate itself with time

Also, I was thinking that a voltage regulator that stabilizes the voltage to 12 volts could be used to keep the camera connected to the reverse light. What do you think? This may be simpler than looking for another power source. I found one on A-m-a-z-0-n for 15 dollars..

In theory that would work, in practice the cameras often have linear voltage regulators that can overheat if left on for too long. It's inside the box where one cable splits into multiple.

That might work but honestly I've never tried it. I would try a small buck-boost converter. Idk if it would draw too much current for the circuit and cause problems with the bulb detection though.

it writes "DOS=SINGLE" to config.sys which is what makes windows 98 think it's meant to be running a dos application and not start properly. and doom.exe was put into autoexec.bat, but apparently win98 doesn't use that so i just removed it

@@eepykami far as i remember for win98 at least autoexec is mainly used to setup 16bit hardware, sound blaster environment variables or set the path and all that but it's mostly useless if you have Plug'N Play hardware. in my case when i ran into that issue i mashed f8 booted into safe command line mode, and saw config.old and autoexec.old and just renamed and used those.

it probably could run a somewhat recent linux distro, but i only have a floppy drive for it and this thing won't boot from usb, so linux may be a challenge. idk if modern linux can still boot via loadlin in ms-dos.

Same

Just don't install an OS et voila

VIRGIN DETECTED

I hope not

@@afan64 definitely not

if someone makes a msdos port then maybe. there's an idea... probably not for me though

There's an idea

lol

windows 98 runs on top of msdos. this was back when server versions of windows were based on the NT kernel, and consumer versions were based on ms-dos. they moved both to windows NT with the release of windows xp
