Helping Schaps To Fix Bugs

Guys,

As you are aware Schaps no longer has a working Hermes/TyTN so he is reliant on us giving him some good feedback to help him solve problems. As he has to wade through the thread like everyone else it doesn't help if half the thread is taken up with comments like "cool - downloading now" although those comments showing thanks and appreciation need to come out.

I would like to make the following suggestions to help us all out:

- If you encounter a problem that you think may be a bug it is highly likely that you are not the first to have been hit. Take the time to read/search this thread and all the other Schaps ROM threads first before posting. If you are absolutely sure your issue has not been covered before then please give as much detail as you can. "Help me please" is not sufficient detail to help Schaps to work on the issue.

- Making sure your problem is a bug and not a software issue; I suggest you always load the ROM up first then, for the first 24 hours, familiarise yourself with it and set up any parameters you wish. DO NOT install any software at this point so you can be sure you don't have any software conflicts.

If you are happy with the ROM then install your software from scratch. Installing from eg SPB backups only causes problems unless you are only restoring your PIM data.

Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that the software you are installing is compatible with WM6 (see Schaps wiki below). I have had a lot of issues where I have instaled software that has screwed up my WM6 install on the basis that it did not work properly with WM6. If you have old software then upgrade to the latest versions before installing.

- CAB files and other requests; these can all be found either in the series of Schaps threads or the Di Stefano collection or in the Shamanix threads. They are all out there and it is pointless cluttering up this thread with yet another reqest for a particular cab that is easily found.

- Help Yourself Out; the wiki has most of the information that you are looking for. If you concentrate on the Schaps ROM wiki, in particular, as well as the other ROM threads, most of the issues have been identified, most with solutions. I have attached links to help us all out.

Finally show your appreciation to Schaps by keeping your responses respectful and giving as much information on bugs as you can. Make a donation, even if it is only a dollar.

Now that he does not have a working TyTn there is nothing to keep him slaving away on hermes ROMS while some of us show disrespect for him. We need to keep him onside. There aren't that many ROM cookers left; most have got fed up and moved on.

I hope my suggestions help us all to get the best out of Schaps and this ROM.

Thanks for reading.

WB
