0 sdfzz_ Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 There are a few downloadable ones...http://www.sony.jp/support/p-audio/content...oad/nw_scr.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chriswyatt Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Cool, when were these released? Edited June 24, 2006 by chriswyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chriswyatt Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Simplified Instructions:1. Download NWWM-SCR.exe2. Extract to the root of the C: drive (or wherever)3. A folder called NWWM-SCR is now created4. Move or copy this folder to the root of your NWA Series Player ensuring that you have the latest firmware (2.01) required to run the files5. If all is successful you should have 4 new screensavers on your player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NiSmO Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 and how do you change the screensavers? and is there a clock on the nwa3000? i do have firmware 2.0.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 D&BBOY Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Where do I find the root, Í've downloaded but I can't be sure where to put it please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nononono Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I've tried putting it both in the very root of the unit (L:\ in this case). And in the "OMGAUDIO"-folder. No new screensavers detected.Edit: D'oh, one should always read the entire instructions Thought you were supposed to put the actual files in the root, you should put the entire folder "NWWM-SCR" in the root of the unit. It works fine now. Edited June 24, 2006 by Nononono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chriswyatt Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Oh, maybe my instructions weren't very good then . Make sure that Sonicstage isn't running when you do this, just to be safe.Lets say the E drive is your NWA player, type 'E:' in the Extract To dialogue box (omitting the quotations of course) . After extraction you should have 2 folders on your player, OMGAUDIO and NWWM-SCR, NWWM-SCR should contain 4 screensaver files.To change to one of these screensavers you go to Settings, then Screensaver, then Available and you should be able to select them from there.

0 albero23 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 how about creating them?it's simply a gif file converted to nwm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Nope, I extracted and renamed, not a valid gif file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nononono Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I found a guide on how to make nwm-files, but the player won't recognize the files :/ Not the easiest program to work with either since I don't read japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 albero23 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 can you please post this guide or its link? thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andreasvb Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Tutorial: http://www.atraclife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=159I tried it too, too bad the hel2nwm force it to 120x36.NW-A series uses 128x128 I think.I also found this page: http://www.checkbit.co.uk/nwm/It let you import PNG files and then it converts to nwm, but it only works with 120x36, gah =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chriswyatt Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) I opened the files in MS-DOS Editor and it just looks like a bitmap, not a standard BMP file though. I thought it might have been like the old animated IE logo which was just a bitmap, but each frame was layed out vertically in a strip.

0 chriswyatt Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I think the NW-A series uses 2-bit colour (i.e. 4 colours) , the NW-m series uses 1-bit colour (on or off) . That's something to take into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hmm, care to elaborate? as well how many frames maximum can the screensavers be? as well the ones that come stock with the device, any idea how to extract those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chriswyatt Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I don't have a clue, just trying to help anyone out there who might. I had a look at the file in hexplorer, used this pixel viewer tool and set column width to 128, I could just make out bunny rabbits which is a good sign. Sadly, I can't view at 2 bits per pixel . I reckon the little thumbnail (for the menus) is stored just before the frames, I can sort of make out something there but I'm not sure how many pixels make up those thumbnails, looks like they could be 32 pixels wide.
