RIFF is just an abstract format; common examples of it are WAV and AVI. If the MMCS rips CDs as WAV files then yup... it really sucks donkey balls. Seriously...
I've heard it rips them in WMA (windows media audio) format. It's a standard windows media player format.

It's definitely not WAV format; that's 10x-12x the size of a standard compressed audio file. It's not likely to be AVI either, because that's a video format.

The hardest part (I think) would be to determine what it does when the CD is ripped; if it's adding entries to any kind of internal database or doing other actions besides just creating the audio file on the hard drive.

Great work on this so far!

The container is RIFF, the content is ATRAC..

Found a way to unlock the drive in Windows 7. The Intel Rapid Storage Technology application allows unlocking HDs. Link to my original post.

Also the fastest and easiest way to reload the images from a modified HD is to use the Load HD command. After the MMCS is running hold down NAVI+SET for ~5 seconds. You'll get to a diagnostic screen. After that hit Versions button (upper right). In this screen, hold down MENU for ~5 seconds and another menu appears that allows you to reload the MMCS from the HD including updated images. (No more disconnecting of the battery :) )

i got a question....
i have unlocked the HDD and connected it to the computer.
i have located the splash images i wanted to replace:
opening.bmp
02back_brack_title.gif
i have replaced both on the HDD after editing them.
i have made sure that the file is in "read only"
i have verified that the resolution is exactly as the original as well as the file name and type
but no matter how much i try i do not see them when i reattach the HDD in the car.
i have tried to initialize drive, reboot, remove car battery and reattach.
nothing work and i still see the original images.
funny part is every time i took the HDD out and re-hacked it and re-attached it to the comp cia USB the files that i see there are the edited files i have replaced....

is there any step that i am missing after replacing the files?
how can i make the MMCS read the new files?
thanks.
hi, did you succeed? I have the same issue as you

On the Screen partition:

\ScreenData contains opening.bmp. That is the initial splash screen. use your favorite graphics editing tool to edit this file, then write it back to the drive. Note that the MMCS unit must be power-cycled (with the drive installed already) for this splash screen to load.

\ScreenData\Can\imagefiles contains the Air_Con.gif file that I modified as shown in the first post. Gave her some eyes and stuff. Flavor to taste.

\ScreenData\Opening\imagefiles contains the animated GIF files that appear just after the splash screen. There are four default animated gif included: Opening_autumn.gif, Opening_normal.gif, Opening_spring.gif, Opening_summer.gif, & Opening_winter.gif. Pick which file you want displayed and copy it/rename it to Opening_normal.gif. or create your own and name it Opening_normal.gif in this directory. The second pic above is the winter gif file. The default files are about 1MB - don't know what the size limit is for it to load.

There’s lots and lots of other assorted graphics files generally in an “imagefiles” directory. Be sure to tag the files Read-Only when you’re done editing.

Enjoy!
Hi

Did exactly all the things like you said and the image wont change. Also on page 3 a person made the same things, same result --> no change. Where is the trick :)?
