Hi,
I am a newbie with extenders. I am firm with the standard JP1 for my URC 8910.
I ran out of memory so I looked into the extender 1 for the 8910.
Since I use two three devices that need a protocol extension I also run out of memory when I try to use the extender.
I looked into the source of that extender and now my question:
Is it possible to change the amount of memory allocated for protocol extensions beyond the now set $400 address? Will a change in that setting have sideefects ( besides consuming macro mem)?
Has someone done it already?

I think it's been a dream of John Fine to have a floating boundary. As far as I know it hasn't been done yet. It's rough since the remote memory control unit plays a role here. So yes, just changing the address here and there will have side effects you don't want.
Where are you running out of memory - the keymoves or the upgrade side? I think the experts will need to know, because there are solutions to all of this.

I need more space in the upgarde area because the protocols $00ED (Nokia Quad) and $016C (Custom Protocol for SAT/1237 Dreambox (KM v8.31)) are needed!
After adding these, my devices and the extender I run out of upgrade memory ...
Do you have any upgrades that use built-in protocols? (i.e. RM/KM only tell you to copy and paste the Device upgrade, and no Protocol upgrade?) If so, perhaps one or more of those can use a built-in setup code supplemented by Keymoves.
Also, do you require EVERY special protocol that is automatically installed with the extender? If not, start a bare IR file (without your device and protocol upgrades), install the extender, delete those special protocols you don't want/need, or can live without (like ToadTog, or Custom Mode Name), and then paste in your upgrades. This might fit what you want/need.
Third, post your current IR file with upgrades in the diagnosis area (and the all-important link to same here), and describe what extender special protocols you want to add, and perhaps someone can take a look and recommend some ways to recover some memory.

I changed the parameters in the source, assembled it, exinstalled it with an EMPTY configuration (all others failed due to extinstall) and moved the stuff from $400 in the HEX file to the new destination $580 and loaded into IR. (Yes, I had to clone and change change the RDF file accordingly.) Then I changed the pause function to what I found here http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewt ... ight=pause and voila it runs!
This means extinstall needs to be modified to make life easy...
I do hope someone can use this information.

P.S. If someone tells me how to upload the files I'll be glad to do it....
