What will it cost to get proper driver support from philips?

Postby Urban-UK » Wed May 02, 2012 7:10 pm

Id really like to get some proper win 7/8 drivers for my several dusty phillips ambx sets

I'm guessing the only problem stopping it happening is $$$$
surely it wouldnt cost phillips anything to give the abmx guys the source code to the drivers?
probably would need a jungo licence aswell?

how much would it cost for this to happen?

I would really like to get my kits working properly in win 7/8 without silly workarounds
and would be happy to donate to make this happen, maybe others would as well?

The problem isn't money - they just don't want to continue with the amBX system and have stopped supporting their product... I don't see any amount of bribery or coercion changing that.

Release some proper windows 7 and 8 native drivers :)

So we can continue to use our kits in the future

To be honest I have my ambx kits installed ATM on windows 7 64 bit using the wiki and they are working fine, it's only when I install the profile update things start going mad
Also fxgen is a pita

Thanks for your post

i tink that would not be a problem hopefully because in Winstupid u can simulate the Wincompatible !
So with that way i have install my old Win XP x64 and Vista x64 Driver.

just make a right click at the *.exe or *.bat than "propereties"

But better is if we will wait for retail realase from Win 8 xD

and their you can set that u are open that programm as an admin. so no more stupid right click open or start as admin :D :roll: :wink:

"Would you pay to get updated drivers for your phillips ambx kit?"

On Linux OF COURSE!!!

On Windows maybe, if i can pay for a better interface and best new games support i do.

On mobile devices like a controller, the just price, you know, 1$ like almost all apps.

On game consoles, I would pay for it.
