AUTO RESTORE
Current Version: A1a
This
TAP is intended to provide a means of backing up & restoring your system
settings, so they can be easily restored after a crash, new firmware load, or
Factory Reset.
It can
be used in either of two ways:
(1) Run manually, when settings may
be saved or restored.
or
(2) Run from Auto Start at boot
time, when settings are restored.
The
latter must be preceded by at least one instance of the former to record your
settings.
Download
the TAP from here.
Load the TAP into your preferred directory, and make sure you have a
"ProgramFiles/Settings" directory as this is where your settings will
be stored as "SystemSettings.txt".
When
run manually from any directory (including Auto Start provided you have not
just re-booted) you will be offered the choice of saving the currrent settings, restoring the saved settings (if it
finds a set), and doing nothing. When you have made your choice, it is
implemented and the TAP closes.
When
run from Auto Start at boot-up, it restores the settings without user
intervention, and shuts itself down.
If
running from Auto Start, the load order should not affect operation, but it is
probably sensible to have it last so any manually loaded TAPs come up last too
(if a TAP is closed, its "slot" remains empty until the next to be
loaded takes up its "slot" - the remaining running ones do not
shuffle up).

The "zip file includes a sample
"SystemSettings.txt" file.
Editing
this to required values and loading the the TAP into
Auto Start would allow recovery from a state where the Toppy got into a state
where it was only producing a video type which was incompatible with your TV.
(1)
< 30 seconds from start up is used to decide whether the TAP has been run at
boot up. Verifying files will therefore probably prevent it restoring settings
after a crash. It would also be possible to run it manually withi
this time, in which case it would restore the last settings without offering
the option to record current settings.
(2)
Current Favourites list selection is not saved/restored.
A1 Initial version
A1a More tolerant
of, and less likely to produce, settings files with stray characters.
