C3100 Windows Software Translated
« on: September 24, 2005, 09:25:40 am »
I figured out how to make the installer and the rest of the Sharp Windows applications that come on the CD with the 3100 to display actual japanese instead of the weird unreadable characters on English Windows machines. The trick is to set your default locale to Japanese (and reboot windows) before you install the Sharp software. Now that I can actually read the Japanese menus I was able to use the apps and I hacked some of them so that they show English menus
SL-C3000 - pdaXii13 build5.4.9 (based on pdaXrom beta3) / SL-C3100 - Sharp ROM 1.02 JP (heavily customised)
Netgear MA701 CF, SanDisk ConnectPlus CF, Socket Bluetooth CF, 4GB Kingston CF,  4GB pqi SD, 4GB ChoiceOnly SD, 2GB SanDisk SD USB Plus, 1GB SanDisk USB Plus, 1GB Transcend SD, 2GB SanDisk MicroSD with SD adaptor, Piel Frama Leather Case, GoldX 5-in-1 USB cable, USB hub, USB mouse, USB keyboard, USB ethernet, USB HDD, many other USB accessories...
