[Tiptoi] My Tiptoi only seems to work with unmodified .gme files

[Wouter Betting]

Hello Everybody,

I was looking forward to making my own scripts and being able to print oid-codes for use with the Tiptoi pen.
I think I covered the basics before buying my first pen:
1: being able to write code and converting it to a .gme file using tttool
2: being able to print the oid-codes that are readable by the pen
All these steps are working just fine.

But the problem is that after copying the .gme files to my pen, it only reads the original Ravenburgers .gme files, and not the .gme files created by tttool.

I've tried a lot of things to figure out where this problem is coming from. But so far it feels like there is some sort of copyprotection at work which recognizes the difference between the original and a modified .gme file.
I'm running out of ideas and hope that maybe someone can help me out here.


Here is a bit of extra information:
The Tiptoi pen I have is without playback buttons and without recording option. It is brand new, I bought it a week ago. It has 8GB of USB memory and I assume the processor is the 3203L. The hardware looks like a generation 2 (horizontal volume buttons), but it does not have the player buttons on top.

The file 'LanguageInfo2.txt' tells me:

999 GERMAN Update3203L.upd
998 FRENCH Update3203L_fr.upd
997 DUTCH Update3203L_nl.upd
996 ITALIAN Update3203L_it.upd
995 RUSSIA Update3203L_ru.upd
994 ENGLISH Update3203L_en.upd

The file '.tiptoi.log' tells me:
TW153238ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ2D0013    ˇˇˇˇˇˇDUTCH     ˇˇˇˇˇˇ3203L     ˇˇˇˇˇˇ

I've tried copying .gme files to the pen and printing their respective product-id as oid-code, and then:
- assembling the Debug.yaml using tttool, 
  FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio files to the pen..."
- creating my own .yaml file with product-id and only one script to play a sound, 
  FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio files to the pen..."
- downloading pre-assembled 'stepseq.gme' and 'TipMaster-0.9.1.gme', 
  FAIL, audio message: "first download the audio files to the pen..."
- downloading several .gme files from de Ravensburger website, 
  SUCCES, audio message: "welcome to this book..."


I hope that someone can at least point me in a new direction and tell what to try next. If someone needs more information, please let me know.



kind regards,
Wouter
