<div style="direction: ltr;">Hi Gaelle,<br>
<br>
Did you see the email from Dominik sent to the list? You didn't reply to that.<br>
In our email exchanges I also asked you to tttool set-language FRENCH, you said there was no effect. Maybe you could try this again after reading Dominik's reply? To make sure it worked, compare extracted yaml's from Book.gme with Custom.gme. Send these to
the list too.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"> </div>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I personally wouldn't try flashing a firmware due to risks of bricking the pen. There must be something we are missing, since the pen is functional.<br>
<br>
Would anybody on the list be kind enough to print the PDF sent by Gaelle and try it with the .gme also on the thread? It worked for my on my German pen.<br>
Does anybody have a French pen? Does it have the same issues?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Gaelle, would you please try again setting the same product id as one of your French books? And also have a custom OID region with a sound. Using tttool or in the SoniqPen studio just change product id. The Power on also should
be set to play a sound.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">So we have: </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">1) original Book power on, Book region</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">2) printed power on, region </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">3) Book gme, custom gme</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Your pen doesn't work with printed & custom gme.<br>
with custom .gme: if you scan the original book power on, will it do anything?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">with book .gme: scan the printed power on, will it start same as the book starts?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">(remember to "empty trash" after you delete .gme from pen)</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Well, they have different firmware files, AFAIR. So maybe they are<br>
more strict in checking stuff. Maybe they enforce a certain structure<br>
or something which the French books fulfill but not the (older) German<br>
ones.<br>
<br>
You could try to flash a German firmware and see if that changes the situation.<br>
