Cheers! Took me ages, but I like it. Its also in a nice reusable view/viewmodel so I can use it everywhere in the application. I quite enjoy doing UI stuff, was never something I've done before and was scared off, but the challenge has been rewarding. Makes you respect how much work goes into some of the simplest features in software.

However,, If you wanted "GOD" mode security, you cant have it... but you can have "Jesus" mode!
If you want to know something else funny I opened ptdiag up in ida pro and found that theres a secret word game hidden somewhere in it. I found all the passwords to access the special engineering modes (like disabling PATS etc), but I couldn't figure out how to launch the game. Well I assumed it was a word game, no idea why they would have hundreds of 4 letter words stored in a table otherwise!

Passwords are "42CATS" and "playtaps". Super easy to find, just searched for calls to strncmp. Must be a super old application written in C

a few hundred of these...

Hi Everyone, thought an update was due as it has been a while and I have some good news. I decided to take an extended break from my work, 12 months minimum is what I've organised and if everything takes off I won't be coming back! We have registered PCMTec as a company and are getting everything in line legally as we speak so we are now 100% invested in the idea!

Plan to be working on this full time early July, hopefully have a beta release a few months after that. So apologies for how slow it has been lately, I have had a busy month finishing off work projects, spent a few weekends straight working to polish everything off so I can leave sooner.

Anyway thanks for hanging in there, exciting things in the pipeline and I hope you can all come along for the adventure! Also thanks to our alpha testers as well for the feedback we have gotten so far.

Fun times.

I've been watching this thread with great interest but haven't commented due to not being able to offer any real assistance. It's now time to say excellent work, you've put in some very hard yards and come up with the goods. I hope your future plans with the business work for you and you are able to build a very loyal user base.
