It's really simple and you think nothing could go wrong, well, at least I thought so. The Launchpad recognizes my dosbox.u3p so it appears in the Launchpad window. But when I try to launch it, I get the following message: "An error has occurred while trying tot start the selected program". I have done all I could to understand why it didn't work, but I tried and didn't succeeded. Maybe you you could help me. Thanks in advance. Joost Hey Chris,

I've been feeling under the weather lately. @Jonathon - This gave me a decent scare when I tried it out on my own U3 drive. It actually said the drive wasn't formatted as opposed to the error you received. I removed the folders and the reference in the LPDB to get the U3 system working again then dove in. I eventually got the program loading in the menu, but am not sure which was the winning move. For starters I renamed everything with "DEVphp", "DevPHP", etc to lowercase to simplify the naming. I changed the folder in Applications and the folder in System/Apps both to "devphp". Then, in the devphp.u3p I noticed "Manifest" was misspelled "Mainfest". In the Manifest.u3i I also noticed the icon name didn't match the icons name so I modified it to "appicon1.ico". Also, I changed the appStart and appStop to match by making the "devphp" references lowercase. I also changed "%U3_HOST_EXEC_PATH%" to "%U3_DEVICE_PATH%" in all four instances. In the LPDB file I changed the "devphp" references to lowercase as well. @? - The manifest.u3i could be a newly created document using notepad if you wish to type more. I am lazy and opened another application's folder and simply copied the contents to the folder I was working in. Then I changed what needed to be changed. Sorry my replies are a bit delayed.

The microcontroller wouldn't like high voltage which is why it has a voltage regulator altering the amount it sees. In this case the voltage regulator determines the amount it can handle, because if the voltage regulator is destroyed than the MCU would lose power and the entire thing fails to work properly. If you manage to get a voltage regulator with a higher capacity than another component than that other components maximum voltage becomes the limit. The weakest link pretty much sums it up.

TRIAC maybe. I am new to this stuff sorry if the question seems dumb. What determines how much voltage the ESC can handle??? TRIAC maybe. I am new to this stuff sorry if the question seems dumb.

Perhaps I've made a mistake in the example or haven't explained myself thorough enough. Post what you put into the LPDB, the manifest.u3i, as well as how you have the structure of the u3p file.

When I tried to integrate to application list I get the same response that mark did. It complains that it is broken and if I want to remove it, but the program works when I use the .exe Since I didn't have any fresh source files, I unpacked and copied the u3i and the LPDB entry and edited them according to the specs here. was that a bad idea? I have meticulously gone through all your recommendations, checked for quotes and naming. I have run out of things to look for. any ideas? I can post my files if someone knows what to look for thanks Jonathon this was a grate tutorial, I am trying it with a different program called Dev-PHP, http://devphp.sourceforge.net/ it has a portable version of the program that I have had working on my U3 for some time.
