i imagine there are enough interested and willing to do so. that could make us sort of partners so when you solve the problem and get the solution we get a refund when we order?
just an idea, but considering the possibility, why not? or any other idea?
and if it does not work, we dont loose much money after all.
A kind of croudfunding would of course be an option.
But I live in Germany, so I have several concerns when repairing or reprogramming Skreem modules from the USA.
1. the customs, in the worst case you have to pay 2x customs fees 1x to Germany and 1x back to the USA.
2. the time which the shipping takes there and back.
3. the shipping costs, from Germany to USA costs e.g. nearly 40 USD and you have to pay also from USA to Germany.
Then I wonder why they need a key besides the Skreem and the PCM.
Then of course it should be clear to everyone that in the worst case there can be no result.
If nevertheless you are ready to support such a project, I would e.g. set up a PayPal Moneypool and ask also our German forum for participation.
Our forum is unfortunately not big enough that I expect to collect such a sum only there.
But with the support of the users of crossfireforum.org it is much more likely that this will work.
What I promise is:
1. if the required sum does not come together to give all your money back.
2. I will document everything exactly and publish it in this forum.
3. I publish my results of the analysis after the mod here.
So if there are users who want to support such a project please write it in this post, so you can see if there is a general interest.
