Sorry forget to add.. Do you remember if you were able to mount the Cramfs and look at its filesystem..? What's Q;Q; blocks in flash, another files system…? Can’t find any info on it, were you able to mount that too. So does it have 2 partitions on mtd4 then..? At the time no one would of looked into the file system cos that would validate the rules on using the Emailer,It now matters cos there all are dead and If we can get to the config file, then maybe get other E3s working again, Amstrad had a 500+ page manual on it cos there could add things to the emaler like different oprtions and that to it,that config file was the heart to the system, Made everything tick.. 😊 without it its a dead machine.
Does anyone remember the command line to mount a mtd partition..?
Spanner..

Got to just find out how to mount a mtd partition with the system on it, then that file (delta_e_live.config) will be in there somewhere…😊
I have a vague memory that the E3 used a read-only cramfs or similar filesystem for the actual OS/base application stuff, and then a custom filesystem (based on Q;Q; blocks in flash) for all the ads / games / ringtones / other content. I don't recall anyone spending time on working out how to modify that custom setup.
