Backdoor codes
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Otto

Okay, since we found out you could enable the backdoor codes by setting MYWORLD_ENABLE_BACKDOORS=1, here's the backdoor codes that have been posted so far:

Clear-Enter-Clear-4 = Rebuilds the Suggestions List
Clear-Enter-Clear-ThumbsUp = Lets you read the log files on screen. (Hit right to skip from one file to the next)
Clear-Enter-Clear-ThumbsDown = kills MyWorld (the main Tivo Interface)

Any more anyone has figured out? I figure a list would be good for the FAQ.

For the sake of clarity, what does the following actually do:
"kills MyWorld (the main Tivo Interface)"

By killing the main Tivo interface, what is left? Do you just get a blank and useless screen? Do you get a prompt that's useless unless your connected to a PC? Just curious....

The TiVo appears to 'lock up', and it just sits there at whatever screen it's on when you enter the sequence. If you're not connected to a terminal, you will need to pull the plug. If you're connected to the terminal (direct or through PPP) you can run "myworld &" to start the UI back up again.

I just noticed that I had turned off my "Fast Forward Skip-Back" and the day before I was randomly pressing buttons so I went back and I'm fairly sure that it's:

Clear-Enter-Clear 5 - Toggles "Fast Forward Skip-Back"

Posted by: mathwhiz

Just a confirmation that Clear-Enter-Clear-FF reboots and Clear-Enter-Clear 5 does toggle the overshoot correction.

Where was all this stuff found?

These enableIDETurbo, enableBackdoorcodes, etc?

Did I miss a huge thread?

Posted by: Tiger

Apparently you did miss a thread... Like this one perhaps.

Also it's runideturbo=false and MYWORLD_ENABLE_BACKDOORS=1

This may be codes that work in backdoors mode only.
Dings three times after entering the code. Have to do it from the System Information screen. I had backdoors and debug enabled when I did it.
The combo is:
clear-clear-enter-enter-clear-clear-enter-enter-clear-enter

Did not see any messages, or notice any difference.

also tried:
enter-enter-clear-clear-enter-enter-clear-clear-enter (3 dings)
clear-enter-clear-enter (3 dings)
clear-enter-clear-0 (3 dings)
enter-clear-enter-clear-enter (3 dings)

found a bunch more with these type of key presses..to many to list.

All these give you dings.

Any ideas on what they might do?
