To quote, roughly translated: I just uploaded version 1.6. Fixes a bug in the comparison of a record and add other things I hope to help solve the problems of crashes (one of the things I do is move the pointer I need to read, you will surely be in the stack, if is where the problem ASHI)

If you have a crash, it is important to tell if it responds to button off or not which game gives you, etc.. Note that the nature of the problems can be diverse and random, so if you do not give me up to the smallest detail ...

Anyway, I exhaust the possibilities: how good of doing this...

It is not a simple adjustment of the fan speed, if not a payload that does the job regulating the fan speed depending on the temperature of the system, to try to avoid excessive overheating possible. For that reason I open it here and not in Scene, which also could be accommodated.

The thread will have two purposes: first, to expose the development, research...
