Hi all, yes I know, this group has been dormant for quite a while - however when digging through my older Mindstorms items last weekend, I also found two cybermaster units and became curious if they were still operational. The software is of course (...) (13 years ago, 10-Mar-11, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

(...) There exist programs (not sure where) that can convert a video file into a series of still images. From there, it could be converted into a set of building instructions. (14 years ago, 17-Jul-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

The trick is that they NOT in the directory which is installed on your hard drive when you install the software, they remain on the CD so you have to look inside the ISO file.

(...) XP doesn't like the Cybermaster CD because o a compatibility issue with QuickTime. You can still get access to the building instructions though. Just make sure you change folder properties so it'll show hidden files and folders. Jetro (14 years ago, 13-Jul-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

As well as using Windows95 Compatibility Mode, you also have to ensure you're running QuickTime 6.4 or lower (or you get startup error 8065006D).
