MSIRGB Versions Save

Alternative to MSI Mystic Light for controlling motherboard LEDs, without the fixed 7 colour limitation.

v1.1.1

5 years ago

Fixes potential data races when accessing the LED chip. Adds other small stability fixes. Fixes LED chip not being correctly initialized from a cold boot (bug from v1.1.0).

v1.1.0

5 years ago

Includes the fixes from the 3 beta releases:

  • Fixes unacceptable CPU usage (from 0.5%+ to 0%) by implementing call batching. Scripts can now call Lighting.BatchBegin() and Lighting.BatchEnd() to batch updates to the LEDs. This way, calls are stored and only applied when BatchEnd() is called, which allows for optimizing the performance of the code by reducing the number of driver calls. Batching is optional, so this is backwards compatible.
  • Fixes a problem where MSIRGB interpreted data from the chip in the wrong order, giving the impression that it switched between colours in a 'weird' pattern (it doesn't, it switches between them from 1-8 as described in the README and back).
  • Adds the ability to query AIDA64 hardware sensor and system data via script. See the wiki for info on the Aida64 module.
  • Fixes possibility of there being multiple instances of GUI open at the same time.

v1.1.0-beta3

5 years ago

Fixes unacceptable CPU usage (from 0.1-0.2% in previous beta release down to 0%) by implementing call batching. Scripts can now call Lighting.BatchBegin() and Lighting.BatchEnd() to batch updates to the LEDs. This way, calls are stored and only applied when BatchEnd() is called, which allows for optimizing the performance of the code by reducing the number of driver calls. Batching is optional, so this is backwards compatible. Fully implements fix for #13, so both Lighting.SetColour and Lighting.GetColour now work properly.

v1.1.0-beta2

5 years ago

Reduces CPU usage down to 0.1-0.2% from 0.5%+ (tested on a Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.7GHz).

Also fixes the order in which colours are applied on the chip (so there is no weird colour switching pattern anymore, i.e. the order of the colours from 1-8 is the same order in which the colours are displayed).

v1.1.0-beta

5 years ago

Adds the ability to query AIDA64 hardware sensor and system data via script. See the wiki for info on the Aida64 module. Fixes possibility of there being multiple instances of GUI open at the same time.

v1.0.7

5 years ago

Adds support to switch between 8 colours as supported by the chip, instead of 4, which fixes problems related to wrong colours or wrong colour patterns being displayed by the LEDs.

v1.0.6

5 years ago

Fixes #9 (if some other program used inpoutx64 as well, MSIRGB would fail to load its copy of the driver). Also fixes a problem where MSIRGB would not properly keep track of open handles to the driver, hence sometimes stopping/deleting the driver service when it shouldn't and making MSIRGB not start anymore.

v1.0.5

5 years ago

Fixes MSIRGB not initializating the chip properly on Windows startup

v1.0.4

5 years ago

Stops MSIRGB(.exe) from restarting an already running script on startup.

v1.0.3

5 years ago

Fixes change from v1.0.2 (stopping os.sleep from blocking indefinitely) that reintroduced the high CPU usage issue that was fixed in v1.0.1, and adds a 'Stop running script' button for intuitiveness.
