The iShow DAC is then to be used for simple beams ONLY. Hopefully i can use both the iShow DAC and the RIYA DAC together. I have a RIYA DAC sendt from drlava, that i want to use with spaghetti. The graphics quality is extremely poor, compared to FB3 from pangolin.

Spaghetti is really good value for money, and works with the iShow DAC, but it does not show the projectors potential.

The controllersoftware for the projector is nearly impossible to understand, and most users give up. The software have some walue, but that is ONLY because it comes with a library of ILDA files. iShow is not a good deal for anyone i think. I have also gone down the road of 'Cheap is probably good enough for me', but the reality bites back. I also have another question, how do I benchmark my scanners? Many thanks in advance, Mark. This brings me to the question, Is there any free to use or trial software compatible with the ishow version 2.3 DAC that I could download and familiarize myself with for the next few months? I fully intend to purchase a good software package a little way into next year plus a decent pair of scanners, Im not tight I just have a budget and responsibilities that unfortunately take priority till Santa has been, im sure you get the picture as quite a few of you have no doubt been there. (either that or im missing something really important). I have also discovered that the scanners in my projector are pants. I have configured everything and had a 3 day play with the ishow software and to be honest it leaves me a bit deflated, not quite what I had in mind. I then remembered that I had recently signed up to a rather friendly and helpful forum, after a bit of searching I eventually came across a link to a working version of the drivers for my DAC, and you guessed it, they worked first time. `Bad Move` The DAC arrived in its nice colourful box complete with ILDA and USB lead plus a driver disk, (or so I thought) drivers? hmmm, cant install wont install, 4 machines with Windows 7 32 bit, 2 IT Technicians and a network administrator later still no joy. Next came the DAC and software, Knowing that at some point in the not to distant future I may have to shell out a kings ransome, (and its also coming up to that festive time of year, This I know as first Coca Cola advert aired on TV last week followed by a plethora of toy adverts, my wallet is hurting already), I plumped for an economy ishow version just to cut my teeth with. This is a bit of an ongoing story, So my laser (1500mW RGB) arrived from China complete with a few hiccups, (green diode not working), after a long drawn out conversation with the supplier they agreed to send me a replacement diode with driver and a partial refund for my inconvenience (result).
