fun features

Some fun features I have seen on euro firmware loaded on openbox s10 research.
Games. The 3 basics like tetris,othello and sodoku.
I sometimes load firmware that the tuner is dead just to play games.
Resume playback on recorded programs.Start watching a recorded program then stop and come back another time to watch,you get a popup asking if you want to resume playback from where you left off.
TS file size,handy for hd recording so you don't end up with 1gig chunks you have to deal with when trying to burn the result to dvd.I have seen choices of 1,2,3,4gig or unlimited .ts file size.
Choice of TS or .MPG for recording,instead of TS or PS
Signal beep function for dish aiming.
REC icon that disappears once recording starts,but you have a tendency to forget you are recording sometimes and try to change channels.Banner at the bottom of the screen that disappears by itself when playback in slow motion or pause.

Would it be possible to make a functional firmware with the games at least?

Getting rid of that REC icon was a nice touch..I know that was a pet peeve of many, though it never really bother me much as I don't record often.
Signal beep function A+

using the M word again,but that pre-factory release v02.3 had games and the tuner works.The firmware was dated april 2011 and the official firmware when shipped was july 2011 I think and had the games stripped out.
Adding things would require the sourcecode,a better approach would be to fix the tuner in firmware that already has features desired.The user database file is 2.6meg,which is almost 3x the openbox size and may in fact store more channels.It has over 90 sats in the sat list.

having more fun with my defective s10 than I did when it was working 100%

that sounds difficult. The only coding I ever did was with Basic on an old radio shack computer and it was difficult. I hope that writing firmware is easier.
