Hi Guys,

Sorry, been a bit slow with this but just done the patch and it boots fine to all 4 flash roms.

BTW, was I supposed to leave the TOS1.02 roms fitted to the motherboard?

:bravo:

If you have the older firmware and the wire link on the board, then you have to take out the MB ROM's else they will conflict with the flash ROM's.

With the latest firmware and mod icky mentioned the other day, the MB ROM's can be left in the MB now.

Just noticed something. This STFM has a glitter installed but now when I select it the menus turn black. disabling them again puts it back to normal.

Was going to GB it

Yep.. Its not actually crashing or anything.. its because the blitter can't access ROM.. so it reads back "11111111" all the time, hence you get blank/black squares all over the place...

That's fair enough, similar problem to the Paks then.

Didnt boot with V4, had to reload the previous.

I'm just amused at the fact that the 010 works fine
