Topic: Best 24 bit "bit bucket?"

[jerryfreak]

read the thread carefully.

1.make sure youre using the right rom x50 is not an x50v is not an x51v you will brick it with the wrong one

2. copy the files to a freshly formatted fat32 sd card

3. when you try to get into image loader mode, hold the two buttons down and briefly tap the reset with your stylus while continuing to hold the two buttons for a few more seconds

4. give it time to find the nb0 files, it took several minutes on mine

5. test test test at home, dont be like steam powered and wait till you get in the field to find you have a problem. I will NOT take a recorder/build into the field without at least 20 hours of testing for dropped samples. This software and drivers was not designed for WM6, so it is on you to confirm that your setup works. I only run at full processor speed, but have tested at lower speed with mixed results. battery power is cheap, but lost bits are irreplaceable

so all i do is use bootloader and select/load this *.nb0 from a sd card..? do i need anything else..? i have wm5 installed...

thanks.

thanks, jf. i understand all of that - i just wanted to make sure i didnt need another file on the sd card (like some version/rom of wm6, that i might have to purchase somewhere else). it looks like all i need is the one file...

as long as youre already at wm5, you should be good to go with the nbo and crc provided on the site

the crc is a checksum - does it have to be on the sd card, too..?

many thanks for all of your help.

Yes, put it on the card too. I actually haven't done this yet because I've been saving up for a sailboat and making do on the flash cards I already have. I did stay at a Holiday in last night though - and I just googled "axim rom update crc" hehe.

and why is it better than the marantz?
its bigger...I know that.

Better meters, better headphone amp(louder,no distortion), no issues with internal batteries being too big, Hold function does not lock out the margin reset, as it does on the 671. It actually doesn't use a margin reset since the meter displays the peak and then decays at a preset speed. The angled screen is easier to read in the bag. Hdp2 is less picky about cf brand.

PS, +t for bleeding edge testing! Keep us posted how it goes now!!

Ive been using the beta1 for weeks now - it works perfectly for recording.

I'm waiting until the final release before testing, theyre getting close

this is "football's a03" that i am gonna try - it seems to be the latest...

so that's it then..? just put those two files @ the root of a sd card, and then follow the instructions with bootloader..?

i really want to record to those 8+ gig sd cards that you cant use with wm5. if that can work, and can be stable, i will be very stoked...

many thanks for all the help fellas. +t

[jerryfreak]

again, read the thread, do you have an x51v?

footballs roms are x51v, maglites are for the x50v

I still like the "made in japan" aspect of the marantz, which uses higher quality parts inside (according to Doug Oade, who would know).
When he says something to the affect of "well, you can certainly tell which one was made in china, and which was made in Japan"...., there is a lot between the lines.

i thought i had stated that - i am indeed using a x51v. so i think i am all set to do this - put the two files on (the a0s and the crc) at the root of a sd card formatted to fat32, and run the bootloader to install the new rom..?

many thanks (and another round of T's)

Yes - I believe that's it. Do you have a way back? I've not put any work into that - I wonder if we can load the current rom onto a card? Sorry to answer with a question but just been pondering that..
