    Im brand new to this so bear with me.
    I want to flash my box but am clueless on how to do it. My system info says
    API ver:255e_E
    Boot ver:7.0
    22.July.2006

    What i need to know is EXACTLY what firmware n stuff i need and where to get it as its a bit confusin to a novice like me. Also my lap top doesnt hav a 9 pin port at the back so how do i get round this.

    I will be eternally grateful for your help

    first you eed to no if you have a real or genuine box ,18 vents = clone
    25 vents = genuine
    13 vents = 1st generation

    vents are the slits on the top of the box from top to bottom

    left scart = Clone
    Right scart= Genuine

    All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

    You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link.

    You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.
