    Back at it... Tonight I tried (using same old firmware) a new 8GB SD card formatted as FAT32. It gives Error ID 82, same as the 32GB...

    Here's the latest: The posted source code and the hex file for the RLV12 emulator do not match. The source code won't build, as it...

    I have found RL02 images to try. Whether they're working or not is still to be determined :) I'm pretty sure I tried a FAT32...
