I have received the Firmware upgrade from Nelley and upgraded my player, but I`m not sure if it has worked.
I thought it had until I viewed a CDR with MP3s, and found that the names are still truncated.
What I did was :- - burnt the `TDVD-0000.ROM` file onto a CDR (left it as multi-session), - put the disc in following the instructions - saw some strange characters at the top of the screen which then moved a bit, - the disc was then ejected. - removed cdr - Powered off (while tray open) - powered on
I thought it had worked because I can see Main Ver as 180 when I check the version
Also the old region code hack no longer works, but the new appears to, although I couldn`t confirm it had changed anything.
The macrovision hack also appears to work as I see ADV7171 00000001 after applying.
Should I reload the disc ?
One other question, I see there are some new menu options when you go into the scecret menu to confirm the region code, using :- open - setup - shuffle - step - next
Does anyone know what these do ? I can only see Country Code of GB here and cannot see the region anywhere ?
Any thoughts ?

It`s worked.
Region is called "Debug" now, and the MP3 player allows you to fast-forward a track, (though you can`t hear it while you do, and it`s in big chunks)
I found it completely cured the pulsing brightness problems I was getting, and all dvd discs play beautifully now.
Still can`t play CDs reliably though

PeteTh, the long filename improvement for MP3`s is for a later release, if I read what nelley said correctly.
Did you call your file TDVD-0000.ROM ? I did this and wrote it to a CD R/W and it rejected it. I then noticed in the instructions that it refers to TDVD-000.ROM (only 3 zero`s) so I wasn`t sure if it was the burning or the filename it didn`t like.
My CD writer is at work so I was going to rename it and try again tonight.
