notice for the p3free upgrade

[patrick]

notice for the p3free upgrade:

when the first batch goods ship out, the bootloader code is not ready yet,so we burn the stable v1.4 code in it, to make it can shipping at first time.

now we work with one new code that come with bootloader, and will teach user how to DIY the p3free to come with USB upgrade function.

in fact it's very simple, just SOLDER ONE SWITCH to p3free, and use any PIC programmer that come with ICSP port to brun the new code to p3free.

maybe is not easy for some new user, but anyway it's one solution still for who want to upgrade their p3free.

OK, are the units already sent to us flashed or not???

Does this mean that we have to buy a programmer, in addition to the base price, and then we also have to solder stuff?

I'm starting to think that this is a bit of a ripoff - the end price will be much higher than that of other JB solutions if you consider having to buy all that equipment!

sounds like a complete load of CRAP if you ask me.

Think it's crap? So do I. Here's an alternative for those in the states, maybe internationally too, not sure. He has them in stock, i spoke with the owner today. http://microcontrollershop.com/produ...oducts_id=2233

I dont want to sound ungrateful but I bought one of these going by the info you posted above.
Now there is a chance it wont even make it out of Hong Kong because its pre-flashed.
Even if it does we have to buy additional hardware & do soldering to be able to update.

Those of us who purchased the first batch are NOT getting what we paid for.. what you advertised. You should delay them all & get your bootloader in there first. At the moment as far as I am concerned, as soon as PSGroove is updated this dongle will get thrown in the bin.

This doesnt reflect well on psx-scene either

it's quite obvious that it's "all about the money", on both ends.
