XamleTT, I upgraded my 512 MB player with your firmware...and though it didn't work completely, I can now play mp3's, record, and listen to fm with a blank blue screen.
My original firmware was similar to yours so I know my way around the menus even though I can't see anything...but I'd sure say it is kinda hard to operate the player without looking at the screen.
Anywayz, I just wanted to say thanks for your firmware...cause my player had been completely dead for about 6 months but now I can at least listen to mp3

:P
