matchkamph, There are hundreds of small manufacturers of these players. They source the parts from whatever supplier offers the cheapest price at the time. The firmware is then cooked to suit the player. Components and firmware can change from batch to batch so even if you bought two identical players from different batches they may well both use different firmware.
Because of this there are literally 100's if not 1000's of variations for each firmware version and no real way of telling which firmware will suit your players components and which will not.
Loading the wrong firmware will quite easily kill your player, the Dead Player forum is full of bad firmware upgrade stories.
Changing the firmware is like a game of Russian Roulette and your chances of success are not good.
