Nano_Clone, Your player firmware is like it's operating system, like Windows is to your PC.

You can firn out your firmware version by going to the players settings menu and selecting Firmware Version.

I would strongly recommend that you not try loading any other firmware to your player as the chances of killing your player are very high.

Modding and theming depends on your player type and firmware version. Let us know what version details are shown on the player and I will tell you if theming is an option for your player.

Tadad, could you tell me if this player can be themed:

It's a 1GB MP4 player from China which I believe has a Samsung chip. The firmware version states:

2093
2006/06/25
9.0.50.000
2006/10/30

Thanks
