Version 9.x.x players
 

I'm getting the impression from the posts on the sight that there is no way to repair a 9.x.x dump so there is no way to get a successful firmware to recover a dead player...

Can anyone confirm if that is still the case or point me in the right direction to get help to recover mine?

Having difficulty downloading any files from this site, any hints?

Hi ruinexplorer,

What problems are you having downloading from this site? Let me know and I'll help out as much as possible.

It actually looks like they just finished revamping the site layout and such. The link problems I was having were related. Since I have downloaded a couple firmwares to try and flash it, but I think I've really killed the player now. Now I don't get any response to the power button or plugging it into a pc :(

Oh well, that was the risk I took.
