ok. it's been a long time since I've been on EP. I'm glad to see that it's still alive and well and that the most reliable people from back in the day are still here.

the reason i mention i haven't been here in a while is because i don't know if this post will be against the TOS, but i have to try.

hex editing in order to lower firmware version requirements of software used to be very easy. for example, let's just say that i would do it if i wanted to try a new demo without upgrading to the latest Sony FW ;-)

however, it's not as simple as it used to be. if someone out there knows how to do this and you don't want to expose yourself by posting publically, please PM me. however, if you want to reply to this thread please do that instead. I've tried looking for the version number in the item I'm editing and it's not there (at least not in an obvious way).

and if this post breaks the TOS, please don't ban me. a simple "that's against the EP rules" will do, and i will never ask again.

thanks!
