Quoted from oga83:The 1.30 firmware is bigger than 4Gb. The game can only read FAT32 usb sticks and such a big file can't be used.
That's the reason why it is splitted in 2 files by Stern (.000 and .001).
When Pinball Browser opens these files, it extracts the .spk file in which your changes will be saved (songs, images, ...).
However, you can't use this .spk file to upgrade your game (because it's bigger than 4Gb) : You have to convert it back to .000 and .001 files.
To do this, use the "Pack firmware for USB stick" (click on the arrow on the right of the Open button). This can't be done automatically because it takes time.
Copy the .000 and .001 file on your USB stick and upgrade the game with them.In brief :
- Open the .000 file with Pinball Browser
- Work on the .spk file
- Once you're done, use the "Pack firmware for USB stick"
- Upgrade your game with the new .000 and .001 files.As explained in the FAQ, instead of using the .000/.001/.spk files, it is better to work on a game SD card image.
So I'm trying to change music on Aerosmith pro, and even after following these steps, the game is not accepting the new code. When I turn on the game after loading the usb stick with the modified 000 and 001 files, the game just boots normally. It does not go in to the install new software prompt. I have tried loading the modified spk file (over 4gb) on a SD card, but when this is installed in the game, nothing happens (game does not boot at all). Can I use a USB to RS232 Adapter to modify the software directly on machine?
