Quoted from Rondogg:

Has there been some kind of announcement that new code for Hobbit is being released or even shown? I'm confused.

+1 for confused.

Hi, I could really use some help, perhaps someone’s run across this issue trying to upgrade to 3.0. Unplugged the USB cable and plugged directly into motherboard. Screenshots attached are what I’m getting when I try to use a 8gb USB drive. When I try to use a 16gb USB, I get the error message “no operating system detected”. I swear I’ve followed the JJP instructions to the letter. Anyone have any tips? My USB sticks are pretty old, but they work so I’m not sure what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Michael.

Quoted from Ranhorton:

Was able to do the new 3.0 download via my Mac Mini (running most recent iOS) and a new 16GB Sandisk Cruiser Glide flash drive from Walmart. Was also able to do the upload to my THLE via the USB cable and not plug it directly into the open USB port on the main computer.
Took a few tries to get unerbootin to play nicely and load on my Mac Mini.
Had one pop-up after it all the files loaded where I had 3 options. Click “No” “Yes To All” and something else I can’t remember. I clicked “Yes To All” which apparently was the right choice because it all worked out.
If there is anyone close to me (norther NJ) having issues, you’re welcome to come borrow my loaded flash drive.
-Ran

I had v3.0 success with the Sandisc cruser 16gb flash drive as well, also had to unplug the usb dongle inside the game and plug directly into the motherboard.

So I came up with my own mod for the pop bumpers / barrels. I just took the ones for sale from from JJP and glued it to the top of the pop bumper plastic, and raised the video screen just a hair, everything fits and pops just fine. I know many of you like the mod with legs sticking out...to each his own!

Quoted from fnosm:

Are these all the same character?
It looks great!

Yes, same one. They’re all pointing a slightly different direction, so it doesn’t look like it’s 3 Thorins when you’re looking at it.
