Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems New software available for download!

Check out: new config program, new firmware for G68J, and possibly some other things I haven't looked at for now.

New config supports 800-series (800 and 861!).
New firmware for 861 v. 4.2

/Geir

Have downloaded new firmware and still getting 'Bad eeprom contents' message a la 4.18b. Have re-typed , fetched and stored and still the same.
Using 'Fetch' and 'Store' on Mconfig for the first time seemed to go very well at first glance. That is until I actually looked at copy saved on my pc only to discover that I no longer have 5000L/C/R , 33 rears and a D2500 sub.Somewhere between Fetch and store I must have nipped around to the shops and got 5 x 5500 and a D1500 sub without remembering !!!!!

Any ideas ? Is this the first bug ?

You could try:
1.Hard powercycle 861
2.Store firmware v 4.1
3.store your old pre 4.18b config
and then if the error message is gone
do it all over using firmware 4.2 and Mconfig.
You probably should not fetch Config data from 861, but create a all new Mconfig based on you r old config data

Geir,
Thanks for that.I seem to recall having to do something similar with version 4.1 originally. I did try to start a new config earlier but I had a few disagreements with the program over connections
I will persevere this time .

Hi,
By loading the new firmware onto my G68J and also with the new config program will it mean that the old settings i have on my laptop will be no good or should i say will i have to reconfigure my whole system from scratch?

Cheers
John

John,
Short answer : NO

This problem should only happen on 861's.

You can store new firmware on G68 and continue to use your existing setup.

To make life easier, webmaster might consider putting a date after the shiny NEW icon so we know when the NEW software was added

Best,

Hi Recruit

I found I was able to preserve all my setting on my g68 in the new Config program. You must 'fetch' your settings, from the 68, however, since loading saved files from the old program loses tuner and room correction data (at least it did when I tried it)

Hi Cliff,
I have loaded up the new firmware and before doing it i fetched my settings so hopefully all is fine i have just got to re do my Room Correction now..
Cheers
John

Hi John

On closer inspection the 'fetch' from my g68 uploaded the room corection profile names but not the filter data. I don't know if there is a way of getting old RC data into new config program?

Cliff

The filter measurement data is stored always on the pc.

The G68 only has DSP profiles sent to it. I asked Tech support this a while ago.
