I was wondering what the newest firmware for this would be and where is the wbesite that i cna keep up to date wiht it? I know this is a remake of the elta player but i dont know the manufacture's site to check firmware. Also, does anyone know if this needs a region free hack and where i might find one. also, i was wondering if i can just use any firmware thats meant for the sigma em8500 chip, or if the player makes a difference. thanks
