I just got a 512 card and now I need to update to v 1.20 on my MR-8. HOW DO I DO IT!??

I can't find the instructions anywhere!

Go to the Fostex site, and then go to downloads. Find the v1.20 and download it to your desktop so you can find it easy.

Plug in your MR-8 via usb and go to usb in the menu.

Open the drive in My Computer and then shrink the page down so you can see the V1.20 icon on your desk top.

Drag it onto the MR-8 drive and close the window.

Hit the stop button on your MR-8 to exit usb mode, then shut it down.

Restart the Mr-8, and it should update itself.

Make sure you are unzipping the file from the Fostex site onto your desktop... It won't recognize the zipped file...

Oh, shit! I can't believe I left that step out!!!!! :o

OK - I forgot about this thread. I'm having the same problem going from 1.10 to 1.20. My last post is here on another thread:

After you drag the file over, you're supposed turn the MR-8 off and turn it back on while you hold the STOP button down - at least I think that's what you're supposed to do. It didn't work for me....
 
yeah i just did it. it worked for me, though. drag and drop the unzipped file, wait, walk away, turn the thing off, turn it back on and hold the stop button. it will ask you if you want to update and you hit the familiar record + yes, wait awhile, turn the thing off, walk away, try recording when blood pressure drops.

okay, after the miracle update the mr8 now reads in bars and clicks instead of minutes and seconds. any idea how to remedy this little ballbreaker?

Ahhhh, memories of torment with that little red whore...

Hey, did someone here have a birthday, like yesterday????
 
Yea, sure. Rub it in.
Can we just forget about that now?

Generally speaking, I HATE BIRTHDAYS, well... at least my own. Never have cared for them, except the 21st.
This year is a slight exception because I ended up with almost $100 "extra" money. I'll have no problem spending that, it's holding onto it long enough to make it count that will be hard...
