Mika73 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I got Ultimate years ago. How can I update firmware? Is there change log somewhere? What’s latest version? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The latest "stable" and "beta" firmware is attached. Instruction for the upgrade are in text files within the zip files.

Mika73 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 It was very quick update. At least that Bios bypass makes use lot faster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Be careful of using the BIOS bypass. It will cause some SGM games to fail to detect the SGM. Games that specifically check for the BIOS ram bankswitch will fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telengard Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thank you. Is there change log somewhere? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I did find this on the atarimax forums regarding the beta firmware "This includes fixes for a few hardware and firmware bugs that may not impact many people. It also includes support for 64kB "Activision" cartridges less eeprom support." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you tried contacting Steve via the AtariMax forums and emailing him. I have also just sent him an email asking for the new firmware. If I have any success I'll let you know.

+evg2000 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It took about 2 weeks for me to get updated firmware from him. You need to tell him your version information, this can change the steps to follow. Just using what someone else got may not work for yo.Sent him an email with: Hi Steve, I would like to get the latest updates. I'm currently running: HDW: 20160607 Boot: 20150207 Menu: 20141102 Firm: 20160609 Here is a screen shot of the latest versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I emailed Steve over two weeks ago and no response. If anyone has the latest firmware it would be hugely appreciated if you can upload it to this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this one interfere with some SGM games? If this update is over three years old, I might as well not worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The core firmware and hardware files are dated July 2019 and the core boot file is dated June 2019: If everything is working fine though, leaving well enough alone may be the best move.

digress Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) worked for me. I ran the firmware reset. Then added the cvdos.sto file over writing the old and removed the recovery folder. Everything works fine. Thanks for the file. Edited October 28, 2019 by digress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve isn’t very active on the Atarimax forums, so I really appreciate you making this available. I was on firmware version 20160609 so I was eager to update. The 20190610 firmware has made a difference! The Atarimax reset button works consistently now and sends me back to the main menu every time. This had always been a flustering operation prior. Thank you @classics wherever you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprazzi Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank you, I've just updated my cart. Indeed the reset button is now perfectly usable, and this makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Well, I've gone all these years since I got this and never updated. I used the 2014 release first, it worked. Then I upgraded with the Beta, went fine, followed by the 2019 2nd Beta, also went fine. https://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=974 This is the thread over on Atari Max for the firmware.
