Can you tell me where to get the BLv3 and I'll try it on my ED64 v2 to see if I have the same problem? Might be able to find something out.

Turns out my bootloader was already up to date. To get the OS and firmware I used, type "ED64" into google search and click the first link. Scroll down to the download section. Get # 1.22 from the "OS update" section. Then go to the "firmware update" section. Get the one with the # 1.15 in title. These firmware and OS files are up to date and work for me. No need for the boot loader update on them.

Such a shame. Tried formatting SD card and re-loading the files?

Is there no JTAG Option @ EDV2 like V1?

no, cuz it is flash bios data and not FPGA firmware

Yep,already received Return Shipping Label! Gonna replace it with one that is already on Blv3.Thanks! Stoneagegamer & Krikzz were ALL OVER THIS! Never had such GREAT SUPPORT & FAST Replies.I will always buy ALL retro i can from Stoneagamerr/Krikzz.I LOVE this stuff!
BTW: I also have (or @ least My Daughter's suppose to still have) a "Mr Backup","Z Backup" that set on top of N64 & Used Zip discs to load Games.I updated Bios & stuck a Laptop HD in there. :encouragement: Gotta do my sig & list all i have i guess.
