Tony is a Mac guy, so I’m hoping there will be Mac-compatible version of any update software. That could be a deal-killer for me.
I just hope they have a stable, safe way to deliver firmware updates without risk of bricking it, lol.
Especially with a brand new chip, I would expect there will be some bugs that need to be addressed pretty early on. Nothing is flawless. I'm ok with that if they release updates for it in a reasonable timeframe and there is a stable tool to apply the updates.
I only load firmware updates if I have to. If there are bugs that don't affect me or features I don't use, I leave the updates alone. If there are reports of folks bricking the mods trying to update, then it's a definite no to updating for me. I'll let other folks be the lab rats as far as testing the firmware updates and software if the mod is usable as is.
It's one thing to develop and make firmware updates available. It's a completely different matter to provide users a safe manner in which to load them.
I'm getting more and more excited about it now. Actually looking forward to trying the Vandy chip. Don't even care that it's not the Gene chip any more.
