Hi dumbguy,how do I run config.bat file? Thanks in advance

config.bat should be found in the same folder as your loader program. just click on it with your mouse then run the loader with the skybox turned off until the program says it is trying to synchronize, at that point power up the skybox.

I Have tried everything trust me

but this is what sorted it out for me as i didnt have the config.bat with some of the stuff i downloaded started looking for it found it used what was said above and viola all working now

thanks a lot mate

I have tried to do this using the eromclient.abs and all I get is wrong file error message. if I download latest firmware from skybox.cc it flashes but then when finished the box boot just loops ie L001-L100 and around again constantly. this is further than it was tho ( just stuck on load before) any ideas?? thanks in advance
