Halfway through the update, my house lost power - as many of you know, the south of the UK is experiencing one hell of a snowstorm (https://twitter.com/ssencommunity/statu ... 1307075586 is proof my power went out...). Once we got power back, I found out my UltraHDMI was bricked.
I've tried the firmware update *.z64 again with the N64 hooked up to my CRT but that doesn't seem to work, likely because the code to receive the update on the fpga is kaput. I have a capable altera flasher here - but I cannot find the file anywhere online, which I understand is due to safety concerns Marshallh has ....problem is, without a firmware update I can flash to the board, my ultrahdmi is as good as junk and I'm pretty gutted that my £150 install that I only put together a day ago is now useless! I'd rather not have to send the ultrahdmi anywhere as I have the kit here to fix it (quartus prime installed, usb blaster)
I emailed game-tech. No help there at all other than telling me I'm on my own and need to get it serviced. I emailed Marshallh and posted on the retroactive forums, but again, not expecting any kind of prompt response if any
Does anyone have any ideas at all or does anyone have access to the raw firmware file I could flash to my board via JTAG? If not, would it not be feasible to extract that data from the upgrade rom? That's gotta be possible, right?
Feeling gutted right now. sigh. Waited three months for the UltraHDMI to arrive, and it gets ruined through no fault of my own.
