Firmware update? - Cart Backup no longer working

[engin]

Thanks for your reply Deak Phreak - I still can't figure it out - must be missing something. I looked over the db file (attached) and all the UnitEIDs look good. There is a new flash version out however the "cartage method" - where I unzip the rom on the root and pop in the cart that came with the unit does not seem to work (it just loads the cart and not the patch).
If you have any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
