If you are updating from V18 or V19 beta
You will see a prompt after upgrade that requests you format internal memory by pressing yellow+orange buttons. This is normal, proceed with the instructional prompts. Fully power off your system and then restart it if you see the prompt more than once or have trouble booting into V19.
During Update-Process, I was asked for the memory format then I was shutting down the power. After restart, there comes now always the same Syslog screen where I should format and then power on/off. What should I do now?
Try powering off several times at that point. Meaning hold the buttons as instructed and power off one time. Then, when it asks you to hold the buttons and do it again, DON’T hold the buttons and simply reboot.
Really nice work on the menu. The way MP works is easier to understand now and the new features broaden its capabilities quite a bit. It will take a while to explore all this!
The menu refresh rate - can that be improved or is it already as fast as it will ever be?
I will be able to improve the menu refresh substantially on V20. It got de-prioritized for V19 due to time limits. Now is the time to put in your suggestions, thoughts, and feature requests!!
I’d like to see more options with tiling, namely the ability to set them up in triangular, pentagonal or hexagonal patterns. Also capability to warp tiled patterns into 3d-ish perspective with a horizon line. Then, using all the existing capabilities with mirroring, one could make rooms and tunnels with visually active walls, for example. Additionally, like the tiles, I think mirroring could go into new territories beyond quadrants. Dreaming big here but if you could then fold the patterns into 3d shapes, that would be insanely cool.
This video shows how simple in theory patterns can be distorted into realistic perspective just by moving a few points where lines intersect.
so I am having some problems uploading this new firmware. I currently have v.18 and want to upgrade to the new one.
my screen is now stuck on this SYSLOG page where it keeps telling me to press the Yellow + orange buttons and then power it back on. After I do that it keeps loading the same page.
The screen says:
UI Init OK
SD Card OK
ERROR: Could Not access internal memory Press yellow + Orange buttons to reformat.
Do I have to hold the 2 buttons down the whole time when it tells me and turn it off?
Or do I just simply press the 2 buttons, let go and then reboot?
Ive done the same prompt may 90 times and it keeps taking me to the same screen.
Im sure all these power ups and downs isn’t good for the modules?

I ran into this too after having to pull SD card and loading files directly from PC. In hindsight, I should have just tried booting from SD without pulling. Seemed like the SD cage thing was glued down and ended up popping off while trying to flip it up. Or I’m just a doofus
I tried following prompt a couple times to end up stuck in SYSLOG screen loop. As mentioned above, try power cycling without doing format. Worked on mine at least. Hope this helps!
Any chance to decrease the fan speed on the module in V20??? I noticed it’s extremely loud in a studio setting. Maybe it’s possible to mod the fan or install a larger one?
You tried removing the micro sd card, formatting and copied the files over? Next step would be with the power off Hold down the “BOOT FROM SD” button located on the rear and power on.
Im liking the updated UI for v19 and extra features look promising but will most likely roll back to v18. Tile mode glitches out and I use quite frequently. Was really hoping there would be a way to get rid of or adjust the size of border that Tile mode puts around Vidiot image. Which is strange because there is no border when tiling internal images. Entirely possible I’m just oblivious to a way to do this already
