My new set of lowers flashes "AGD 3.0" on bootup, but there is no entry for it on NiedTech.com for it. A search seems to suggest I picked up a set of lowers formerly belonging on an X-Mag? Can anyone tell me what 3.0 has that is different from say 3.2, like my other E-Mag is? Should I now invest in a programmer and flash to the latest X-Mod?

3.0 was released with a shot buffer(tells the board how soon it can look for another shot in ms.) also had a trigger test mode. This version had many bugs.
3.2 came right out after 3.0 which fixed the major bugs the new feature of 3.0 had. -
Hmmm I hate buggy software... wrote plenty myself :)
So I have been searching for Xmod, and I am a bit confused. Some posts claim the software is free but you have to buy the programmer. Can you just pay a licensing fee or donation and just get it flashed by someone that already has a programmer? I assume to buy the programmer I would just PM Lornecash on here, as I don't see it on eBay?Comment

There's only a few people authorized to do it. Tuna, Lonecash and....hmmm...ya. I think the service is still $50Comment

Sorry Ando, I am now more confused. Are you saying that only those people are authorized to do it commercially, for a fee? But that if I were to purchase the programmer I would be able to do it, only for my personal use?Comment

If you don't own a programmer you need to send it to an "authorized programmer" to do it. That's just the way it is...
If you own a programmer, you're good 2 go and can do it yourself with no fee. Only thing with that is you can't flash someone else's mag without permission from Loancash. Programmers are $100 usually.Last edited by Ando; 02-18-2010, 12:51 PM.Comment

Ok, it is clear now. I will have to put the programmer on my "to buy" list then. It keeps getting longer.Comment

could he just borrow one from somebody and then just send it back when he's done?Comment

Hmmm...Unfortunately no. Without permission, that would be a big negative Ghost Rider
PM Tuna. He'll set you straight.Comment

PM LorneCash he may still have some programmers to sell off. For those new to xmod, he is the author of the code.Comment

I think that is what I am going to do, once I free up some cash. I came across a thread he last posted in June of last year that suggested he still had a good number of them left.
Incidentally, I read up on how Xmod came to be, pretty impressive and cool. I would definitely support that kind of initiative, to support future such initiatives, by acquiring the software legally. The guy deserves his money.Comment
