Flashing e-mag board questions

[om3n]

So I just picked up some e-mag lowers and I am very much interested in flashing the board they came with to x-mod 1.8. I don't have the cable to flash the board but I see that many members on here do. I also have registered at niedtech.com and see that it's free to download x-mod, so I assume it's acceptable to flash my board too.

So my question, is anyone with a cable willing to flash my board for me? I would of course pay shipping both ways, and if someone requires I'll pay some money for it as well.

If so, please let me know

Thanks guys

Contact Ruler_Mark. He does board flashes for a fee.

Or go straight to the source and contact LorneCash, the creator of Xmod

I don't think its free anymore, i'm pretty sure he charges $40.00, but i could be wrong

[om3n]

Awesome thanks so much- I just pm'd him.

So can someone explain to me what "hybrid mode" is? I know it's somewhere between mechanical and electronic, but I just don't understand how it works

[GRimm]

Basically hybrid is having the gun in mech mode while still having the battery pin out. so in short you still are tripping the hall effect sensor but since it is in mech you have the reactivity of mech mode as well. Its hard to describe but it truley is an awsome mode of shooting.

Is everyone supposed to charge $50 dollars? Did the person who wrote the program (lorne) request this and is he the one who gets the money?

Because I did contact ruler_mark and he said it costs $50 for a license for it.

Well then why is it available to download for free on Lorne's website

You can get the software for free from Lornecash, but the programmer and cables needed cost $100.

So Lorne want's people to pay to flash the board? Will he do it himself? And if Ruler_Mark or another member flashed the board for me would they get to keep the money or would Lornecash?

I thought you said for free... my mistake Now I feel like a total fool...

Not sure of the specifics, but RM is the ONLY person authorized by Lornecash to flash boards. I do not think Lornecash does it for people.

I see. So then why are all these programming cables for sale and abundant around AO?... Do people buy them and illegally flash their boards? It doesn't seem to be a wise investment if it costs $50 to flash the board legally

Well, once you buy the board and stuff from Lornecashe you get the rights to flash your gun.

[TwilightG]

There's a thread somewhere around here explaining it all and I'm too lazy to look for it

Basically put, it's like buying software.
If you install software on your computer but then sell off or give the software away, you technically should uninstall it since you no longer own it.

However, Ruler_Mark has been given permission to flash boards for a fee where some amount of the proceeds go to LorneCash. I think LC will also flash boards for a fee but given that he still has quite a few programmers left, he'd rather sell them off.

There's a few other specifics too that I know I'm missing but that's the general jist of it.

Alright, well I guess that's my only option then.

Thanks for the help BigEvil, I guess I'll be saving my pennies for this now...

Is it always $100 for a programming cable?
