E/X-Mag 4.0 software, update?

[Rope a Dope]

I know theres already a thread discussing some issues with it, but now I am hearing about version 4.1.

So whats the ETA on when I can send my E-Mag in and have it updated to 4.0+?

Software is complete. It won't be available anytime soon, if at all. ETA: unknown. A hardware update is needed first.

UGH!! How much would that set us back?

[Miscue]

I dunno, I'm not working on it and am unaware of anyone who is.

its not a matter of how much yet... its a matter of updateing the ENTIRE board. ie from the ground up. and well its all in pre-pre-pre talk and not even started

So um get it reflashed 3.2 and enjoy the functions of a program that is fully compatable with the old board.

What is the hardware update? Is it an easy fix that we can do or do we need to send it to AGD?

whats the need for newer software? why cant we be content with what we have? we already have the fastest mech/electro guns on the market...why get greedy? some one fill me in

Hardware issues?

From watchthint the video of 4.0 in action, I didn't see any hardware issues.

and they don't know what the problem is people.

ummm whats the point of having the fastest mech gun if you dont take advantage of the speed.. Big deal you can tell people you have the fastest valve, but when your only shooting half of what it is capable off, it doesn't really matter

WHATEVER!

You were blowing your load over the "knight rider" mode on your SFL!

[edweird]

yeah... but it does not go randomly full auto on my SFL.

when I get back to speed with the tourneys I will /gulp have it flashed back to 3.2. Especially if it becomes an issue. However it has failed to have any issues yet on my board and if any do crop up im gonna reflash 3.2 asap.

The slight increase in speed is nice, but I like all the extra features. To delay it in AGD fashion for another 6 years is silly when the only issue with it is some noise from the HES and having it go full auto. That can be resolved easily with a few days of R&D by AGD.

But I'm sure they're busy designing new sight rails and paintball markers that look like M-16's... cause that's what the sport of paintball still is!!



Come on guys... you have the software already made, come up with some little hardware upgrade that costs you $5 to make and charge us $100 to get like every other company out there. I know you can break tradition at least once and screw us out of some extra cash. I wouldn't mind if it means I can get 1 extra BPS over the chrono, cause I'll feel inferior to the next guy that has it, and THAT is how you cash in.

We all know you want the cash Tom, cause "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the woman."-Scarface

Not sure if someone posted this already, but I heard that the solenoid could NOT keep up with the ROF of the 4.0 software. I thought i read that after 20 or so bps, the solenoid started sputtering so to speak.

Not sure though
