Problems Updating to EOS 4.7

Hi All,

First post from a new Emulator user.

I have just brought a e6400 upgraded to EIVxt Ultra running EOS 4.6.1. I would like to upgrade EOS to 4.7 so I can use FAT32 disks to allow easier file interchange with a computer.

I firstly tried the EOS file on the Emu website with no luck. I have now tried the EOS files on the "files" section of emusonacid.co.uk with no luck either.

I have copied the .dli file on to several brand new floppies with OSX.5 and XP and every time when I boot the EIV it fails to recognize the update disk.

Is there something simple I am missing? Is there a key combination that I have to hold during boot to force the EIV to look at the floppy drive for an OS update? I have discovered that if I hold [ENTER] down during boot the EIV will look for an update via MIDI.

I really have looked high and low on the internerd and can't find much information (Yes I have read the EOS manual).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Nine

Don't you have to run the "flash prep" before you do the upgrade?

Problem solved!

I used E-Loader 1.1 to up load 4.7 via MIDI, it took about 15 min but worked

The beta version is the ONLY version available - 4.70 was never officially released.

There are bugs in 4.7, but also many fixes and new features, and I've been running it for many years without any problems.

If you don't have RFX then the best version to run is 4.61 I believe.

Thanks for the E-Loader link :grin:

Just curious.. what are these bugs in 4.7 beta?

I was assuming it would be best to have the most recent OS and the main reason i want it is so i can adjust filter resonance whilst a note is playing.
As in 4.6 or whatever i currently have, resonance only changes when a new note is triggered.

Random panning for one - also I know the RFX routing can be a bit screwy depending on how you set it up. I think the sequencer has issues from what I can remember the last time I used it. The realtime resonance control was never meant to be left enabled, and according to the developers it results in lower quality filters. Slow loading from the floppy drive.

If you search the forum I'm sure you'll find plenty of others.

However, there are bugs in 4.61 as well. No software is bug-free.
