For my part, I've never really used this opt rom. I just dropped it into CloudT since it is available. Might have checked to see it launch... which it does, shows a banner, but if you hit enter you get the crash. I'd like to hear if anyone else uses it with whatever version of the Opt ROM they have... maybe I have a corrupted file. -- John.
