Hey @jayson.esparza welcome to Backstage! Great to have you join us here

Have you tried downloading the file again, just to rule out any file corruption? Also worth checking for things like not unzipping the file first or placing it in the wrong folder.

If all of those are ruled out, we can start a bug report and go from there

haha, that’s embarassing. after i redownloaded the zip and started unzipping i realized i moved the unzipped folder into the Firmware folder, not the ppf itself. sorry to waste your time. everything is going just fine now. cant wait to have some fun with it!

Any updates on the bugs that still need to be fixed before the final 1.6.x / 1.2.x release?
And what’s cooking for another separate Beta-feature release?
