Downloading and unpacking new updates and firmware

Normally, Crystal Chips are shipped with no firmware depending on where you purchased your chip. Some installation service providers may ship your crystal modified console with the default or their favorite firmware pre-installed. This is usually done to ensure that the chip and console is working properly before sending it back to you.

If you're performing your own installation then you will need to flash your own firmware onto the chip. Head over to Crystal-Chips.com and use the left navigation. Click downloads --> firmware to get to the firmware downloads. There you'll find the latest official firmware in two flavors .rar and .zip. Below you will find freeware tools that will decompress both file formats.
