Third parties may release their own firmware builds and announce them in this forum.
Please note that bugs found in these firmware releases should be posted in this same forum. SwissMicros provides no support for these firmware releases so in the event of a problem, please contact the author of the firmware in question.
When publishing your own build of the DM42 firmware, we require that you include a notice in your "About" screen informing the user that this version of the firmware is neither provided by nor supported by SwissMicros.
I'm a big fan of the PCM firmware and I can't understand why Swissmicros hasn't commented this improvement yet. Maybe it would be interesting for everyone to know whether a (at least partial) transfer to the official firmware is planned or if there is no interest.
But as I mentioned in an older thread, I am not a big fan of the "temporary shifting" of the PCM. On the one hand it doesn't correspond to the normal menu behavior and operation is a little inconsistent as a result. On the other hand there are three custum-menu lines and so you do not specifically reach the desired menu line but rather something a little random depending on where you were (1-6 7-12 13-18). But I'm happy to put up with that because of the many advantages of PCM.
What bothers me massively is shifting between 1-6 and 13-18 instead to 7-12. Which means that shift on menus with 12 functions are often shows an empty menu.
Putting own functions on 1-6 and 13-18 is also no good solution, since the PCM would then behave in the opposite way to the original menus of the 42.
If you can't avoid "temporary shifting", then I would think it is better you shifted to the down-arrow line because shift corresponds rather to "further" than to "back".
This is awesome! Any idea why this hasn’t been incorporated as an option to the DM42?
