Thank you,
first I saved my state
then I saved my FAT disk
after updating DMCP_flash_3.24_DM42-3.22.bin
I updated to DM42pcm-3.22.9.pgm
and restored my previously saved state.

That worked great

Sorry, I’m a newbie.
How do we install this?
I’ve copied the file to the root directory, then nothing happens.
I know there are instructions here but which part is relevant?

Which version is currently on your DM42? If DM42 v3.22 / DMCP v3.24 than it should be "6.4. Program Loading/Update" else install the official Firmware first.

Thank you for your help. I did it! :P
That’s great!

Any patch for more system fonts?

thanks to the help here i got it working and what a delight to have it!

but this part gives me some 'bad label' error and i don't know what this is or what it's for:

"F3 key functionality
F3 will start "DM42F3" user program
Shift-F3 is toggling the persistent custom menu functionality"

thanks! /guy

Shift-F3 toggles between original-firmware behavior and "Persistent Custom Menu"
F3 (has no function in original firmware) executes a LBL "DM42F3" (if it exists), you can insert this in your favorite program (e.g. under the name-lbl) and then start this with F3.
