Updating my OFT

Long-time OFT owner here and not brave enough to try and download the new tunes/play around with them myself. Does anyone on here offer the service, to update an existing OFT with the newest tunes (93 octane) and also, to tune out the cold start shenanigans?

Congrats on 1000 posts.
Are you envisioning mailing the OFT to someone or something?


Do you have open flash manager installed on a PC yet? it's easier than you think, we can walk you through the process.

It's a PC app. Can you dual boot into Windows on your MacBook? Or are you running a VM with Windows in it? Otherwise you'll need access to a PC.

Ah...ok. Macbook is a work laptop, nothing other than stock apps allowed...seems like I need to find a PC somewhere.

Yes. I've been running the Open Flash Manager successfully on Windows 10 installed on a Bootcamp partition on my older MacBook Air. Talks to the OFT just fine.

I appreciate the help...and back to my original question. Since I am unable to update the OFT; can someone do it for me (for a cost, of course)?
