I believe that the -2 error is because of the lack of a config.ini file on your Mark 1 (even though I would have expected you to have one on your player even before the latest versions of emplode created it). This should have been solved by resynchronising the Mark 1 with beta11d of emplode. If you did this then the error must be due to something else which I hadn't considered.

I'm sorry that you don't feel you have the confidence in the clone tool to try it again.
