I'll attempt to make this quick... I had a bad file which caused my empeg to repeat during boot up. I connected to the player with hyperterminal, emptied the playlist, rebooted, everthing was wonderful. After a day or so, I upgraded to beta 13. The player locked at the boot screen (an atari logo, my personal favorite). I reinstalled beta 11. Now my player hangs up during or bit after loading the visuals. Attempting to control the player with hyperterminal doesn't work. By that I mean hitting control c doesnt give me a command prompt. Hyperterminal looks like this
