fixed it
it finally got to the point where all the player would do is sit there cycling through the fake reboots. i would watch it in hyperterminal and it said abnormal player termination. player sent signal 11. it took me about an hour of this, and me pulling the plug, to try to get it to load up in emplode. it finally did, i put 2.0b7 on again and it works fine. as fine as beta can be at any rate.

still cant edit my config.ini though. please someone tell me how to do so. if i click edit config.ini in emplode it opens the file with this information in it : "; ??? ÿû°L" and thats it. minus the "" of course.
