Hope not!

Wez, I'm all yours! just tell, and I'll do

But there's a problem here... I think that my DM500s is a clone :s
Can I upgrade the gemini image? even if it's a clone?

Read this thread.

Gemini Team announcement

It's not my fault! the clone is the only one available right here...

By the way, Dear Robbo, read the last part of this

Our clone box recognition mechanism caused large waves in the last days and many opinions have been told to us. On the one hand there have been the enraged owners of clone, who had to install their addons manually now without Blue panel. Then there have been the people who simply did not understand Linux and the GPL and accused us of GPL-breach. Also a financial dependence or support from Dream Multimedia and or sponsors was subordinated to us.

On the other hand there have been over 1500 users of our forum who singned our explanation.

All in all our action was accepted very positively and we achieved our intended goal to give an impulse the owners of clone boxes. There have also been cases in which people who thought they owned a genuine Dreambox noticed because of this action that they are owners of a clone box. Too our own surprise according to unconfirmed messages, now one of the manufacturer changed over to supply their own images.

Recapitulatory we note, it was never our intention to insert a waterproof recognition and to get in a Cat-and-mouse game between us and the box manufacturer. Our intension was to push a general discussion to create a consciousness on the clone and reproduction problem and to disasociate us from the clones, too. In the context of our possibilities as image developer we have used the one and only available possibility to make our point of view clear. As image-developer we have absolutly no influence on sponsors, dealers or Dream Multimedia. Our influence on the persons and companies involved in this relationship is very limited and lacked also on support from some places. In any case we get attention on our displeasure and we did not send newsletters of our sponsors containing information about clones. We will keep this in the future.

As we all are Dreambox fans we would like to say clearly, that it is in the exclusive responsibility of Dreammultimedia to proceed against clones. Only DMM has the possibilities (e.g. legal) which might be the only effective method against clones.

For us as Gemini developer and operators of the IHAD this action is now finished. With the upcoming release 4.3.1 of the Gemini Project the clone recognition will be deactivated. We nevertheless ask everyone to use its influence to proceed against clones.

Changes to 4.3.0
* Pictures (JPEG, BMP, GIF und PNG) can now be displayed on the Dreambox 500
* Fix of the EPG display in the overview when there are mutiple languages in the EPG

I'm not judging

If that's all that is available it is a shame, I'm surprised that there is no official DM presence in your location.

By the way, I had already read it all, but pointed it out for your benefit in case you had not.

I don't care either way, as I have a Technomate.

[angelus]

Neither I. I've tried my best... but, it is what it is.

Hopefully Wez has been able to advise you enough to get what you need.

[angelus]

Well. Got the last gemini + the last cccamd & mgcamd, with the autoupdater.

What's the next step?

[Curious123]

The latest CCcam is 2.0.8 and Mgcamd 1.29, the first will open almost everything with the relevant keys. You need to load the latest dreambox keys and before you ask google is your best friend. Once you find these keys they should contain two folders var and scce you can either copy the contents or the whole folders. You can get most of the channels on dreambox and I am always surprised to see people buying cards. Admins edit or delete any inappropriate content in the post.

Hi mate I have sent you a mail it should be with you by now. I don't think that the latest Gemini image will load to your box, you can try.

There are other images out there and I found the Pli image to be very good and if you have your network set up right you can download the EMUs from them, using the blue button. The EMUs for the Pli image are different from those you can d/l elsewhere so you will need to ones from them.

Good luck with you box and please keep us informed.

Very best regards Wez
