Sumvision Cyclone Primus–Part 1

Ok recently I purchased a Sumvision Cyclone Primus for the specific purpose of putting all my daughters films onto the device so she could just switch on and play!

I was fed up with the ridiculous amount of bloody adverts and shit you have to sit through to get a kids DVD to start! So over the years I’ve been removing all the crap and making into XviDs to save some space.

    I purchased one of this too. I noticed some deceiving since manual has some white stickers hiding paragraphs and also it does not support ISO while the webpage specifications clearly pointed ISO support (ISO “only supports above media files”) But now, this feature is removed from website. It also perform a wrong alphabetic file sorting.

    Will next firmware solve this problems? Who knows!
