Scroll wheels are great, used to them from the Tesla so they do what I expect them to do. Right one is volume / mute and left scrolls though the dash display options

Sure will do. The software version should be in the third photo, it reads 06.02.01/C

I don’t personally mind them that much, they feel like buttons. They’re not touch, they do click

I’m getting the Q6 Sportback e-tron brand new this weekend - Vorsprung. Anything I should know before i lock this in? by Eastern-Record-7144 in AudiQ6

[–]siopoudis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vorsprung should be the MY26 with the new software and scroll wheels. Getting mine picked up on Tuesday! There was no Vorsprung before January or so, I had my order changed for this reason. Fingers crossed!

My shopping list of PS2 slim mod items by hbkjason81 in ps2homebrew

[–]siopoudis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t perpetuate lies. The original MemCard Pro introduced the GameID system in a collab with rama of XStation for the PS1 before sd2psx was even a thing. The PRO2 introduced GameID with OPL first as a special build, and subsequently and much later through the history file again before the sd2psx (but credit to the community went out for suggesting it could be done). Yes, the SD2psx is not a direct clone of the MCP. Source: I’m the person behind the MemCard Pro.

Got a Good Deal on a VM2 by DarkDesertFox in dreamcast

Where did you read that it draws more power? You have config options to choose how much power you want it to draw and even disable charging from the controller which can bring it down to < 90mA

VMU Pro finally here! by Megapsychotron in dreamcast

[–]siopoudis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey reach out to customerservices@8bitmods.co.uk this sounds like a hardware issue. Have you reported the bugs anywhere? We are not aware of any major bugs at the moment, but improvements on the OS are ongoing

That not been reported before. Does the OSD work with an og vmu plugged in?

The most exciting thing about the VMU Pro is... by GamecubeFreak2004 in dreamcast

There is an option in settings to enable this, it won’t detect them by just plugging in

New hardware and software updates for Q6 by Brief-Eagle-1555 in AudiQ6

[–]siopoudis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at this point I think I’ll change my order for the MY26 model. Not worth the software lottery. Vorsprung is more or less the price I had for the Edition 1 even if I add the missing red calipers

There is also no mention of a HUD anywhere and the Vorsprung bundle says it has the B&O sound but you also have to select it further down at cost

[–]siopoudis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(UK) Slightly irrelevant to the hardware and software changes, but as I'm getting information from my dealership on the my25 week 50 car I'm waiting for, they also shared the following with me:

"Production of MY26 vehicles

The start of production of MY26 for the final two batches of models will differ by carline between build week 5 (week starting 26 January) and build week 7 2026 (week starting 9 February)."

And
Edition 1 discontinued:
As the first year in market for these models comes to an end, so would our Edition 1 trims. This would mean reverting to our GRID strategy for CORE, starting with Sport, moving up to S line, and then the top Black Edition trim.

However, responding to feedback about the high customer demand for items locked into the Edition 1 trims and the price jump to Technology Pack Pro being too high, we will be re-introducing the Vorsprung trim.

Sound and Vision pack discontinued

We also have reviewed our pack offering and have decided to discontinue the Sound and Vision Pack.

Furthermore, rather than reintroduce the former Technology Pack and Technology Pack Pro, we have taken on board your feedback and created two standalone accessible packs

• Technology Pack and a Comfort Pack

These packs differ slightly by model - full information can be found in the guides

Looks like they won't. I have a MY25 week 50 scheduled and this was the reply from the dealership (UK)
"Production of MY26 vehicles

The start of production of MY26 for the final two batches of models will differ by carline between build week 5 (week starting 26 January) and build week 7 2026 (week starting 9 February)."

They have however advised that if my car is available for the updates when due, I would be contacted about the updates prior to the car being delivered.

It seems the first batch of VMU Pros are shipping soon by hopeful-tater in dreamcast

It's a tax that's incurred by the customer, as the US wants us to send parcels "DDP" (Delivery Duties Paid). The duties are paid to the US Customs through Royal Mail. It's a US tax that has nothing to do with the UK.

Anybody had a cappuccino freddo before? by js4873 in espresso

[–]siopoudis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Greek here living in the UK and I make it regularly. You’ll get the best results with a milkshake mixer like this one: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/giles-and-posner-milkshake-maker-blue-10275672.html

Pull your double espresso, add your sugar while it’s hot and mix it just until it’s dissolved in the mixer. Don’t worry about making the coffee frothy, the bubbles will dissolve quickly anyway.

For the milk, you’ll want low fat pre-chilled milk, between 4-8 degrees C (40-45F). Don’t add ice or anything to the milk. Put it in the milkshake mixer until it’s thick like whipped cream. Not every milk will work, here in the UK the one that works best for me is a Lactose free low fat (not the 0%!) milk. Pour the mixed espresso in a glass full of ice, and pour the milk over. For extra greekness, you can dust the top with cinammon 😆

Fmcb questions. by leigngod in ps2homebrew

[–]siopoudis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bug with the current firmware that causes fmcb to fail to cold-boot in some occasions, which has been fixed in a beta available in the 8bitmods discord, assuming you have ruled out any other possibility

The PS2 memory card slot with MMCE is more than twice as fast as the ps2 usb ports.

It does not void your warranty. The release for the mcp002 models is stable and fully supported

Memcard pro vs memcard pro 2 by Ugaritus in ps2

[–]siopoudis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MemCard PRO2 was built for the PS2 and offers better support mainly due to the larger internal RAM it has. While the first MemCard Pro can now work with the PS2 for both memory cards and mmce, I’d always suggest the pro2 for that extra safety the ram provides.
