Description

Reads the community firmware catalogue at fm1.designburgapps.com, falls back to GitHub releases, and shows author, version and release date for each entry. Downloads go into a visible folder and are checked against the catalogue's SHA-256 before use. It saves your own copy of M-VAVE's V15 first, then refuses a custom install until that copy exists and asks for stock to be put back between custom firmwares. Installs run Felucca's fm1_install.py (downloaded on first use, not modified). Includes a rescue flow and a written recovery guide for a black-screen unit in WL82 UBOOT1.00 mode. Only a few firmwares have had their key combinations checked; the rest are flagged as not checked.

Install notes

Needs Windows and Python 3.10 or newer. Unzip the release and run install.bat, which installs the MIDI libraries it needs and makes shortcuts. Supply your own copy of M-VAVE's V15 firmware; none is bundled.
