I finally figured out my problem and it was totally a rookie mistake. I kept renaming the file atari_update.img which is what all of the instructions I read said to do. However, the file extension (.img) is really already set up, so when I renamed the file I really only needed to type atari_update. When I could not get it to work it was because I was effectively titling the file atari_update.img.img. Once I corrected that on my SD Card everything worked exactly the way it should have.

Hello: I'm a newbie at doing this. I just got an Atari Flashback 9 Gold (AR3650) for Christmas and I am trying to update the firmware. I downloaded the firmware file at the beginning of this thread and I also downloaded the file from this website https://firmwareupdate.atgames.net/registration. I tried to update my console with both and in both cases when I turn the system on it goes right to the main menu, I never get the instructions for how to proceed with the firmware update. The SD card was formatted as FAT 32 using WIN EN, a program suggested on one of the YouTube videos I watched on how to make the updates. My SD Card is set up as follows: SDHC/atari_update.img I'm using a 4GB Gigastone SD Card. Does anyone have any advice or ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Thank You!
