OSSC Firmware Update tutorial
Please note – This tutorial is out of date. The latest firmware can be downloaded here.
Please note that a hardware modification may is required to install firmware 1.x, if you have an OSSC hardware revision 1.7 or earlier see this page for more information.
Using Win32 Disk Imager is only necessary on firmware 1.19 or earlier. Firmware 1.20 or greater can be updated by using a FAT32 or exFAT formatted SD card and placing the firmware file in a directory called “fw”.
As excitement for the OSSC mounts, the lucky few who were in the first batch of pre-orders should be receiving their units directly from Marqs very soon. In preparation, I’ve just added a tutorial that takes you through the process of updating the firmware on the unit, using Windows 10 (it’s applicable to all other modern versions of Windows too). You can watch the tutorial below.
The latest firmware is 0.69 and can be downloaded here.
Win32 Disk Imager can be downloaded here. The OSSC firmware can be downloaded from the bottom of the Wiki page here.

On 5x mode, my snes games gets a weird horizontal line that’s shifts the image over only when in motion. When in 3x mode it doesn’t happen so I was wondering if it is just a glitch
Hi Cadras, please use the forum for all technical questions relating to OSSC, thanks.
Ok sorry I didn’t know where to post this
Hi My OSSC will not see my SD card.
If you’re on one of the earlier firmwares, make sure to use a MicroSD card that’s 2gb or less in size.
is there a size restriction on sd cards inserted into the ossc?
Not on the new firmwares.
Anyone know if the Altera USB Blaster will also work for firmware updates via JTAG?
