It seems I've found a bug that may potentially turn out to be the way in to the PMP we've been looking for - but don't hold your breath. Basically, through a specifically made file, I can make the PMP crash just by opening the folder it's in via the PMP file browser. Now, this means one of two things:

1. The data is overflowing into other data, and the PMP crashes when it hits said invalid data, or
2. The data is overflowing into instructions, and the PMP crashes when things go horribly, horribly wrong.

More investigation needed - the end result from this kind of thing is that it may, in the distant future, be possible to run custom firmware without having to re-flash the device. Or it could mean that it's a fun way to crap out the PMP.
