is there a happy medium? which way do you feel would be best?
H3Mod 1.2 has a load skin mode which automatcally takes all the image files in the prespective directory and compiles them into the firmware, whcich is by far the safes route. A corrupted hex could brick someones player and they would play the blame game but the latter method put the blame on the unfourtunate user.
