You need to download 2 things - the fw.bin for the firmware you want to upgrade, and the fw.fxe to upgrade it. Where you'll find the ;latter, I'm not absolutely sure - try Darkfader's site, I think its where I got it from. The firmware, assuming you're upgrading to mr_spiv's one (no reason not to, unless you're a developer, in which case you MIGHT want to upgrade to one with a few exception handlers etc) can be found at his page (deadcodersociety.tk or similar) under the title "Multifw.zip".
