I haven't had any issues with my upgraded 2.3, I think the only issues with 2.5 were with the new carts acting up.
This is correct. On another thread Oliver himself wrote this:
Hello
I'm sorry for all the inconvenience.
The issues that appeared with some 2.5 carts (sporadically missing sounds, sometimes nanoloop won't start) are due to a timing problem: In version 2.2, I had set the memory access times (wait sates) to a very low value in order to speed up processing. For 2.3, this setting was not necessary anymore, but it didn't hurt either, so the code remained there. The new chip used in 2.5 appears to be lesss tolerant to such tight timing so that some units occasionally fail. This can be fixed with a software update that sets the timing parameters back to standard values.
I will send out USB-adaptors to everyone as soon as they're ready (which, according to the factory, should be next week).
