Good morning!

If you are talking about the patch, (My Genos came as version 1.1, and I had to run the 1.3 patch.) you don't need to open it with a computer.  You simply unzip the file, and copy it to the root (top) directory of your usb stick.  With the Genos turned off, put in the stick, and turn on the Genos while holding down the start/stop button.  Eventually it will ask if you want to update, and to push the start/stop button to do so.  Then wait for the keyboard to reboot.

Hope this helps!

Hi Carlos84,

the USB stick must be formatted with FAT32 file system. NTFS, exFAT or Apple file systems are NOT compatible with Yamaha Keyboards. Please check the format of the stick and reformat it, if needed, on your Computer or (better) directly on Genos to FAT32 format. (All data on stick is deleted when formatting!)

Important: Be sure not to format the internal Genos USER drive by accident!


Best regards,
Chris
