Maybe we should move it out of the hacks section... to maybe news or something?

Already done.

Yes I did it and it works.

I'm confused I downloaded the .zip file, do I drop the whole thing onto the SD card?

 

[New2u]

Yes you take the file and put it onto the SD card, and rename it to update.zip and follow the instructions above.
