Hi,
I love my prs500 and am still nervous about "improving it" by using the hackbuilder. Perhaps if this question is answered, I'll feel more comforable....

Please clarify...

Hack Builder Directions say to:
Creating Hack Files:
Once you've made your selections and adjusted your buttons, select the "Build Hacks" option from the File menu.
This will write the appropriate files into the folder labeled SDCardRoot.
Copy the CONTENTS (not the folder itself) of SDCardRoot to the root level of your SD card.
Put the card in your Reader and follow the instructions for flashing.

My question???
Do I still need to use the SDCardRoot files with UNIVERSAL FLASHER program (from another thread) or just Put the card in the reader with the SDCartRoot files and follow the instructions?

thanks.
