# Using the Firmware Updater
Go to the website for the [Firmware Updater](https://oscr.tools/update) and follow the prompts. You must be running a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, etc) on a desktop (or laptop) to use the Firmware Updater -- it does not work on mobile browsers or Firefox.
Before updating ensure all cartridges are removed from the OSCR. If you don't see your OSCR in the list you must install the driver first. There's a link to the driver installer on the updater page. Download and extract the installer then run it. Follow the instructions, restarting if needed. Your OSCR should show up then.
Currently, the Firmware Updater cannot be used to flash a new Arduino for the first time or to update very old OSCR firmware versions. Use the manual method described below for that.
