"Upgrade" is really simple, all you need is a screwdriver. No soldering required, you just take one board out and insert another one instead - only some basic cutting around USB hole may be necessary, but even I with my completely impaired DIY skills managed to do that for GTA04 with a small penknife, and here it should be even easier as Freerunner's USB hole was tighter than the one in N900
