Eh, there is no english changelog so I can't tell you what is new about it. I think I'll wait for others to upgrade it and see how they like it

They have the firmware here for anyone of you GP2x users.

from what i have read it fixes video playback (after they broke it) some crap to the ebook reader (reverse color and fonts yay...) it makes it boot slower, there is STILL NO SOURCE CODE! it sucks in general, im gettin tired of gphs stuff. im sticking with 1.21 till there is source and we get some decent homebrewed OS

Homebrewed OS's would be quite interesting. By the way, Triton have you every tried using madplaygp2x? I've been dying to use it, but all I get is like a black screen. Its supposed to play music while your playing games and stuff. Eh, I guess I should pm this, but just wondering if you got it to work.

I guess I should really pm this stuff

THEY JUST RELEASED THE SOURCE

here is a link to the thread http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?ac ... 42&t=25960

EDIT: o and minkster over clocking makes everything better

go into the archive and download the cpu/lcd tweaker program

Post by **Triton** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 9:59 pm

the tweaker doesnt work with fw 1.4 btw and theoddbot just released the first community FW, its early beta but UBER FAST BOOT! under 15 seconds! thats down for the 40-60 it usually takes (for me anyway) i will get this when he has it not beta anymore

is it new fw altogether or just speedy boot because i am not goin up to 1.4 until they make it easy to overclock again

Post by **Triton** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 10:06 pm

its fw 1.4 modded to boot fast, read only and some othe wonky stuff but fast boot, im still a 1.2.1 and staying there till they quit breaking stuff when they "fix" other things, or when there is a good community one with enabled usb host

I tried that cpu overclocking program and my gp2x can overclock to 278mhz without crashing

Now I can run Megaman games on squidgesnes at fullspeed! Thanks Turbo

Post by **Triton** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 11:00 pm

i can OC to 300 for about 15 min before a crash, underclock to 99mhz for ever without problems but it crashes a lot at 125 and 275
