[techFreak]

What kind of source? You mean code?

 

[Mr Doctor]

He means how do you know

But its been talked about for a week now, sure youre info is most likely on the ball.

 

[Quiest]

No, he means a source for this news. Where you know this from.

I personally can talk to Game Park. So the info is from the first hand.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

The best news from my perspective is that it promises the removal of the spontaneous bricking bug that some of us have encountered.

From the German:

"Ausserdem wird die Update-Methode geändert, da es mit der bisherigen Probleme gab (ach)"

English translation from google:

"In addition the update method is changed, since it gave with the past problems (oh sign)"

 

[Mr. Anderson]

yes the updates are said to be run from the utility menu instead directly when booting up. You know there are MANY SD cards that wheren't able to update the firmware in the first place while working perfectly in the GPH Linux...

That is superb news! Neither of my cards work for updating the firmware

Of course, you do know that you'll have to update the firmware to get this functionality. At least, I think that's the case.

Got my gp2x wee!, but I dare not turn it on gonna have to wait for this firmware and put it on the sd card then boot with that and with the gp2x plugged into ac taking no chances, would hate to send it back because of bricking.
So any word on when it's coming out?

 

[Squidge]

I'd use it now, you may find your SD card isn't compatible with GPH's reflasher, and so it either ignores it completely, or blanks your nand (but then again, it can do that with a completely empty SD card too)

Go for a gamble I'd say, if it bricks, it bricks, at least you had some fun

Methinks you're being a little too over-the-top if you dont want to turn it on!

I don't know if it would make a difference but you could also boot without having the SD card in the unit.

 

[Epsilon]

I booted couldn't keep my dirty prying fingers away from it, besides had some code I wished to test on it...It didn't brick not so scared now atm trying to get snes, nes and uqm on the sd
