Just letting the people of this kind and generous forum know that Aquafish's site has an updated firmware now available, with the PC link fixed and skinnable
boot(y) screens.

i've been really leary about flashing my firmware, but is this firmware worth flashing? Looks nice from what I've read about it. Has the one bug been fixed that wouldn't allow files to be xferred over 256k? or around there

 

[bringoutthegimp]

yeah everything is working fine. Worth a flash imo and a custom pic on the boot selector is a good feature.

 

[shotaway]

thank you...ever so much.

There's a little program in the zip that can create boot-ini files. It's quite straightforward. Really nice to have the possibillity to start a different firmware for each SMC.

I really like this, but it takes far longer to boot up than Mr Spiv's multifirmware. If it could be speeded up in the next release, it would be perfect.

It may be slower but when I put in my games card it boots Wind-Ups, when I use my GPCinema card it loads the Euro-firmware and when I use my MP3-card it just loads the MP3-player.
I love the way this works, it's so much nicer than pressing select (I know, I'm lazy)and choosing a firmware depending on what I want to do.

 

[DemonStar55]

Where do I get the PC-Link thingy to use on it??

 

[raven]

You should be able to use the one in the European-firmware now but the other one can be found here.

 

[extremegamer]

just flashed and got it up, but all the text is black and i can't see it, is this supposed to be like this?

 

[raven]

I think you can change the font-color with the included software (you can also load a bitmap as a background for the boot-screen) but I have not tried this myself since I just use the boot-ini files I created and don't ever see the bootscreen.

How do you get GP cinema to load up from the boot screen? Mine just resets itself....
