Boot Time Poll

[TelcoLou]

Both our units take 26 seconds to boot up (mine @ 26.1 seconds, my wife's at 26.2), running FW 1.2.0

 

[Shikaku]

From the moment I flick the switch and power flows through its chips... 32 seconds with firmware 1.4.0. Unlike most people here I actually have patience... and thought for the longest time it was like 15 seconds =p

 

[foft]

26 for me and thats with cut down boot scripts on 1.4...

[melime]

well
I have something around 28 secounds with fw 1.2.0

 

[dioxide]

I got one for 18 seconds and another 26 seconds. Running version 1.1.0.

 

[Rayek]

Wow. Mine boots up in 27.32 seconds. But it varies. Sometimes it boots in 20, sometimes near 30. What would cause this variation, I wonder? Anyway, has anyone noticed if the new firmware affects bootup time? That's probably one of the main reasons I'm sticking with 1.2.1 for now.

But, like Shikaku, I thought it was less than 20 seconds for the first 20 times I booted it up. I must be one of the patient ones as well..

About 26 seconds from the moment i switch the power switch on.

 

[BenScar]

26.03 seconds, from the moment the power switch moves on.
Using the 1.1.0 firmware..

 

[unlucky]

what are the cut down boot scripts? First edition gp2x 41 second boot time

 

[chaos engineer]

please mention whether you got a first edition unit or not. I got a first edition and it takes 40 secs

 

[dosteridge]

I have a first edition unit on 1.2.1 and it takes 36 seconds, but sometimes it can be quicker?
But whats a few seconds when it gives us hours of fun eh!

 

[mrpham]

Approximately 34 seconds booting time with 1.4 firmware patch on a "second-edition" GP2X.

 

[jmetal88]

Always 22 seconds. I've timed it repeatedly, and on multiple firmwares.

 

[Fiendicus_Prime]

29 seconds with 1.2.1
I always boot without SD card now because it never freezes with the card out. *WHEN* it works with the card in, it takes about the same time.

I could swear it was faster when I first got it though??

Do I have to remove them all again now that I have flashed to 1.4?

 

[yaustar]

~23 seconds. First Edition 1.1.0 firmware

 

[fishybawb]

~34s 1.4.0 "second" edition.

It's actually a little slower than it was with 1.2.1 and there are a couple of seconds of black screen just before the menu pops up now too.

On the plus side, the battery light works and it doesn't crash on bootup any more

 

[IanJ]

33 seconds. First edition. 1.4.0 f/w.

Often gets "stuck" on the green screen, though.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

never freezes for me with the new fw 1.4.0. yay.

I get around 24 seconds boot up time. Pretty decent if you ask me

 

[ingrin]

29 seconds, with fresh batteries 2500 and 2000, with or without SD card.
1.2.1 "second" edition
