Fast Boot Firmware - 15 Second Boots

[Voyageur]

I cant mount my gp2x as a usb-storage device anymore. I can use minicom, so I know its not the connection thats messed up.

​

You were one of those lucky guys who had this actually working? Anyway:

The gadget storage doesn't work at all, but it's broken in the official
firmware anyway.

It's nice that network and scp come soon to our GP2X

Weird that the storage isn't working anymore. I thought it was my box that was fscking up .

So what are people doing to get stuff onto there SD cards? Is there a way to do it without using a card reader?

 

[BBTroll]

Use a card reader.

The gadget storage crashes every other minute anyways.

 

[bmilleker]

Haha fair enough.

​

You need to rmmod g_serial before you can use the gp2x as usb-storage.

Hmm, i could swear that never worked earlier . Thanks though

oddbot cramfs is a Googlewhack!!

Not an official one because neither are proper words, but yay!

sorry bout the double post:

but is the battery light supposed to come on in this firmware when the battery is low because my batteries just died and i got no light at all?

 

[davey g]

The battery light has come on for me while running this so yeah, it works as well as it does in 1.4.0.

 

[Ando]

i wonder why im not getting it then <_< could it be that i went to this straight from 1.2.1 or does that not matter at all? any ideas

 

[BBTroll]

Did the kernel upgrade worked?

That would be a reason.

It works as well as it does in 1.4.0, that is to say not very well at all. I've had the battery read empty with no red led on.

 

[Knoxximus]

Used SanDisk 1G SD card.

Firmware 1.4.0

Boot time = 12 sec.

GOTTA LUV IT!! :lol:

Also, all emu's work fine for me that did in 1.2.1....namely DrMD, MAME2x, and Squidge!

Haven't left the batteries in long enough to see if the light works.....I'm just anal like that, I suppose (NO HOMO). B)

It works. BAH. DAMN BATTERY LIGHT!

I was playing tilematch on the planeride home. I was playing normal, and over 20 min of playing on that one game, i forgot to recharge the batteries from the 3 days before, and i had a score in the 2 millions And once it hit the game over screen, it died! CURSES!

Anyway, I love this new firmware thingy.

Does it matter which firmware version you use? For example, can I have 1.1.0 and the fast boot loader?

​

NO!
1.4

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

I believe the fast boot loader is based on a tweaked 1.4 FW version

 

[virusx]

3 Minutes achieving the update (not so hard, simply reading this topic )
14 seconds to boot...

What else to say ?!

Thanks oddbot for the app and NeoStuey for the step by step !

​

Sorry, but I really feel the implication, that others who can't get this to flash the Kernel, haven't read the topic... The point of the matter is: No it isn't hard when you have a compatible SD card.
But Yes it is annoying when everyone else can get it working and upon achieving their 12s boot time, spout some patronising comment.[/rant]

​

Sorry if you feel that, my post was more about me being a noob. :blink:
This topic helped me a lot to do it right.

Something I can add to my short enthusiastic comment is : some of my apps can't run anymore with this Fast Boot Firmware, so I had to come back to Fw 1.4.0

//and sorry for my surely "strange" english. :huh:

 

[Ando]

That would be a reason.

​

i think so, i put the kernel on my SD and it said firmware upgrading when i turned it on? should try it again?

and i have the lcd tweaker option under settings and everything says 1.4 in settings and upon boot up
