SD Card acces:
Mutch better acces to the SD card, better emulation on Gngeo of large game using .gfx files or in beat2x

Tested correctly with Beat2x, supertux, ladykiller, tilmatch, raw, reminiscence, puzzleland, n-tris, falldown, dstroy, blockrage, vektar, taile-tail, sudoku2x, spout, memorygp2x, bubbletrain, Barrage, Gmenu2X, cpuspeed, CraigAmp, EnergySaver, Enexfi, gp2x_vtex, GP=2X, sterm, Cyberhockey, Deal or no Deal, Extender, Levelsshmup, Stris, sokoban, solitaire2x, starnsball, GngeoV0.7, PSX4ALL, PicoDrive V0.963, MAMEGP2x V3.1, SquidgeSNES V0.38, AlexKidd2X V0.4, GNUBoy2x V0.6.
Just DrMdV5b7 and HU6280 don't work and stay freezing on the "Patching MMU hack" screen. New version of DrMdx that work with firmware 2.1.0 is here. HU6280 can work if you disable MMUHack in the .ini file.

If you have done a good update you would have on the boot of your GP2x this screen (pay attention to the number). If you don't have this you have tu put the .img file of the upgrade in the root of your SD and boot up your GP2x pressing START+SELECT.

And if you go through the menu "Setting", "Info" you would have this (pay attention to the number). If you don't have this juste go through "Utility" menu en select the .gpu file that come with the firmware upgrade.

Oh, allready? And what it does, exept possability of changing skins? (this only what i can read about )

It would be great, if they could turn on second core using at firmware level yet. I mean do something that every running program can use it. Uh, little unclear and maybe im dreaming too much, but somehow i believe, that it could be done.

 

[OPP]

yes yes yes yes yes. This is great news.

Well I can read some stuff about ID3 and maybe also playlists. No clue really though.

Sigh, why a thousand parallel topics about the same thing.

It sure is, I just gave Galaga a go. There's a yellow rectangle displayed right before the MAME title screen though, I don't know what that's all about.

[spoyser]

Is that is it then it sounds like it wasn't worth the wait!!

Yes, tested with snowbros and Street figher 2

 

[torpor]

Great! So what about the source? Those of us working on Open2X would very much like to be able to catch up with this release now ..

 

[Puck2099]

Could someone try AlexKidd2X using this new firmware, please?

Thanks

 

[kardasan]

honestly...the mp3 player works slower, maybe due to ID3tag reading. The only real good update I can see is pause/resume in movies bug fixed

 

[Guyfawkes]

I will release an update the user guide later on today. I am currently adding the new features in fw 2.1.0 to the guide and also adding a few new things such as a breakout board guide.

 

[Manwe]

Now we need a new version of SKIN2X !

 

[J201605]

O awesome new skins and minor bugs fixed. Thats not the kind of release I wait this long for. Thats like a little patch that should be released every few weeks. Maybe theres something in that description that i don't understand or was left out of English translation, but this seems really unimpressive.

Great FW!
On my GP2X the FW2.1.0 is only shown on the green loading screen. And when i go to INFO it says 2.0.0. Is that OK? Also i still can't see OGM's and they are really have that extension.
