Firmware 1.2.0

[deepmenace]

hmm - just run the update - it now says 1.2.0 on the green screen but my sd card is now reading as blank.

it isnt.

anyone else had a go yet?

am gonna try another sd card.

{edit} sd card was an integral 1gb

 

[subin]

(1.2.9 and the hardware support marks some very big changes).

​

and when will that be arriving? hmm?

 

[deepmenace]

hmm - picks up my high speed integral 1gb card fine....

oh well, sorry Cannon S2 IS, time for a little sd card trade ;-)

btw, the picture viewer just showed a 2592x1944 photo for me - 5 megapixel!

woohoo! thanks GPH

Opposite problem to deepmenace - just ran it for larfs, but the firmware screen hasn't chnaged. Everything else is hunky-dory except the video player is messed up. Most puzzling.

Yes, big pictures, this is good!
Looking forward to installing this but I'll let the brickings settle first

I'm waiting for an option that allows me to skip Linux, to run application directly on hardware, + avoiding the 30" load time: a sort of multiboot. I wonder how the developers can bear the loading times...

Damn Linux...

Well, the new features in fw1.2.0 are very good

 

[drachers]

Tried the firmware from the DJWillis link, seemed to start ignoring my SD card from the menus. Popped the older firmware back on quick as a flash and all is well again. Phew! I would wait for a bit on this one, chaps and chapesses.

worked for mine, new picture viewer is much improved.
no probs accessing my sd card either

using a play.com branded 512 sd card (tis actually a toshiba card with a play sticker on it)

 

[ks5202]

Okay, I've checked the firmware section here and there is no sign of it. Where is the file?

​

It's on the official Korean website, http://www.gpx2.co.kr/

​

it turns out viking cards are also toshiba cards with a sticker on.

As Woogal says community SDL’s have there roots in the GPH hacks but as time goes on the differences are getting bigger and bigger (1.2.9 and the hardware support marks some very big changes).

​

I'm making an assumption here, but wouldn't GPH have modified their version of SDL to get TV out working with all apps and will install those SDL libs during the upgrade? And the SDL built from the source that GPH supplied (in the Open2x project) won't have those changes yet?

Not that I use SDL anyways. Just a little confused by the several different versions of libraries floating around already. :huh:

Well the firmware upgraded fine, but when i tried the patch i got an error:

ERROR!
Patch Failed


What went wrong?

Works great here, my 1GB sandisk card is read fine, the picture viewer is much nicer, and the menu is much easier to navigate now!

​

When it's done, hardware support is being ported up into 1.2.9 and it's being well tested before it gets released. I think there may be stuff starting to come out over the next week or so.

On topic: I have updated my log with a guide to doing the upgrade as well as the files.

 

[deepmenace]

so this tv-out thing for the emulators....

I take it that this something that is going to have to be coded into the emulators themselves?

i.e. the function is now available for the devs to utilise in future releases?

 

[Mikey242]

Aaah I think i figured out my problem, I upgraded the firmware with a custom theme applied. Even when I changed it to default the patch didnt work. However, when I changed it to default then upgraded the firmware again the patch worked fine.

​

As far as I can tell, it will have to be implemented into the emulators themselves (hence the SDL discussion).

Calling rlyeh! TVout support in MinimalLib?

Easy update using intergral 1gb card then loaded patch no problems everything works fine. Photoviewer much improved.

Patched with a 128mb Sandisk, everything worked fine, no problems here.
