Firmware 1.6.1


installed now on my caanoo
changing the startup logo, really nice now, and i think a bit more quick then the previous firmware
plus you can see small improvements in the options, type in the vibration...
but remember, is a very small update..
ps: when you are updating you can see the date 4/4/2011... so, the firmware is dated to april and they release it only now? mah
 
Been ages since they updated, you think they would give a little more but hay.. its an update :unsure:

EDIT: Installed it anyway lol

Dont know wheather it was just me but MK Trilogy seemed very fast at 700Mhz on Pcsx4all :unsure:

Yep, didn't see any changes but the logo ( this time we won't play forward :D ). Needs to be tested a bit more...

Snes emulation feels faster, yoshi's island is more playable on pocketsnes 7.2 especially on fast mode

:lol:
agree with you, i've tested some thing like games and also emu and all work a little quickly ;)
if Gph release an update only for change the logo.... :lol:
 
So overall, this new firmware improves the experience, not as good as 1.0.6 apparently but better than 1.6.0 was.

I'll have to update mine.
 
Do we know what caused the performance drop after firmware 1.0.6? I read through all the firmware related posts, but couldn't find anything.

I haven't been paying much mind lately, has anyone been developing an alternative firmware for the Caanoo like Open2X?
Obviously there'd be the benefit of producing an optimised or 'lite' firmware capable of processing far more efficiently than the stock firmware.
 
Really wish they could improve the music function.

(I don't think there are any playlist support. (never checked))

Would be nice to have a little submenu on click, (so you can make a playlist on the fly), search folders and auto build a temporary list.

(I like to put my mp3s in folders you see, and it would be convenient that I can just random play all music instead of having to do it all manually)
 
The new boot logo has an ugly bug. The honeycomb background is not consistant, and looks like it was pasted in place.

I don´t know, why they don´t manage to reach the speed of 1.06. That´s what i expected at least, but this "new" one is useless.
I really like my Caanoo, but GPH is annoying.
