Firmware Flashing With A New Blu... Huh? I Am Lost

[Surfer74]

I know, annoying newbies with alot of questions

Anyway, I had a non-flu before which was already flashed with a multifw I guess, which I liked. Now with the new BLU I got today, there is some new firmware that offers just "Play" and "PC-Link"... and I have no idea, how to start for example Mirkos clockspeed tester, because it will not be listed in under "Play", only the emus etc are listed there...

so actually I have 2 very different questions:

- How can I start and actually see everything with that firmware I got? I mean like an explorer, where I do see all my files and click+start them

- If that´s not possible somehow, I checked the forum and people suggested the Aquafish multifirmware, which includes everything I had before on my old non-flu... but the guide for aquafish is a.) really short and not 100% clear to me and I have some strange feelings about it and b.) if I simply ignore my feelings and do step 1+2 in the guiode and copy those 2 files to the main gp directory, I am back to my first question because I can´t start that one file...

SORRY, MAJOR NOOB!

Use Yafl and put that in GPMM. That way you can go to
PLAY->YAFL->Mirko's

Yeah, most people recommend YAFL. It's the easiest way to go, and also a very nice explorer and file launcher

the files are listet in play, just put the fxe in gpmm like allways, the blu shows all fxe's in gpmm like evry other file launcher

Clocktester worked fine for me on a new non-flashed BLU. Just stick it in gpmm and it'll show up under "Play."

I only flashed to Multifirmware from the BLU firmware because it can only launch an FXE from the GPMM directory and sometimes they live elsewhere like CaSTaway for example. Other than that it was great, but I flashed to Aquafish v.5.01 which still includes the BLU firmware but lets me customise stuff a bit more and boot into Windups which is my favourite for getting started quickly!

is there any homepages for those firmwares? Like that aqua thingie?

Im totaly newbie into these too.
Where can I find those aqua-firmware files and guides? Tried lookking little bit over the forum but didn't find. So help is required (AGAIN!)

I can't remember the URL offhand, but I looked it up and posted it recently for someone else so it IS in the forum somewhere, try a search or perhaps Google.

​

1) I went to the main forum page.
2) I put in "aquafish" (without quotes) as my search string at the top-right.
3) Seeing nothing relevant on the first page, I moved onto the second.
4) About 10 posts down, look what I found!

The step-by-step thing above was just to make sure you understand how to properly use this forum's search engine
