Well I updated my firmware from 1.2.0 "factory installed" to 1.4.0. And there has been no change in boot time, it still remains to be 39 seconds from the moment I turn it on till I get the menu.
I notice now with the screen I get a white vertical line on the left.
My system seems to be a tad slower overall, going from the main menu to video,audio,utilities, etc.
Not all of my skins work properly, Invader Zim especially, the icons at the bottom right hand of the screen seem to dissapear with that skin. For many of my skins i'm getting a onscreen battery indicator at the top left which gets rather annoying aside of the default one.
Video doesn't seem to be any different aside of the continuing function. Video is still offsync when using VBR mp3 audio at lower bitrates 44khz@48kbit/s mono.

I don't know about how long the batteries will last when playing "continous" video but i'll test that out in a bit. What the heck does the LCD tweaker do? it just seems to make my screen flash everytime I move the slider...
Has anyone else run into the same problems as me?
Overall I'm really not digging this update, I haven't seen any note worthy improvements and just notice a slowdown in speed when browsing the menu's. I really hope Gamespark Holdings are watching these forums like a hawk, cuz their firmware doesn't work well on all systems so it seems.
I'm not against gamespark or anything and I still love my system!, but I just wish some things could be ironed out thats all...
Oh and it still shows 1.2.0 on the splash screen
