Gotta Love The Boot Time :p

[AcidiC]

I fell asleep last night waiting for the thing to boot lol... i found it on the ground beside my bed in the morning :lol:

good times

 

[nickspoon]

Aye, the GP2X boot times have allowed me to do many things... like forgetting that it was on and actually working *gasp*

 

[timbobsteve]

Hopefully that will all change with a little more tweaking of the system... we need one thing though... source... but yeh that has been talked to death and I don't mean to bring it up now

 

[pantera6]

lol
yup
it crashes to often when booting aswell
so u don't know if its crashed until you realize 10 minutes have gone by

 

[Paradox]

with the beta firmware i havn't crashed yet on bootup

It takes longer than Symbian to boot, but for some reason, watching it do so seems less annoying. As for crashing, so far it has been pretty stable, except with SquidgeSNes.

 

[gazcart]

would it be possible to have a save state on the OS, usually I want to go back to what I was doing before I switched it off.

If you could turn it back on to exactly the state just before you turned off, this would be great.

 

[PokeParadox]

That sounds great.. but you'd just end up accumulating errors.

 

[nickspoon]

And this is where Paradox appears, saying "ow, I got poked again".

 

[Nickmon]

I found the boot time to not be as bad as i thought it was going to be !

The batteries actually lasted all night?!?!?

Quick, what firmware are you using?

EDIT: Oh, wait- I now see you didn't use 2 'on's... Ah well, I guess it was wishful thinking...

 

[DemonStar55]

mien hasn't crashed while booting yet

 

[Jae686]

I dont really bother much.

 

[Hanz™]

I am not bothered by it. I need my 20-second naps.

​

​

ya seriously. I just reach over to scratch my ass and all is well.

What is the approximate boot time for most GP2x users?

 

[nickspoon]

15-25 seconds here, more if it freezes

 

[rokdcasbah]

What is the approximate boot time for most GP2x users?

​

the boot is pretty painless.

 

[PSyMastR]

1.4 beta is a bit faster, about 15-20 seconds compared to my 1.2.1 at 30-35 seconds, also it never crashes at boot now.

 

[thetictacaddict]

I have firmware 1.1.0 and it boots in almost exactly 30 seconds whenever I've timed it.
