Has Anyone Tried Windups 2.0 ?

[TelcoLou]

I just found it here:

Windups 2.0 beta

I won't be able to install it until tomorrow. Has anyone tried it ? Is it great? Good? Mediocre?

Thanks.

This was never announced so no....

Its not a massive step over Windups 1.0 . The only difference is theres an option to view all the apps in GPMM in a list or have the "classic" desktop. Stick with v1.0

I'm sure this was announced ages ago, I tried it a while back but to be honest didn't like the startup screen as it kind of crushes any customised appearance you give your desktop. That's the point of Windups to me, a custom desktop when you switch on the GP32, so I decided to stick with v1 as part of Aquafish's Firmware.

Old, but I like 1.0 better, 2.0 standard boots with the icons instead of the "normal" windups.

Yeah that was really silly.

And there are no other changes to 1.0, so 1.0 is waaayyyyy better.

Yeah, it sucks ass :lol:

Interesting side note: It can launch Fenix games, something 1.0 can not (this may be interesting to developers ... maybe not)

Edit: Actually, Windups 1.0 can launch SmashGP also. Yes, I'm an idiot

Nope. It sucks.

Take it easy mate... I'm sure you could email the author and tell him why you prefer his older release. No need to slag it off on a public forum in that way.

Anything Deved for the GP32 would be a result of someones hard work and doesnt deserve that kind of comment.

You're right. I'm sorry.
