thanks

you can set your gamepark to boot right to windups and its much faster that way than going through the origional firmware then going into free launcher. also, it gets rid of the little animation when the gp boots. flashing the firmware wasent that big a deal to me ;) I did it the day I got my gamepark.
 
i did it..
mine boot's straight in to pacrom...it has a pc link built in..remember's last file loaded...you can set programme auto load..but woun't run commerical software...
(but as i use the multifirm version i can boot in the original firmware by holding select on turning the gp32 on)
if you are going to flash your firmware do it at your own risk and use fresh battery's when doing so....read the instructions
 
Just do it :)

I also did it the day I got my gp
Follow the instructions and you'll be fine

Just put in some new batteries first, the process takes about 20-30 seconds

For a developer MultiFW2 offers:
1) BIOSMON, which is called when GP32 should crash/reboot. BIOSMON contains basically
all the information where and why GP32 (or the program) crashed
2) Direct booting into PCLink, which allows e.g. running programs without writing them to
SMC -> accelerates development on hardware a lot
3) Includes support for Gdb-stub i.e. source level debugging of your programs over USB.

Could you point the way to instructions for flashing with the multi firmware? I've had my GP32 for a few months and would love to have it boot straight to Windups.

Thanks
