I need some information about european firmware. Has any1 tried to flash his GP32 with it? I need some features comparing to the old one.
Please dont write about multifirmware at all. I just need features list of european firmware compared to the old one :) Thanks in advance.

The new beta euro bios available on gamepark korean site is pretty good.
You can't turn on your gp32 start gpmanager then goto pc-link on gp32 though it doesn't work ;S You have to either turn on the gp32 and goto pc-link before starting gpmanager or start the gp32 after gpmanager tells you to turn on the gp32 and turn it to pc-link
The launcher is built right in and very convenient except it doesn't see multiples of the same program (same title in fxe but actual file name is different) one of them gets dropped.

Oh, no mp3 player built in and the free gpcinema works with it, not like the old freelauncher

The launcher menu is really cool actually how it shows the icons in rows on the top and bottom and has the name in the middle and it scrolls down pages to show all the files.

Other than that I'm not really sure.

Oh, right Pinball Dreams loads ALOT quicker!
 
Only other thing I can really add to that is that it's a bit quicker to boot up as there's no bouncy animation and the interface is a lot cleaner than the original pink one with the 3 rotating icons.

You also have the ability to select language (there's about 6 supported). I use it as my only firmware and have no problems with it (both for running progs and checking out the stuff I'm writing myself)

1. The new firmware looks kinda cooler.

2. Faster booting, no need to start Eurolauncher anymore.

3. Official MP3-player is gone. No problem, enough good music players =)

4. More language support. Even Dutch for me B)
 
A good point is that you can hold the down-pad tos keep scrolling through the files within the launcher.

So you dont have to keep pushing down when have many emu's (as i do! B) )
