Ok, i flashed this new firmware because i heard of some rumours that this fw is faster on some things.
Now i ran on os9xgp F-Zero at the following settings:
156Mhz
Sound OFF
Show FPS ON
Video mode 8bpp
Video Sync OFF
Gamma 6
Frameskip 0
Fast Sprites OFF
CPU Cycle 0
Sprites, HDMA, IRQ, BG 0+1+2+3 ON
Transparency Hack 0

My result was playable average 21-23 FPS ! Frameskip 0!

Can anyone, without the new EU FW but with other Stuff like Aquas MFW or MFW2 etc. test the game on os9xgp exactly with the same settings ? So we could figure out if it is faster....
 
i'll flash it in a minute. want to see if gpquake runs faster ;)
i got the feeling gpquake runs a bit better. gpspout imho runs a bit smoother.
but i don't like how long it takes until i can start a game.

howerver i think i'll keep it. the speed increase is worth more than the boot time.
 
The smc reading is really faster ... just try to load some game ... i dont notice any other big improvement ... but ...

hmm, so no improvement... guess I'll flash back soon. i also dont like the wait time till i launch a app..
however, gotta try Yeti 3D first before flashing back.... since gpmoh (medal of honor) relies on that engine, so we'll see if the authors only talked shit :)
 
I found a DEFINATE improvement in little john playing a hacked SMB game...
 
ugh.. tempted to flash... NO, will wait till its DEFFINATE (ie there is a reason for the speed boost) I just love the conveinience of Pacrom... maybe someone could make a mfw with this bios?

I thought someone already did? But I could be wrong, I don't pay much attention to firmware news TBH...

NO

couse all compiled programms are statically linked to their SDK files.
Or to say it simple, the FW in the GP32, only loads the Emulator, the Emulator.fxe
does not work together with the Firmware.
