Firmware 1.2.0


hmm - just run the update - it now says 1.2.0 on the green screen but my sd card is now reading as blank.

it isnt.

anyone else had a go yet?

am gonna try another sd card.

{edit} sd card was an integral 1gb
 
hmm - picks up my high speed integral 1gb card fine....

oh well, sorry Cannon S2 IS, time for a little sd card trade ;-)

btw, the picture viewer just showed a 2592x1944 photo for me - 5 megapixel!

woohoo! thanks GPH
 
Opposite problem to deepmenace - just ran it for larfs, but the firmware screen hasn't chnaged. Everything else is hunky-dory except the video player is messed up. Most puzzling.
 
I'm waiting for an option that allows me to skip Linux, to run application directly on hardware, + avoiding the 30" load time: a sort of multiboot. I wonder how the developers can bear the loading times...

Damn Linux...

Well, the new features in fw1.2.0 are very good :)
 
Tried the firmware from the DJWillis link, seemed to start ignoring my SD card from the menus. Popped the older firmware back on quick as a flash and all is well again. Phew! I would wait for a bit on this one, chaps and chapesses.
 
worked for mine, new picture viewer is much improved.
no probs accessing my sd card either

using a play.com branded 512 sd card (tis actually a toshiba card with a play sticker on it)
 
As Woogal says community SDL’s have there roots in the GPH hacks but as time goes on the differences are getting bigger and bigger (1.2.9 and the hardware support marks some very big changes).
I'm making an assumption here, but wouldn't GPH have modified their version of SDL to get TV out working with all apps and will install those SDL libs during the upgrade? And the SDL built from the source that GPH supplied (in the Open2x project) won't have those changes yet?

Not that I use SDL anyways. Just a little confused by the several different versions of libraries floating around already. :huh:

Works great here, my 1GB sandisk card is read fine, the picture viewer is much nicer, and the menu is much easier to navigate now!

so this tv-out thing for the emulators....

I take it that this something that is going to have to be coded into the emulators themselves?

i.e. the function is now available for the devs to utilise in future releases?
 
Aaah I think i figured out my problem, I upgraded the firmware with a custom theme applied. Even when I changed it to default the patch didnt work. However, when I changed it to default then upgraded the firmware again the patch worked fine.

As far as I can tell, it will have to be implemented into the emulators themselves (hence the SDL discussion).
