Ok, so to flash my firmware with the new european one, which file do I dl on the main page? Should I use the flasher that's on the main page or Mr.Spiv's? Also, so I download the binary file (the firmware, right?) and rename it to FW.bin for Mr. Spiv's right? Do I do the same for the other flasher?
 
You can use just the flasher to flash the bios officialy and don't void your warranty (if gamepark is still in a good enough state to fix the GP ;) ) or you can use the binary and darkfader's (not mr.spiv he didn't make one AFAIK) fw flasher.

Edit: AFAIK you don't need the bin in your dir to use the flasher, I think that the FW is embeded into it.

Ok, so all I do is DL the flasher on the front page and run it on my GP32?

this firmware is really class. I love it. It looks and sounds way better than the old one. The lack of an mp3 player is excusable, too, since we can use the updated one.
 
awesome firmware, finally sorted by alphabet, looks and feels great, no problems flashing to it
 
Wow...I just tried the launcher version, and it can run GPCinema. I wasn't expecting that. o_O Does it, and other commercial stuff, still work after flashing? If the answer is yes, then I'm all up in this biznatch :lol:
 
the flasher that comes it should verify if bios flash failed and try again..

and about voiding warranty.. i really doubt gamepark wouldn't fix your gp32 for you even if you used some "non-official" flasher..
as it takes few minutes of their time to flash new fw with jtag..

but i'll still wait for multifw3 before flashing anything else to my gp32 ;)
 
I flashed my firmware with the European one and I think its an excellent upgrade - so much easier, a lot more "adult" than the ping ping start up of the original firmware
 
I can't seem to download the files can someone email them to me please

sure....it's very nice and all but it is NOTHING compared to wind-ups. if wind-ups could load commercial programs (im really after it to load gpcinema) then it couldn't be touched. why would everyone want the same firmware when you can just use wind-ups and customize it. much faster as well in terms of starting up etc.
 
Jus curious, was this gonna be the final european firmware ? And if so.....is this 100% official shiznit :)
 
tis is great.

and shadow of chaos, remember to dump your fw before you do this, if you dump then you are able to switch back to the old, though i doubt that you'll do that :D
