Quite a jump from 1.2.1. Interestingly the boot screen still says 1.2.1, but info says 1.4.0 and I’ll believe it.
The file manager ("Explorer") has had an upgrade (it’s now actually useful), and either because I reformatted my RS-MMC card* or due to the new firmware it’s picking up my card nearly every time now. Also, it’s being picked up correctly in Windows as a USB drive/memory card. Good stuff. I like it when things get fixed quickly.
The only downside so far is that reinserting the card does not trigger a rescanning of its contents, so any new application won’t show up.
I’m well impressed with some of the native games available for the GP2X. Check out Kobo Deluxe and Noiz2sa for starters.
* Instead of Format… from Explorer I used Disk Management and formatted as FAT32 with 512B cluster size.
