Both our units take 26 seconds to boot up (mine @ 26.1 seconds, my wife's at 26.2), running FW 1.2.0

From the moment I flick the switch and power flows through its chips... 32 seconds with firmware 1.4.0. Unlike most people here I actually have patience... and thought for the longest time it was like 15 seconds =p

26 for me and thats with cut down boot scripts on 1.4...

Mark

well
I have something around 28 secounds with fw 1.2.0

I got one for 18 seconds and another 26 seconds. Running version 1.1.0.

Wow. Mine boots up in 27.32 seconds. But it varies. Sometimes it boots in 20, sometimes near 30. What would cause this variation, I wonder? Anyway, has anyone noticed if the new firmware affects bootup time? That's probably one of the main reasons I'm sticking with 1.2.1 for now.

But, like Shikaku, I thought it was less than 20 seconds for the first 20 times I booted it up. I must be one of the patient ones as well..

About 26 seconds from the moment i switch the power switch on.

26.03 seconds, from the moment the power switch moves on.
Using the 1.1.0 firmware..

what are the cut down boot scripts? First edition gp2x 41 second boot time

please mention whether you got a first edition unit or not. I got a first edition and it takes 40 secs

I have a first edition unit on 1.2.1 and it takes 36 seconds, but sometimes it can be quicker?
But whats a few seconds when it gives us hours of fun eh!

Approximately 34 seconds booting time with 1.4 firmware patch on a "second-edition" GP2X.

Always 22 seconds. I've timed it repeatedly, and on multiple firmwares.

29 seconds with 1.2.1
I always boot without SD card now because it never freezes with the card out. *WHEN* it works with the card in, it takes about the same time.

I could swear it was faster when I first got it though??

Do I have to remove them all again now that I have flashed to 1.4?

~23 seconds. First Edition 1.1.0 firmware

~34s 1.4.0 "second" edition.

It's actually a little slower than it was with 1.2.1 and there are a couple of seconds of black screen just before the menu pops up now too.

On the plus side, the battery light works and it doesn't crash on bootup any more

33 seconds. First edition. 1.4.0 f/w.

Often gets "stuck" on the green screen, though.

never freezes for me with the new fw 1.4.0. yay.

I get around 24 seconds boot up time. Pretty decent if you ask me

29 seconds, with fresh batteries 2500 and 2000, with or without SD card.
1.2.1 "second" edition

27 seconds, "first" edition, 1.4.0 (I love 1.4.0 btw, picture viewer rocks now!)

what the heck..increased boot time with the new firmware? were meant to be cutting it down to 7 seconds...

Umm, where are you getting evidence for that? Evidence seems to show exactly equivalent boot time.

31secs from power on, f/w 1.2.1, 2nd edition gp2x

32 seconds fw 1.2.1 and after upgrading, 32 seconds fw 1.4.0

Does mine count

Yes it does, and we are all looking forward to similar booting times.

theoddbot: hahaha. Now to make it available for all.

Who said 7 seconds? theoddbot said he got it down to 12 seconds. But 7?!?

31 seconds, with firmware 1.2 and 1.4 (no, not at the same time!).

Okay, own up. Who has put 60 seconds and over? There are three votes for that.
Have you tried switching it on?
Was that timed or do you just feel like it is taking over 60 seconds?

Matt

Mine takes 00:01:03 to get to the menu from the time I switch it on. Timed with a stopwatch. First edition GP2Xv102.

Mine took about 28 second, second edition with 1.2.1 F/W.

But I don't really care so I'm happy!!!

Can I change my vote? My boot time is now 15.09 seconds from switch-flick to menu, thanks to theoddbot.

But its also read only. And I get a time like yours with no modifications My gp2x rocks
