Finally got my A04-A05 patch cd yesterday, ran it up this morning...and it is sweet. I'll bench it when I can, but I noticed a real speed increase. Now that I have a good working product, I just wanted to say that I am proud of Dell for actually fixing the issue. Not just a halfway fix, but an honest to God flash the whole thing permanently fix. And now, seeing the finished product, I see why I bought a Dell.

amen

woohoo...a positive post! it's all good when it works. keep us updated!

Another happy Dell customer/WM 2003 A05 updgrader..

SNES emulation at full speed (tried Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 3 and Zelda: A link to the past), GBA Mario Kart runs at 50-60/60.

AXIM ROCKS!

Dammy,

What emulator do you use, and how accurate is the emulation?

Using PocketSNES for SNES and Morphgear for everything else.. Emulation is pretty good
