Newer Software??? 4.0???

[Blennidae]

First I'd like to thank Miscue for flashing guns at the CA AO day.

Now I don't know if its a "50x" improvement, but if someone got footage of USAF-Flyboys X mag, I think E/X mag owners are going to be pleasantly surprised. Owners of other e-guns are not going to be as happy.

Besides the personalized scrolling messages are just plain cool.

P.S. No issues so far for me Miscue, however my battery did die early on Sunday, so I didn't get a chance to really test much, sorry.

Well since we all know your not pulling that fast,I guess an illegal bounce setting is one of the features.

Besides that and a higher cap, anything else based on realistic performance gains?

I'm begining to smell the Hype machine getting warmed up,please say it aint so.

that's what I'm saying. I'm aware of your Q software.

My question is if both 3.2 and 4.0 have shot buffering and adjustable bounce settings,why will 4.0 be faster.Just interested in why,that's all.

Whoopsie. I edited your thread instead of hitting the quote button.

There are several things involved, but I'll try to summarize it. Out of all 3, 4.0 is the most efficiently, and IMO, intelligently written. 3.2 is very large for having limited features. If I remember, it was over 900 or so instructions. 4.00 with all of its features is roughly 10% bigger than 3.2. If I removed all the extra features 4.00 has and made it similar to 3.2, I estimate it would be 20-30% smaller roughly... the code is WAY tighter. Considering this, it does a much better, cleaner job of doing what it takes to fire a marker. Q1.1 was pretty good, but it was dropping shots at high speeds. SkyboySurfer (Las Vegas native) demonstrated the problem to me with Q1.1, and sure enough it was doing that on every marker if shot fast enough... very disappointing. Q1.1 IMO was better than 3.2, but it still sucked because I didn't write is as smart as I could have.

But, this complete revision seems to be on the mark... everything was done right, and how it should have been... and is working much better than the older software.

so what if you send your gun for the softare upgrade now ? what version will you get? i still have 1.37 i think, i wanted to get the new 3.2, but if the 4.0 is top of the line, i would want that.

Just make sure the program designer, and fellow moderator conspiricist, do not maliciously get ahold of your marker and flash 4.0 to it.....

Instead of it reading "low battery", like all other guns will...mine now reads, "army sucks"

HAHAHAHAHahahhahaaaa Totally one of a kind custom! Thanks Miscue! Thanks Tato!

[Miscue]

We just did the beta test at AO-Cali. I don't think a 4.x will be available until an official release... ETA unknown. We have some issues to resolve, and more field testing to do.

We thought you'd like that... Yours is the only one that does that! Personalized!

Damn, I should have told work to suck it and went to CA. I might not have had a job, but I want to see 4.0

Damn right! Battlestar Galactica started in 1978. Knight Rider in '82. So Galactica came first!

Besides...Cylons are way cooler than KITT. And the E/X-Mag display is red, just like the Cylons. KITT's 'eye' was yellow.

We noticed that at those speeds, the solenoid stutters and can't hang. So currently recommend a setting of 20.

We're working on it...

[DiRTyBuNNy]

yeah...and can anyone get me a patch cable by 4.0's release so I can start flashing boards in the southwest region?
