OF.bin or OF.mi4 bootloader question
« on: April 13, 2007, 11:29:39 PM »
I was looking at the bootloader code and I noticed that it tries to load OF.mi4 before it tries OF.bin.  I tried it and it loads the mi4 file just fine, although a little slower than the .bin file (or at least it seemed).  Is there any particular reason for using either format?

The .mi4 is encrypted, so that the bootloader has to decrypt it first. The .bin is unencrypted.
