OF.bin or OF.mi4 bootloader question

(1/1)

digerati1338:
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?

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