More photos of the factory and the GCW Zero going through Assembly. Also pictures of two boxes of the consoles we recieved already here. The count is twenty consoles per box two rows of ten per box.

 Sorry for the delay in updates been very sick with spring flu and getting GCW HQ  Articus talked about in his post on Dingoonity prepped for the next flash party.

This week I've been flashing solo because of being sick and not wanting anyone else to catch my germs and get this nasty flu also.

We should start confirming addresses this weekend for SE and shipping on Tuesday. We wil still flash all the KS models we can this weekend and addresses will be confirmed for those also once we get SE models shipped.

At 9:45PM the shipment was cleared from customs no movement as of yet but the shipment has cleared customs finally...   ;)

Next here is a video of some of the great things now working on the console. We also now have the video driver working in 16bpp which means when playing games they get 60fps on average now.

Now for video:

Consoles have hit customs and are in the clearing house as we speak from past experience they should be cleared Monday or Tuesday. Once cleared they usually take one to two days to arrive here according to what time of day they were cleared.

The developers think they have found the cause of the stutter in video and audio and are working diligently to resolve the issue. I will keep you posted with updates as I get them on this progress.

The video of a test kernel recognizing 512MB was one of the surprise videos a few others are still in development and will be shown also very soon. These new surprise will probably be after the units ship but it will be some exciting stuff.
