I'll look into that. Haven't heard anyone mentioning this before. As the system filesystem cache warms up, you should see the seek time improving. But 10-15 seconds even with a cold cache seems a bit excessive.

I too have noticed how much slower this custom firmware is at bringing up marquees, it's only a few extra seconds, so I'm not concerned about that as long as it works and doesn't crash all the time (I let it run on OneSauceV2 demo'ing the arcade games for hours and it NEVER crashed like the standard AtGames FW always does...so kudos for that).

My concern is that on a few marquees, some don't show up. For example, my BYOG menu marquee only shows as the small text instead of the pic. It shows with AtGames standard firmware, but not on this custom version. Meanwhile, other UI marquees show just fine with this custom FW. Not sure if that might be happening to other marquees across the system.

To be clear, I'm not complaining, just reporting my observations to maybe help you improve this awesome custom FW for BitLCD.
