I hope you didn't took the "too good to be true" as a criticism - it was only an
amazement mark!. BTW, is the 10x version a slow down of 100x one, or is it an
older, less optimized version? (once again, I'm not criticizing, I fairly well
understand that you want to retreive some benefit for your work that must have
been daunting!)

And what about size of your replacement firmware versus regular LEGO one?
What about 32bits/floating point support size? Is it optional?

I'm not sure that I can test it soon, but I'm definitely interested to try!
Thanks again for your efforts,
