English Amiga Board - View Single Post - FlashFloppy - new firmware for Gotek drives, open source

Bug report here:
With large number of files in a single directory, scrolling between files becomes slower and slower, as you advance listing through files.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a folder on your USB and put some 500+ ADF images into it. Plug it to Gotek and navigate to that new directory. Press and hold "right" button, so that Gotek starts srolling filenames on display at full speed. After a while, you will notice that scrolling speed drops down. Its becomming very apparent after some 300 files.

If you (like me in this case) have a single directory with all 5000 games sorted by name from A to Z and you somehow manago to navigate to files at the end of alphabet, Gotek becomes so irresponsive, that it takes him about 10 seconds just to change the filename on screen after you click left or right button once.
This behavior is the same with 0.9.7a and 0.9.11a firmware. Also no FF.CFG seems to affect this in a positive manner, it can even be reproduced on newly formated pendrive without FF.CFG on it.
Is this something you could possibly fix, please?
