DC Digital takes very long to display any image when it can't connect to the wifi network #17

If you define a wifi network on DC Digital and it can't connect to it somehow (happens a lot with the ESP8266 wifi stack and ASUS routers as threre is a known incompatibility issue), the DC Digital takes very long (about a full minute) to display any image when it can't connect to the wifi network when cold booting the Dreamcast.

New version 4.9 initialises the WiFi connection asynchronously, so it should not slow down the startup sequence. If you want to test the new firmware, configure develop as firmware version during web console setup (6/19: Firmware Version)

Thanks, I updated it, I will see how it goes (it currently connects fine as I rebooted the router minutes ago)

Ok, I can say that this does work as intended, in fact it makes cold booting slightly faster (about 2 seconds faster even when wifi connects fine) overall.
