Is This Mega2560+Wifi Board Broken, Or Do I Miss Something?

I see.

Due to what you said, I tried now with v1.6.2...

It worked on the first time..
(and with QIO)

BTW,
I used the files in the 1024+1024 folder, and of course chose --flash_size 4MB-c1.
Technically I can also use the files in the 512+512 folder, and choose --flash_size 4MB without -C1.

I assume both would work,
so what would be better?
