I Have Smc Reader, Need Help Setting Gp32 Up!


You should just be able to plug in the SMC reader, and put your SMC in it.
If you have windows 98se or earlier you might have to download drivers, check the manual that came with the SMC Reader
You SMC Reader will be accessed as a "removeable media drive" in your "my computer"

If you have linux, besure you have 2.6.5 it likes USB devices better than 2.4 and mount /dev/sda1 (or similar depending on your hardware and os setup)

Then create the directory structure you need
GAMES
GPMM
GPSYS
GPETC

put all your games in GPMM and follow any additional instructions each game will give you in a text file

If you havent used your GP32 before, you are going to have to hook it up to your PC via the USB link and get it registered and freelauncher on it (unless you purchased one where this has been done for you).
 
If you don't know how to find out, if you got the selection screen at startup it's already flashed. If you get the Logo at startup and then use select to change the function it's not. B)
 
I cannot hook the gp32 to my computer, i have tried it over and over and it wont work so i got this reader. I downloaded the supposed files from irc and still cant get this thing to work. I have not been able to freelauncher otherwise though i did get my gp32 reigstered though.
 
Yes I am using XP, just got everything to download but it wont let me install the damn drivers now. Problem is that I cant get the damn pc link to work. I can get this thing registered but cannot get it to work otherwise.
 
Download the driver here and the guide is here. Hope this helps. Remember after installing the drivers:
1. Plug in GP.
2. Turn on GP.
3. Put GP in PCLINK mode
4. Run PCLink
5. Hit OK in Pclink on PC
 
freelauncher and pc-link is the biggest f**king hassle about using a GP32... gamepark sucks for making us all go through this s**t... sorry i can't help i'm just empathising with you :S
 
ooh, the dreaded drivers issue. i had weeks of trouble. once you get the driver to work just once you will be glad you have the smc writer.i had problems with the drivers everytime i rebooted my pc so i could barely ever get the link to work. but you need to get the pc link to work because you need to install freelauncher from the pc link.
