About the SMC browser

The SMC Browser is a tool which allows to manage the contents of a SmartMedia Card (SMC)  inserted in a GP32 console which is connected to the computer using a USB cable, and which is also in PC-Link mode. You can navigate through the card directories, as well as adding files from your computer to the card, create new directories, and also deleting files and directories in the card. There is also de possibility of copying files from the card to the computer.

iGP32 uses internally a command line utility,
Mr Spiv's, maclink, which allow to communicate a Macintosh Computer with a GP32 console, through a USB cable.

Depending on the USB port the cable is connected, Mac OS version and GP32 firmware version, there are times when maclink does not work properly. When this happens, it is possible that iGP32 stops responding, and even that the USB port stops working until the Mac is restarted.

If you find out that the SMC Browser fails frequently, perhaps you should consider the possibility of using an alternate method, like  installing PHODrive in the console, or buying a SmartMedia Card reader device.
