Is it possible to use digital camera memory cards for your Gp 32??
cause then I could put in cards of 512 mb
 
and even if they did, they wouldn't work anyway (search to find out why, I'm tired of typing the reasons).
 
It wouldnt be possible, the way that the GP32 reads the SMC's, sectors, and whatnot.
The best, and most possible, idea, is:

Memory Cards for PSX, N64, GC, DC, etc.. all use similar technology. If you were to create a SMC that had a 4x selector that allowed you to swap between 4 (or more) 128 MB SMC's, that would be possible and probably work, As the GP32 would _only_ see a 128 SMC (although you would technically have 4 or more in one)
 
That's how 128mb SMCs work, they are four 32mb chips inside one casing. Software supporting them has to know this and respond approriately (yes, 64mb one are two stuck together).

Would be nice though to get some kind of blank card with just a connector on the end for emulating a SMC, would could then have 512mb by using a 4-way switch, the switch being overridable in software, so if someone did there own divx decoder & viewer, the result could be the possibility of watching 500mb DIVX's :)

Thats basically what I just said! :)

It would be nice, and it would be entirely possible (maybe not the "software detecting" part, that might be pushing it, but the rest is entirely possible)

hmm if i remember right the gp32 can read "any" card size hardware side, you "only" have to modify bios and the sdk drivers.

ps: that mass storage thingee is allready pickd up and its not impossible.
 
If there was a way of extending the pins from the smc out of the gp32, then I wouldn't mind having a crack at this myself. Microdrive anyone ? :)
 
kknd_cf - only one 128. I would get another, but I havent got the money ATM. Out of interest, what does your nickname actually mean, if anything?

and, so I don't have to start multiple posts - :p...

akuma - I made the music for the games, but how long do you want it (cropping etc)

New emoticon... dude! gp32_console
 
if you actually make a bigger memory thing, it either needs to run on the GP32 3.3v or have a battery of it's own, if the battery of it's own thing, then you need to make a bios that can handle it, or handle it and 128mb cards
Basically the same thing as the 32mb ram upgrade :D
