I have downloaded the make smc128 thing but it just opens the dos thingy for a second and closes and does nothing?
How do I make one please as I am trying to makemyself a firmware and need to test. And I want to experiment and take screen shots. Fast and swift help would be appecieated.
 
If you would have run that DOS program in a DOS BOX, you would have seen how to use it. When you provoide no arguments to a dos program, most of which require arguments to be used, they usually spit out a list of available arguments and the proper useage, try this with the program you downloaded to make the smc.

Or for a quick reference.
make sure you have makesmc.exe and gps.exe in the same directory and simply open a dos box (or create a batch file) to do the following:

makesmc c:\gp32\gp\ c:\gp32\mysmc.smc
GPS -r SMC.GPM -w mysmc.smc

now the arguments for makesmc is:

makesmc <PathToFiles> <DestinationSMC>

basically what you do is create a folder, in my case called GP and create all the nessisary folders within those, and place all the files you want in your SMC in those as well, and then you run the batch file, 2 out of 3 times it will error and crash though, so keep trying.rer
