I bought Pinball Dreams and Moviepark from JoyGP. Downloading and installing were no problem. But - they don't start. They appear in the games list, but I can't start them. I tried to press every button, but they don't want to ;)
Yes, it looks like i'm using warez, but I really bought them from JoyGP. I mailed Entware, but they say that my registration is ok.
I'm using Multifirmware. Do I really have to flash the original firmware back? And where can I get it?
 
try another smc, or check for errors, REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM GAMES MENu, enter games menu, let it scan the smc for errors.

EDIT: sorry, pressed caps in a failure :(

EDIT2: also, try installing with PC-Link v1.3 or the new PC-Link.
 
I downloaded it again and installed it on a different SMC - still no effect :(

Where can I get the original firmware?

Switch your GP32 off, Then press and hold the select button and switch your GP32 back on.

Push up on the joypad to select the first option, GP`s fw157e++

That takes you back to the original firmware without the startup animation and irritating jingle.

Hope this helps, It should get your games working.

It did for me.

I know that - and it's the same in the official Firmware, Pacrom and Windups :(

That's strange...
try installing it using the official firmware.

I know for sure that most commercial games (at least Pinball Dreams and Mill, as I own both of them) don't run with PacRom or Windups, only with the original Firmware (Mr. Spiv works when selecting official firmware, I'm using that).

Do you have a card reader?
 
I'm currently also having a problem with Entware. I'm trying to buy Pinball Dreams and Dungeon and Guarder, but when I get past Payment Method and COnfirm pages, The Processing Order page freezes after the process graphic goes back and forth only once.

Any help here?
 
I got a mail from Entware - it seems that my registration is screwed.
I found some interesting thing about your GP.
Usually unique number of GP start with 5xxx, but your GP's number starts
with 3xx.
Please changing into official firmware and register your GP again.
After that, if you find message "GP changed" from [My JoyGP], let me
know by email.(In this case, your previous registration was in fault.)
Then I can fix your problem.
What do you think? Should I flash back to the official FW (and where can I get it?) or should I try it again with the official FW from Multifirmware?
