i'm pist off with the Amiga community at the moment. Its now degenerated to flame bait, and in fighting. I got me a GP32 and you guys seem to be having fun B) you seem to have the spirit the Amiga community once had :)

The GP32 is a fantastic exciting bit of kit... Something cool and new to learn about. Trouble is in work I'm mac based - and that Linker doesn't work with my version of OSX.... it reports that it cant open the USB port.... can anyone help? I dont want to flash the machine cos its kinda risky....

Thanks,

Bobsonsirjonny B)
 
Thanks, but i've been there - and still no joy. Besides I cant flash the GP32 without it being connected..... its a catch 22...

As for Mac's... well I've grown to vaguely like em since the arrival of OSX and a proper command line interface B) ....
 
Good to see someone else with a mac struggling to use it comfortable.
I assume from your message that you have got a GP32 and have it up and running.
If not the easiest thing to do is borow a friends pc for an hour and set it up that way.
Then if you are comfortable with Terminal windows you may be able to get the maclink to work which is available from thhe site in the utilities section.
Im not brilliant with my mac but i can generally get most things to work i managed to get edonkey set up using the terminal but maclink wasn't workiing for me so i bought a smc reader writer.
This works only problem with mine is that when i delete with the reader writer it just pretends to delete the fils and instead moves them to a hidden trashes file. The way around this is to get Comi 1.0 from the utilities page and delete on you GP32.

Their are ways around most prblems it just can take a bit of thought having a mac.

On the subject check out www.asar.com for their hogwasher newsreader the best one for the mac and if you check out the alt.binaries.emulators..... the gameboy and snes are both having floods so you can beef up you collection at the same time the best one is emulators.misc

good luck
