512MB on your GP32 (for a price)


Rabel1

Still Fresh
You can now use XD Picture Card media with your GP32 using this adapter from Atech. The adapter costs $15-$30. It is available at Fry's electronics in the U.S. for $15 or via their web page (http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3707636) for $20. The manufacturer's web page is www.atechflash.com.

Here is a link to a picture:

XD Picture Card media runs about $200 for 512MB or $104 for 256MB. Also available in 128MB, 64MB, 32MB.

I have not tried this yet. Anyone care to be the first? Will the GPLink software even let you format 512MB?

hmm sounds very intresting, but perhaps you need a gpbios and gpupdate to get this work, are you sure this is a smc 3v adapter, if yew, it should work...
Thanks for the info, try to look if i can get one of these adapters...
but still this cards are very expensive... @ ebay 190€ for a 512 card...
thats a flu unit :D
bye


PS:
here is another picture of it:

Good idea, but as Sonic-NKT said, it must be 3.3V or it wont work. I hope someone can try it out, but it is very expensive. :(
 
Thi has been tried before, and didn't work, IIRC, although that may have been a differend XD->SMC adapter; it only officially supported up to 128meg SMC sizes...
 
the adapter i found at ebay was for upto 512... but perhaps the gp32 goes only (by bios) upto 128, so we need a modicated bios...
but not sure about this :D
this thing is mainly for using new xd cards on an old cardreader, but some card readers need update to use this big cards... perhaps the same on gp32.


PS: but im more intrsted in modifcation of the bios to get more ram to work than this... just want to see neogeo :D

You could Buy Ten (Or more) 128MB SMC's for the price of that 512MB Card (SMC costing £17) :D B) :blink: :ph34r: <_<
 
:P Ah now this would be a worthwhile investment i rekon. 512 megs would leave loooads of space for a film or 2 along with a load of emus and games. Although steve-o has a good point that you could just buy a load of smcs... If david blaine had one of these things and a gp he could have watched a different simpsons episode everyday he was in his box!

it's a cool idea, but just too damn expensive. as steve-o said, you can buy a lot of normal 128 mb smc cards for the same money..
