Aquafish Firmware Frying Usb Hub

[Magellan]

I just flashed with the new Aquafish, and now when I plug the GP32 into my USB hub, the lights go haywire, and I get a mesage about a power surge to the hub. No problem before. When I unplug the cable, the end plugged into the GP32 is hot to the touch.

 

[nerd of nerds]

:blink: HOLY HELL, umm, don't use the usb hub, if you have another usb port on ur compy then use that... never heard of this prob b4...

wierd...

is your gp32 ok?!

 

[Magellan]

Yes, the GP32 is fine, and other stuff on the hub is fine. I will try plugging directly into a port.

Amazing how often I find reaons to be very glad I have a card reader. :blink:

 

[jlebrech]

make sure u turn on your gp32 and wait till the menu is up b4 plugging in the usb wire

Well, I use Windows 98 in a Pentium IV machine, and except original firmware and PacRom 3.1 I got lot of USB errors when plugin GP32 to the computer with a different firmware. I even have tried to do Wind-ups firmware versions and tested them, but like other firmwares (including Aquafish and Multifirmware) they fail to work properly, at least in my computer. Some other people using Windows XP seems to be happy and don't have my problems, but...

since M$ stopped supporting it, win98 was dead for me.

as write in the gamepark's site:

>If you want stable version. please wait.
using the multifw v3.0 is safer!!! your problem has maybe come from the new firmware in beta version(if you use the aquamultifw v3.1)...

just use squidge's gpdrive to transfer files

 

[Magellan]

If I have a card reader, do I even need to use the USB connection for anything? And where can I get GPDrive?

 

[divadsci]

the beta testing forum. it only definately works with win XP (doesnt work with win 2k >)

 

[lizard808uk]

Card readers are the best for large files. (I do alot of transferring of movies etc..) Defintely recommended. You won't use the GP32 USB ever again....
