Broken SMC:((

[smash]

im convinced its the smc slot, frodo's debug console said error reading/wrighting to the smc, thats what the problem is.

Try with an official GP 32 game, and you will see if the problem comes from your GP or your SMC

Wait a sec, what's actually the problem? What part of the system is complaining? Since you apparently could load Frodo, the SMC is at least somehow working. That doesn't sound like the totally-dead-SMC problem I was aiming at...

I have a similar sort of problem with a certain SMC card. I mention it in this thread. But, in a bit more detail:

I have 2 SMCs right now (others are shipping). One is a 32MB and the other is 64MB. The 32MB is the one I initially tried in the GP32 and it is working great. I can use PCLink to copy over files. However, the 64MB seems to fail on format via PCLink. So, I format it in my SMC writer/reader, copy from my 32MB SMC to the 64MB SMC and the GP32 can play all the files on the 64MB SMC. However, PCLink still refuses to see it as a working SMC card.

I do not know the brand of either of my SMC cards. They are old ones I have had using with my RIO500 player. The ones on order are 128MB Samsung SMCs so I'll be experimenting with those and my 32MB SMC. Perhaps the 64MB is a cheapass "not Samsung quality" brand.

Right now I am afraid to use my writer to copy files to the 32MB SMC in case something goes oddly wrong and PCLink no longer sees it as a valid SMC card.
