Can I Use A 256mb Smc?

[mr twit]

No you can't, GP32 can only use Smartmedia Cards that are 3.3v, and anything above 128Mb is 5v. Also, the bios probably couldn't read from anything higher than 128Mb anyway.

Wat da hell, what happened to the first question.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

this is the FAQS section.. get with the times http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=13299

I added your other question.

Btw, for cleanup purposes I will be deleting posts like mine that deal with the 'administration' of the FAQ. Possibly a new thread could be created for it. This is just to make it friendlier for visitors and less cluttered for regulars

 

[Jr2swiss]

oooooooooooooo now i understand, twit asked the question then answered it, nice move.

 

[finty]

I also suggest putting the SMC to [Insert media here] question in here.

I.E: Will the SMC to XD converter work?

 

[Drumaster]

to smc converter works yes.

 

[finty]

to smc converter works yes.

It does? Well it doesn't work over 128Mb does it?

 

[mattmagoo]

to smc converter works yes.

It does? Well it doesn't work over 128Mb does it?

i think he is joking because u said XD to SMC not SMC to XD

Oh, my bad.

 

[Apeiron]

Maybe you should add the difference of a SMC and a SD card. I got a little confused at first but thats the idiot who runs the local Computer shop's fault.

No I can assure you I didn't joke.

With this adapter you can put over 128 MO on your GP32 and it works well but the best is the compact flash adapter because compact flash cards are much less expensive.

 

[finty]

But can the gp32 actually read the data that goes over the 128MB limit?

EDIT: Where can I buy a converter?

 

[Squidge]

The GP32 can not read any cards over 128mb, regardless of whether through a converter or "virgin".

 

[finty]

Thats what I thought.

I can't find them now but there are *some* SMC cards that are 3.3v, bt as you say still won't work.
