2:reinstall the drivers and make sure it completes correctly this time. You should uninstall the old driver first and then remove the inf file from the inf directory (otherwise it will keep installing the old one). Last but not least, are you sure the cable is not damaged? I'm pretty sure that is a standard usb connector on the gp32.

You can always put the smart media card on a smart media reader and install free launcher that way. There is an unencrypted free launcher on this website and you can put free loader and software and roms and such on the card with the card reader. It is by no means useless.

unzip the files and right click on the inf file and choose install, then reboot, then plug in the gp32.renejr902 said:how can i install the driver ( gp32usb.inf and gp32usb.sys ) without connecting the gp32 in winxp ?
i have these 2 drivers form fly guy : gp32usb_2003ddk_5_2_3790_0.zip and gp32usb_xpddk_5_1_2600_0.zip
If the above fails, just use a card reader/writer.

I`ve never needed to use it, As my GP32`s all run a custom firmware. So not sure what to do with it as the readme in the zip file (is in english) but was written by the dev who is spanish, So the instructions are not that clear.

I downloaded this and checked it out, and unfortunately, you have to connect your gp32 to your computer to encrypt it. Have you tried this program?
I also understand that there is a cracked version of freelauncher floating around and I'm sure somebody on this site has it. As a matter of fact, I think it should be put in the gp32 download section because a gp32 is useless without the freelauncher with the stock firmware.
However, don't dispair, you can also update the firmware to one of the many freely available that have built in launchers and from what I've read, you don't need freelauncher to update the firmware. This is probably the best solution because the homebrewn firmware are all much better than freelauncher or the built-in firmware.
I searched on google about updating the firmware on a gp32 and it brought up a gp2x (which starts automatically) and I didn't notice is was for gp2x. Sorry for the bum info. Also, the freelauncher is not tied to the smc card because I move the same copy from card to card (but always using it on the same machine). I am pretty sure that gp encryption was broken because there are cracked versions of the commercial games around. I downloaded them quite a while ago and they are on another hard disk, I might have a copy of them and freeloader might be with them. But at this point, maybe some nice person with a jtag can upgrade the firmware for you. You may want to try installing the inf file again, maybe all hope is not lost for your doing it yourself, assuming the connector is good which listening to the description of what is happening when you plug in the gp32, sounds like it is.mrsnature said:Please stop posting the same problem in multiple threads, it makes it very hard to keep track of!
I thought that the 'cracked' freelauncher that people referred to, IS the one in the archive. The crack is the part that encodes it for any individual GP32/SMC, not the ability to run on all GP32s.
I guess the firmware checks that the freelauncher is encoded for the specific GP32/SMC it is being run on.
I don't believe there is a way of updating the firmware without freelauncher, as freelauncher is needed to run the update program.
Simply installing freelauncher on another GP32 and copying the files across won't work (it'll be encoded for the wrong unit)
I'm not sure of a way of encoded freelauncher to a specific SMC using a card reader, as you rightly said, the freelauncher crack requires that the GP32 is connected via usb.
I'm not sure how to get the GP32s PUID, but if you can get it, then you may be able to use #GP32 or #GP32dev on Efnet: there used to be a script to generate a freelauncher encrypted to your PUID - you'll have to look into it.
I think the best idea, still, is send somebody your SMC to encode a freelauncher onto it, using their GP32.
I'm pretty sure the tool on the archive allows you to either encode freelauncher to the GP32 OR the SMC. Commercial games that were sold on SMCs were encoded to the SMC, whereas their downloadable counterparts were encoded to the specific GP32.christo930 said:Also, the freelauncher is not tied to the smc card because I move the same copy from card to card (but always using it on the same machine).
Agreed, the GP32 was notorious for not connecting well, so worth really trying to sort out the drivers -christo930 said:You may want to try installing the inf file again, maybe all hope is not lost for your doing it yourself, assuming the connector is good which listening to the description of what is happening when you plug in the gp32, sounds like it is.
