Cant upload to GP32 via PCLink

[Gunstar]

Just got my GP32 today and I been tearing my hair out trying to upload PCengine roms.

I have everything installed and ready inc the EMU and the freelauncher but PCLink will not let me transfer an files except MP3's or install GP32 specific files.

If I try to drag and rom files into the directory stated by the EMU I get a no entry Icon.

Any ideas?

Well, you have to clear i a little. What entry icon you expect ? Icon of emulator ? If you uploaded emulator to gpmm directory, an icon will show up. After that you have to launch emu and choose a game. There are no additional icons for roms/games from free launcher menu.

i think your trying to upload the roms with the file names too big ie
its just like old dos wont go above 8 characters for the file name and the extension must be 3 characters
something like this

outrun.pce which is only 6+3
if your trying
adventure island (j).pce which is 20+3
it wont work
it dosent like spaces either
so rename the rom to
adventis.pce
then try upload the rom should work fine
does for me
same applys for any file
even mp3`s

Nope the filenames are fine.

I managed this morning to upload the files to my digitial camera smart card and they all work fine on the GP32 but PClink still wont let me drag and drop files. It will let me upload MP3's via the MP3 basket option but I cannot drag and drop them.

When I mention an Icon I mean a Windows Icon to show that you cannot drap and drop files.

This must of happened to someone else, I need help!!!
