Gpcinema Problem

[X90PNI]

Are the AVI files supposed to be in a specific folder. I downloaded some samples as suggested, I read somewhere that they could go anywhere so I put them in GPMM along with the GPCinema FXE file.
When I start GPCinema it seems to load ok but I can't find the movie files.
.... and yes I did look around this site (and other sites) before posting this, but I do apologise if it's in the wrong section.

In the root directorie

gp:\\

or whatever it is make a folder called movies and put them in that.

 

[carlgeorge]

There should be a folder called MOVIES in the root directory (if the card was formatted using GP Link) put them in there.

However, you can put them anywhere on the card, the first screen on GPCinema is a file selector and you can browse for a file anywhere on the card. They don't have to go in the root directory, the above paragraph is just stating that you should already have a folder for movies and that is what I use.

I make a directory "Movies" in ETC. It worked well and your GP32 stays clean

 

[carlgeorge]

Did you unzip the avis? Just thought I would ask...

 

[X90PNI]

When GPCinema starts up it doesn't display any files or folders so I have no folder structure to navigate around.

Is that normal ?

 

[Vimacs]

you can put them anywere, and when you start gpcinema you should have a file browser on the left

I think you can not play zipped avi's using GP Cinema.

Got new firmware ?

Or else try to start GP Cinema using Windups.

@Kolkman,

That is what I meant, just asking if he is trying to use zips!!

X90PNI,

If you don't see a browser then the program isn't loading properly, try a different loader.

Sorry, i thought you was talking to me

Anyway, flash your gp32 with the new firmware or use windups to run gp cinema

Thanks for the responses, I can't keep up, but in answer to some of the questions ...

yes I have unzipped the files .

I haven't touched the firmware for a number of reasons, firstly everything is working fine, emulators, games, etc. so if it 'aint broke ..... Secondly I use a card reader and I've never been sure if flashing and stuff would be successful.

I bought my GP from Craig mid December 2004 if that's any help.

Have you tried Windups or the new Firmware ?

I obviously didn't buy my GP from Craig mid December '2004' !

This free gp cinema seems very buggy to me.

no its not. its one of the easiest thing to use. even easier now its an fxe and you can load it from wind ups. you are annoying

 

[woogal]

If gpcinema won't work in pacrom or freelauncher, try this version (compressed with b2fxec so it's 128K instead of 353K)
http://gp32.sector808.org/gpcine.fxe
It's might not fix anything for you, but it's worked for at least one person.

I maybe know your problem X90PNI.
You said you don't see any avi file in your GP Cinema browser, don't you?
Do you see "..." because by default GP Cinema browser is here, so double click on "..." to go out and you'll see your folder with your avi file and it should be run ok.

I hope it's your problem.

 

[sam fisher]

It is buggy.
Some people can't run it in free launcher and other things and even I have some problems with the free one!!!!!!!
