you have to get free-launcher installed again.

:rolleyes: </Silently screams/>

**Cough**, All better now.

Ok, How did you format the SMC ?.

How many SMC`s do you have ?.

Do you have access to a windows 98 machine/computer ?.

Do you have an SMC card reader ?.

Can i scream again ?.

EDIT:
@Drak, He doesn`t need freelauncher, Blu and Blu+ come with the firmware already flashed, So freelauncher is not needed.

Did u format it with windows or gplink, cause if u did it with windows make sure it is FAT not FAT32

When I first got my GP32 I made the mistake or formating it in Windows XP. Luckly I backed up the Free Launcher that came on the SMC at the time.

Since I had the standard frimware I had to go to one of my buddies who had the firmware built int where you can format the SMC and thenI copied the Free launcher back and all was good.

Mine didn't come with the USB cable as I belive you can format it properly as well but I use a SMC card read so i wouldn't know.

I would advise flashing to Subman's firmware as it has a launcher built in and you can format cards and delet files, browse etc.

Hope this helps...

You can also format your SMC using Windows 2000 (worked for me). I also formatted mine in XP and learnt the lesson the hard way :lol:.

[saintdragon]

well ok your most probable using windows xp or 2000 or something i dont know but if you are then this is what i done when i had this problem....

i borrowed my friends smc...(you may need to buy one in your case...) and i made all the gp32 files on it e.g. GPMM, GPSYS ect ect( remember to make all the files with correct name or it may not work!!!!) then you put a slubman launcher on it on the smc that is working and then you put the smc in the gp32 with the launcher then you run it up(.fxe)then after you pop out the smc and put in the other smc in.(the one that is not working) then you press format and choose the fast option then after that hopefully it will work....

this is the info passed on to me by trooper....

YOU WILL NEED A CARD READER!!!!!!!!

 

[GA01]

Connect your card reader to a Windows 2000 PC and format using FAT. I had the exact errors when I formatted my SMC in XP. Basically, your GP32 can't read the file system (FAT32) on your SMC.

 

[lizard_king]

dosent matter every1 i sussed it out, i just uped the gp32 launcher on the free dvd i got with it all sorted + now i know wot to do when i get a new smc

thanks for all the help u guys

lizard king

ps. can any1 help get past the stupid questions on monkey island?

 

[Blah]

Get another smc. Put Slubman Launcher (get it here) on there and use its format function (switch out the smcs, press format, wait).

Oh and to change the language press select.

 

[Drag]

On mine, if the smc isn't readable, the PC-Link window says "BLAH! THIS SMC SUCKS! PRESS SELECT TO RECOVER" or something along those lines. ^_^

It's the original Korean firmware, but I don't think the European one would remove that feature.

If you mean the copy protection, I'm pretty sure any answer should work. ScummVM ignores it.

 

[lizard_king]

ok i can just answer any old answer to the question but how? do i need a keyboard or something or do i just have to change the scumm settings? st wont do anything @ all!

When the copy protection text box appears for you to enter the answer, Just hold the right shoulder button and push randomly up, down, left and right on the joystick, Thats it.
