PCLink and SMC Readers

[bulwer]

You lot are paying the price for being too helpful!!!

My PC seems to have a strange problem of plug and playing my USB devices everytime they are unplugged and plugged in again. This has caused problems when I've used my desk and monitor to build another PC - disconnecting and reconnecting my base unit (Whilst unlugged!) has meant that I've had to re-register XP.

I've just gone to install GPFM (Which works a treat for viewing the contents of the blast.d64's for Frodo - thanks Stickofjoy!) and it's taken me 5-10 minutes to get my USB link to the GP32 working again.

To make my life easier, is there anyway of installing fpk files directly to my SMC reader. I use the reader for everything else and it would help if I could remove the USB cable for good - one less cable to screw up XP registration.

I've had a cursory look at PC-Link's options but thought it best to ask before changing and screwing things up.

Thanks again for everyones help.

Hi, you can use FireFly's GP32 Package Extractor to extract fpk files to your harddisk. After that you can then just copy them to your SMC card using your reader. FireFly's GP32 page can be found here http://users.skynet.be/firefly/gp32/index.htm

Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a go.
