Problem with games for Frodo (C64)

[LeeT]

My problem is......I have a LOT of C64 game files (.d64 and .t64). However I cannot play them on the GP32 because the filenames in most of them are way over eight characters long.

Is there any other way to copy them over or would I have to go and manually rename them all?

Thanks!

I guess you are using the supplied USB cable straight into the GP32, if you get yourself a external card reader (£10) you can transfer what you like, including long names.

You can also download the little tool "GP32Renamer" from this site. I use it and its works fine.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

you could just rename them by hand!!!

Don't use PCLink 1.2, theres 1.3.1 Deluxe which is hacked to automaticly rename filenames + its the latest version
