Have 3 smartmedia cards at home my gp32 seems to have problems reading 2 of them. 1x16 meg on (from my digital camera) which causes it to reset when i got to pc link. 1x128meg from my mp3 player, i can format and transfer a few files but after putting a few on i get file transfer errors.
All cards are 3.3v.

The only one that it woks fine with it is a samsung 128 one which i bought recently.
Howevere the smrtmedia cards work fine in their respective devices.


Anyone else had trouble with different brands of smartmedia?

Another question can you do file transferring via a card reader with out the need of hooking up the gp32 to my pc? How much faster is it?

Yes, the only thing you can not do with a card reader is install FXE files. How much faster it is depends on the card reader. But technically you can reach about 1 MB per second.
 
You mean install FPK-files, not FXE files, right?

Well, it IS possible to install FPK files. I use an FPK package extractor and after unpacking it to my harddisk I can just copy the files using the reader. :)
 
Oops :huh:

Thanks for the correction dragon, but what I actually meant are ZPK files.
