Questions regarding filenames and joystick

[goldenegg]

I just received my GP32 FLU yesterday and am loving it. I just have two (hopefully) quick questions.

1) Is there any way to load long file names on the SMC card? Right now, I've just done a "copy /n * \rename\*" to convert my filenames, but it's a bit of a pain.

2) The joystick is not as tight as I'd like, and in turn is extremely sensitive. Is this normal for the GP32?

Thanks in advance to all who answer!

Yes, it´s very sensitive. In time you will learn to love it.

Seems like the brainwasher isn't working for you... It's supposed to make you love every single thing about the GP32 once you turn it on...

Re: long filenames
There is a utility called GP32 Renamer which easily converts files to 8.3 format :-

Woops, I forgot to remove my anti-brainwashing cap

Thanks for the responses guys. Got another question.

I've found sites online that have games posted in SMC format, and they're not SNES games. Any idea where to load these on the card? I can't seem is get them to work.

.SMC?!?! They can be run by GeePee32, but I don't know how to unpack them.

Where did you dig them up from?

 

[goldenegg]

Ya, they're .SMC. I found them on quite a few websites. I'm starting to think they're not legal roms. If this is the case, I'd rather not put the URL here as such topics are not allowed.

 

[Shaking Spirit]

.SMC can also be SegaMasterSystem.

 

[goldenegg]

No, these are definately GP32 games. At first I thought they might be demos, but trying them in GeePee32 reveals them to be full versions.

Could you PM me the site? I'll take a look.

Use the hacked version of PC-Linkup to solve the 8 char problem:

I have every retail game I want for the GP32 anyway

And yes, it was a warez site. But as it is such a pain to extract the .SMC file and change your own SMCs ID to match the warez one, for every game, it isn't worth it.
