Replacement (pc-side) PC-Link

[Squidge]

Just wondering if someone has already started work on a replacement for the GarkPark official PC-Link product (PC Side). I've used it a few times now, and every time is like pulling teeth. I've seen all the hacked versions, but I want more than that.

So, I'm thinking of writing my own instead. But before I do so, I want to make sure nobody else has already started on one.

If I continue, has anyone documented the protocol, or know of any available source code that will help? If not, I'll just have to reverse engineer it from the bios code.

Note that I'm talking about the PC Application, not the driver or the files on the GP32.

You can get details on the protocol from the linux tools, gplink for the main commands and GpRun (for directly running a gxb with Dark Fader's GP32 pc-link) at mithris' site.

It's very simple! Also there's a Win32 command line pclink utility at Dark Fader's site and a tk-based X-windows front end for gplink.

Enjoy

Thanks. I had found the gplink software on my searches, but not the others. Also found Microsoft's BulkUSB example, which should do nicely for talking to the GP32.

As soon as I've done a usable version, I'll post the download URL here (well, maybe not here, but on this board
