sorry for the topic, but im going loco
i flashed my gp32 with the new euro firmware ( the one which came in the same archive as gamepark manager, i believe it was 1.6.7 beta EU fw ) and now my gp only beeps when i turn it on
Is there any way to fix it ?
pls somebody say yes and let me know how
im really desperate since i have no money to buy a new one and i love my gp

/me cries

Looks like a broken flash... Maybe you can build a jtag cable and repair the flash.

 

[Octavious]

Well, I think the jtag is the only option

~Octavious

sorry...

 

[didl666]

im really no tech guy, though i know a few who could maybe help me doing so. do u have a tutorial somewhere ?

 

[GPJosh]

Hope Mr. Spiv can help didl666. You should send him in Email or PM. (If you don't know he used to have a reflashing service.)

 

[didl666]

yes i mailed him and i mailed gamepark too. I really hope mr. spiv makes an exception to the rule and repairs it for me
i know i didnt do anything wrong, had fresh batteries and waited long enough before turning it off and on angain

 

[ralp99]

does mashmods.com do this kinda stuff too? maybe send them an email as well??

seem like pretty nice guys.. (well if you got the dough at least..)

 

[geo12]

mashmods isnt that expensive tho. They'll fix my gp32 for 14$ and if they cant fix it they'll refund me

 

[didl666]

ok i mailed them too, told them i´d also want a replacement screen installed ^^ its just that canada is so far from me in germany, im scared my gp will fall into the great ocean inbetween

 

[didl666]

hmm great i got back this message:

Hello,

I am very sorry but we do not have the tools or knowledge on
re-flashing Gp32 consoles or jump-starting them. Try your luck
on the gp32xtreme message board, perhaps someone will
know there.

Sorry,
Gregor
www.mashmods.com

not their fault, but still

 

[GPJosh]

Get an E-mail or PM back from Mr. Spiv yet?

 

[didl666]

nope, i will try to contact him again tomorrow telling him about masmods too and that he is my only hope ( great obi wan )

Well, I can flash your GP32 but I'm in New Zealand so I'll understand if you don't want to send it here. Although I'm sure it won't fall in the ocean - did you know that people fly over the oceans all the time and *very rarely* fall in them? PM me if you want to send your GP32 here.

I'll drop Gregor a line about JTAG flashing, it's very simple and maybe he'll offer the service once it's been explained to him.

Mr. Spiv has good reasons not to do the flashing service any more, you should probably respect his decision.

I still owe Mr spiv for my flash i forgot to add payment into the package when i sent it

But im paying him back just need to find out hot i can get AUD into euro hmmm.... :blink:

Hi NiN^_^NiN

You are a BAD PERSON but I'm sure Mr. Spiv will forgive you

I'd really recommend PayPal, I'm sure it's an evil corporation but it just makes it damned easy to transfer funds. And you're a working man now, surely you've got a credit card?!

Well, dammit! I was just at the Gold Coast a month or so ago (holiday at Bundaberg)... we could have caught up!

Anyway I'm a kiwi (see avatar) so if you're in Christchurch anytime, give me a yell

Could you give up a schematic of how to build a JTAG cable? I would like to attempt to flash my FW but want to have a cable ready so I can resurrect my GP32 incase it goes balls up on me. Plus I don't want to be without my GP32 for all of the time it would take for shipping.

This would help out many others as well that had problems especially since Mr Spiv doesn't do it anymore. Plus building a cable is much quicker/faster/cheaper than sending the GP32 around the world. Thanks much.

:blink: im not gonna use a credit card sure i have quite a bit of money but when i get payed it goes directly into an account that i dont touch

all my money gets saved its quickly transfered so i wont touch it.

and paypal sucks cause u need a credit card for aussies and as i said no credit card

but thats ok i'll just get the money converted and send it to spiv in a bday card

Plus building a cable is much quicker/faster/cheaper than sending the GP32 around the world.

isnt quicker and faster the same thing :blink: anyway its hard to find the gp32 plug its easier to send it off in the end thats why i sent it to spiv he was gonna help me with a jtag cable but the damn part was nowere to be seen

Oh yeah robster i'm gonna get the plug sometime soon so i'll send u a chatboard soon no need to wreck that cable

Put something about JTAG on your site Then everybody can do it themselves.
