Using the GP32 without a SMC

[Gudleif]

I have just ordered the GP32 Console from GBAX.
Because it was much cheaper for me to order Smart Media Cards from a local site, I will not receive the cards before some day after the GP32.

My question is: Is it possible to use the GP32 without a Smart Media Card?
I'm not thinking of run any commercial game on it. It's to expensive!

No.

Well, you can turn it on and check that the power works.

 

[angrypants]

no

comercial games are really really cheap just go to joygp and download them they only cost a few bucks.

It is possible to use GP32 without SMC but that requires some level of preparations. I do use my gp32 without SMC occasionally.
First you need some alternative firmware like MultiFW or the latest Pacrom (both have PCLink with a GXB execute option). Then you need a tool (DF's commandline PCLink, MacLink or linux version of PCLink) that can send a GXB over to GP32 using execute/run command (this is a proprietary extension to original PCLink protocol). Great for development :unsure:
