I found that (sorry the link is in France) but I think that an english version is also available...
Can we use this adapter in order to have more than 128M on the GP32 ( support up to 512M)
And this adapter is quite cheap (20€)
That could be good for MP3 and DivX...

see you

I think someone tried it and it only allowed xd cards up to 128MB or something.

if it works.. i think you also have to edit the firmware/bios cause it is limited to 128MB

 

[crazeeplaya]

Only 128Mb I'm affraid

GP32 BIOS + every application developed with the GP SDK is limited to 128mb.

Are you sure of the limitatation, someone found an 256 Mo SMC 3.3v and it works fine on the GP32, so i don't think BIOS is limited to 128 Mo, but SMC have to be 3.3v

Im not sure if they said it worked but I could of missed that I think they just said they found them and wanted to know if they worked... but I could be wrong

I believe it did work.... reading the 128mb of 256mb

Well, the BIOS using the same SMC routines as the SDK, and the SDK only has the signature bytes for cards upto 128mb.

What manufacturer made the 256mb card? Samsung or Toshiba?

 

[Sonic-NKT]

it would be really intresting to use those full 512 MB... so someone has to compile a firmware or what without the official SDK.. or just without this routines...
Does anyone has this adapter? and a bigger than 128MB Card...

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

with a 256 mb card, could you just split it up into 2 virtual cards?

For current applications, no. For new applications, yes if you wrote your own SMC routines (or patched the ones provided).
