>> I've read a bit of discussion here regarding using 256mb Smartmedia in the GP32 and it normally concludes that either there are no 256mb Smartmedia cards available at the moment/256mb ones run off 5v and thus won't work/etc
Recently I found 3 places that claim to sell 256mb Smartmedia cards. One of the places also (apparently) sell 3.3v 512mb Smartmedia and 2 of them claim that their 256mb cards are 3.3v. It could well be that they don't actually have any of these in stock (although they can be ordered!?). Maybe listed for 2004 stock?
I'm presuming that the firmware is limited to 128mb anyway at the moment and just a firmware modification is needed (hopefully not a hardware limitation of the GP32 also)?
Presuming that these are 3.3v 256mb (and 512mb ) cards I see no reason why they could not work, is it basically gonna be a case of new firmware = SMC storage goodness sometime soon? If they are available now (fingers crossed) maybe someone can hack around with the current firmware to add support? <<
