I have no idea how to view pics, help? when I open the filmplay file the only options i have are film, music, e-book, about and help. do i not have the latest version? if so how do i get it?

Have you tried the executable "ToBMP.exe" under the GBA Movie Maker folder?  I have a feeling that it converts image files into a format the GBA can read (maybe even .gbm format).

i have tried that and still no luck

Diablo

What does the executable do, might I ask?  I do not have (and cannot seem to find) the files required to execute it (a number of im31*.dil files), so I cannot see for myself. :o

it opens the file to convert images to something the gba can read. i convert all the images but then don't know where to play them in the gba

Diablo

What format does it convert them to?

Thanks for the info, BTW.


EDIT: Try using this program to view images.

ive tried using this program but cant quite figure it out.

kevin

i use the packer and create my roms, then i send them to the supercard. when i start up my gba i see the file but then when i select it i get a white screen.

Diablo

That's because you didn't pass the created ROM through the Supercard software. :wink:

EDIT:  BTW, I replied to your post on the Official site:  ignore it.  I only did so to inform visitors of the official site of the GBA JPEG Viewer software, and of the existence of this site.

Could you elaborate a bit more aboout this? I too am having the same issue.

Diablo

Not really much to elaborate. :lol:

After you create the .gba ROM using the software, open the ROM in the Supercard patching software the same way you do any GBA game you need to patch for use with the Supercard.  Patch it with no options enabled (or you can select some I guess, though I really don't see why), and copy the Supercard-patched ROM to your CF.

NM, I thought all the files were down.  It seems some of the older links still work.

I never had the Software that was needed.
