Re: [gbadev] flash2advance linux problems

i tried both:


- using Flash2Advance cable with the fl tool doesnt finds the
the flash card.

root@hunter fl # ./fl -w 500 -p demo.gba
ERROR: Flash Advance Linker not found or not turned on.


- using the mbv2 cable to upload the card looks like this

root@hunter mb # ./mb -n -w 500 -e -p demo.gba

port# = 0x378, Parallel MBV2 cable found: hardware=v2.0, firmware=v4
EPP support found.
Looking for multiboot-ready GBA...
Sending data. Please wait...
CRC Ok - Done.
ERROR: No flash cart is installed in GBA
Executing cart...

1.the gba screens turns black an the "GBA R/W" logo shows up.
2. mb quits transfer with 'ERROR: No flash cart is installed in GBA'
3.mb executes the card an get into the flash2advance boot loader screen
so i see "GBA Loader 3.2".
