But i think maybe is best gerald made an opinion.  .

I agree. 

I'm glad I got the cable though, I will get another later, or if I don't need to use it anymore on the GX4000, I'll use it on my Amiga 3000, I'm using a SCSI to Micro SD Interface Adapter inside it, with this cable,
I can have the SD card reader out the back of the Amiga.

Hi All,

I've just released a new version of C4CPC firmware.
This new version mainly add text file display in CprSelect, and also add support for Symbiface II

Text display requires that both FW and CprSelect are updated.

When a Symbiface II card is detected, its expansion ROM are disabled
- If the bootload is used, the ROM will be re-enabled once the CPR is loaded
- If CprSelect is used, the ROM will stay disabled to make sure converted game works.
This mean that if you use CprSelect to load a system CPR, the Symbiface ROM won't be recognise.

Let me know if you find any problem with this new version

Getting an error message when trying to install the programmer... how to fix it?

[rave_dj]

Hi.

Try the first solution and run the program. If it doesn´t work move to the next solution

First: Run as administrator

Second: move the folder to c: (I see a "!" in the path and some programs don´t like this)

Third: Unrar the file attached and copy in the program folder.

Fourth :Unrar the file attached and copy it to c:\windows\System32 (32 bit system) or c:\windows\sysWOW64 (64 bit system) and register it (in the folder where the file is, run a elevated terminal and type "regsvr32 libusb0.dll").

Hope it helps 

(excuse my poor english)

I hope you got the problem sorted out and now have it all working. 

I had the same problem for some reason, I didn't have this problem with the last firmware update, I thought the problem must have be due to having upgraded to windows 10. 

I didn't download or install anything, I just unplugged it and tried in a different usb port, did the reset thing on the cart then it worked! very odd

libusb is installed by the atmel DFU driver. Did you install it before launching the update batch file ?

Either let windows find it or better install it by hand :
Right click on C4CPC_V1.00.04\windows\dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2\atmel_usb_dfu.inf and select install

Then connect your card, put dip switch 4 on, reset the card. Windows should install the driver for your card if it's no done already.
Once this is done, you can do the update with the bat file

Thank you all for the great advice! Guess some day it would be nice to have a bullet proof step by step guide. In case I can make this I will post it here. 

[zeropolis79]

I'm too scared to try this incase I **** things up.

I don't think you will.

I've updated the firmware lots of times and I've not broken it yet ! 

[zeropolis79]

Thanks

Still some bulletproof manual would help. I didn't dare up to now.

Don't be shy, there is nothing you can break, the firmware update use the ATMEL bootloader that cannot be erased by the process.

On windows :
1. install the ATMEL DFU drivers : These are located in the C4CPC_V1.00.05\windows\dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2 folder of the update archive. Just right-click on atmel_usb_dfu.inf and select install. You'll need admin right for this.
2. prepare the card for update : put DIP switch 4 ON, other switch position does not matter.
3. connect the card to the PC, then press and release the reset button. This will restart the card in DFU mode. Windows should find the driver you installed previously.
4. launch the C4CPC_V1.00.05\windows\UpdateCartEmu.bat batch file. Et voilà !

Well, I get an error message: "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation"

Which version of windows are you using.
I've just tested it with windows 7 and 10 and it's working. Are you sure you have administrative right ?
Anyone else is having this problem ?

[dragon]

I update from windowx xp(32bit) with last updates. and all o.k So winxp is tested.

Windows 7 - 64 bit. How can I be sure to have admin rights (when I installed the OS I made only a single user having admin rights).

Windows 7 - 64 bit. How can I be sure to have admin rights (when I installed the OS I made only a single user having admin rights).

You should have them, otherwise you wouldn't be able to install any software.

Let's do it the other way:
- Plug the card with DIP switch 8 ON to your PC, reset the card.
- Windows should look for a driver online, but will fail to find one.
- Open the device manager (configuration panel / system and security / system )
- In the listed device you should find the ATm32U4DFU
[attachimg=1]
- Right-click on it, select properties
- In properties, select update driver
- Select the second option : search a driver on the computer
- browse to the C4CPC_V1.00.05\windows\dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2 then select next
The drive should be installed

You just need to start the C4CPC_V1.00.05\windows\UpdateCartEmu.bat batch file

[remax]

What can easily be overlooked (it just happened to me) : RESET THE CARD

Working great here, thanks @gerald
