I always load the macro before pressin ok... toherwise i get garbage... what i hate so much is the fact that if i try crazy taxi or HOTD2 it doesn't get too far... sometimes tracks dont load up either so i got too skip them

if you have the option to press pause, do that and open the dc, close it, and wait about 20 seconds and press start... it'll skip a track. anyone know why mine always skips 2 tracks? it shows the nfo for the next when i press open but when i press start it starts the one after that! i can only skip to odd # tracks! insane!

good luck

Ok I have changed my capactitors to 0.1uf and NO DIFFERENCE

Man thanks for the macro tip but that aint work either.

Do you even get to the track03.iso.gz or whatever bit?

Cuz I do not. INstead of listing the track sit just has garbage.. thats it.

I wanna know if you after you type in ok get the track listings or do you get garbage? (without the macro)

Had the same problem, getting garbage, It turned out to be the serial port on my computer wasn't up to the job. connected to a different computer, works fine..

Do you see the '>'?
I did not see any '>' on my machine, and then tried it on another machine, and everything was fine.
I saw all of the '>', and then the message about changing the baud rate came up, and then when I ran the macro, everything downloaded.

i dont know what kind of capacitators i have. i took an old nes r/f switch box and put the little pcb in there to avoid damage...

charlieangel · #21 09-03-2001, 21:54

Same here Kev

those little rf boxes for nes are a good size.

Ok, I switched to yet another computer and now the cable works. But It pauses every few seconds.. and only download about 1 meg in 30 minutes! then after that it speeds up and downloads waaaay fast but shortly after it is speedinga long with no pauses it dumps a lot of garbag eto the teraterm window and stops. I hav eused macro and not macro... my capacitors are now 0.1uf tantelum ones.
