Flash Equipment > F2A errors

#21222 - staticgerbil - Wed May 26, 2004 2:28 am

Just wondering if someone might have a fix for my problem...

I have a flash 2 advnce (parallel) linker and a pro 256mb cart.

It erases fine.

My crappy little demo's ive been writing copy over fine as they are tiny but as soon as a bigger file goes over (im talking about big homebrew games not just commercial stuff) F2AWriter just says Write Error. It seems to be at a different spot each time but usually between 20 - 40 seconds into the transfer.

I have tried it on 2 computers so i presume it is the hardware. Just seems weird that it's not the same spot each time which makes me think maybe the cable is a bit dodgey?

Cheers for any help.

My F2A cable died on me (No response from any host computer when plugging in cable). I've got a sinking feeling that these cables' build quality isn't the best possible. In any case, does anybody know where I can buy a new one?
