does naplink detect the cable

Post by digisnap »

hi!

i'm new and try to set up a dev environment using naplink and usb cable. the naplink ps2-cd alsready works, but it says that the cable and the pc are not ready. can i just plug in a cable (the other end free) and see if it detects the cable already? i have a cable that has an ali chip and therefore is unlikely to work. but perhaps it is compatible and i only have to plug it into the pc on the other side or do something special. but i think if have to order the right one in the internet (lik-sang)

thanks, digisnap

If your cable is incompatible with Naplink (as yours obviously is) then that's just that. Find a compatible cable instead (any cable based off of the PL2301 or PL2302 chipsets).

thanks

The question is, do you feel lucky? Well do ya? Punk?

...

Seriously though, it comes down to luck. It seems some xport cables use a PL2301 chip, while others use a cypress AN2720 chip. If you end up with the one which uses the pl2301 it'll work, otherwise it won't.

Sorry, the X-Port cable is incompatiable with Naplink. I tried the X-Port cable along with Naplink (Naplink was running off the HDD using PS2MENU) & Naplink did not detect the X-Port cable so you can't use the X-Port cable with Naplink.

Sorry but, as stated before, there are really two versions of the cable. I have one X-Port cable here working with naplink.

Well, I have X-Port 2 & this might be the reason why Naplink didn't detect the cable.
