I'm relatively new to this, but perhaps someone on here can help me. Anything is much appreciated.

I recently won an Ebay auction for a Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance cartridge known as a Songpro Multimedia Player. I have the device in my possession. It's essentially an MP3 player on your Gameboy Color (Sort of like the PlayYan for Gameboy Advance in Japan, but anyway), upon getting the device, I tested it and it works perfectly. However, in order to place music files onto the device, I am needing to install drivers for it. From what I could gather, there was a CD that came with these things and I can't find anything on it. There's like, maybe 3 articles about it that I could find, but none of them have drivers posted. (It mainly talks about the device and nothing more). There's a listing on Etsy that shows good prints of the user manual, but that's it. I even tried loading an SD card with some music files and putting it in the device to see if it would recognize anything and it doesn't. Even when I connect the device to my computer, Windows does recognize it under the Device Manager, but fails to do anything with it for lack of drivers. So to make a long story short, I'm looking for drivers for this thing, or just a dump of that CD. (I suspect that's what I am needing). Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places for this, but I came here hoping someone may know something. Sorry for a long post, but I'd love to get this thing working. As much of a novelty as it may be.

Has it got a URL on it, or in the manual scans, for the official website? Assuming it's long gone, running it through the internet archive (web.archive.org) is usually a good place to start. You probably won't be lucky enough to find the software download actually archived on there, but finding a link with the filename could help your search.

Going into the cartridge, there is some information about some websites that are listed. I know one of them is the songpro website itself which I believe I have already checked and it no longer exists. There's about 2 more I can check. I'm going through them now. Also going through the manual scans to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thank you for your reply! Wasn't expecting to get something so quickly!

UPDATE: I've looked through a few websites. 2 of them are defunct now. (No Surprise) However, one website is still available and apparently still in business now? It's Cirrus Logic. Their website is still up and they apparently had hand at this?

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off

    Head tracking cameras and all

    Have a USB type C connector for power and controller done

    @K3Nv2, The types of gamers who pay $2,000 for RGB everything, and to run bloated Windows.
