Hacking ELINK software issue

[Word2theWise]

Hey, I know that this kind of topic has probably been made here several times, but I really need some help.

I purchased a GBA ELINK flash cartridge a while back and recently found it, so I decided I would use it again.

The only problem is: I've upgraded my system since I used it last. (To windows 7)

Now, every time I try to launch the .exe program, it says that it cannot load because the "ELINK.DLL" file is missing, even though I can clearly see it in the ELINKDRV folder.

I've tried running it under compatibility mode, but it still does not work.

Anyone have any advice?

XP mode? There's a download on Microsoft's site for that, it's a free copy of XP for virtualization on 7.

I believe there's a usb driver that you also need to install. If you can't find it on line I have it.

That is because your trying to load a 32bit driver in a 64bit system, something windows 7 64bit DOESN'T ALLOW.

It would have worked on windows 7 32bit, not the 64bit version.

Just move the elink.dll from ELINKDRV folder to the root folder of the ELINK software.
