Hello -
When using newromupdateutility_wizard_noid to install any ROM I get a Windows GPF and haven't been able to get around it. When I install one of the other ROM's that are compiled into an exe file they work fine.
Is there any way for me to install the ROM from the storage card without involving Windows? Anybody know if I can convert the ROM files into an installable exe format?
Thanks

"When I install one of the other ROM's that are compiled into an exe file they work fine." That's actually using the ROM Update Utility behind your back. Try this -- Start, Run, type %temp% and hit enter. Note that an explorer window comes up. Now run one of the ROMs compiled into an exe file -- don't do anything with it just run it and watch that explorer window. You'll see a new subdirectory get created. Copy that new directory to your desktop or wherever and quit the ROM update utility. Inside you'll find all the files you normally do in a ZIP or RAR ROM update including a new ROM Update Utility that you can TRY to use.

This appears to have worked! You're a genius. Thanks very much for the help!
