help needed for gammacard

Hi mates,
if i get the following items:
1-gammacard
2-gammaloader v1.0
3-latest .gam file
4-usb serial adapter + null modem cable to transfer files from laptop to clarke tech2100 decoder

Do I need a smartmouse(programmer) to let this card work? If so, what type of smartmouse do you recommend to get to be compatible with gammacard?

Should I use the nullmodem cable in this procedure or not?

the card where should i put it during the load of .gam file? should it be inside the receiver or should it be in the smartmouse?

I need to know the procedure in order and step by step so that I dont do mistake..I dont know how to start and what to do with all these items..
Thanks in advance

Yes you can use a smartmouse for programming the card.....but no a null modem cable....you must to use a cable pin to pin

If yoy want to use smartmouse it's needed a cable 9 pin m to 9 pin f

now I have a question about how loading .gam file...
let's suppose that the card is inside the smartmouse now and the smart mouse is connected to the laptop via the serial adaptor..
I will open the gammaloader..then choose the correct port..then what?
how can I direct the loader to choose the .gam file I want to load?
or in other words: how can I say to gammaloader that here is the file I want to load?
In the gammaloader, I dont see the download or browse icon to choose the file

sorry one more question:)
in readme file: I see that there are 3 files(one new and 2 old)..the first one is N*va emu at 26/01 and the second one is showt*me AU at 26/02 and the latest new one is Showt*me AU at 9/03...
my question is: before loading the file of 9/03, do I have to load first the N*va emu of 26/01 and the other file of 26/02?

I am not familiar with gamma card but I am pretty sure you should just load latest file showtime or latest file for nova. I don't think you can load more then 1 file to the card.

Ok I will load only the latest file showt* then...but what will I do if a new file showt* appears next month for example? from what you said,I understand that I cannot load more than 1 file to the card...this does mean that I will not be able to load the coming files then, am I correct?

No, that's not what I meant. I mean you can't load more then 1 file at a time. You can load new files when they appear of course.

Ok Rocknroll:) sorry I misunderstood it..that was a stupid question from me :D
by the way, do u have any idea about how long will this card work?
is there a possibility that it could be disabled by original providers?

I don't think it can last long. And yes, it can be disabled by providers. Nova is supposed to switch to new generation of irdeto cards, that should kill the hack on gamma card. Not sure what situation is on showtime.
But my guess would be that providers have their hands in these unofficial cards. They probably have some kind of agreement with card teams like gamma card. They sell a bunch of cards which work for few months. Providers get their share, and then kill a hack so they don't loose subscribers. But don't take my thoughts for granted. I am a sucker for conspiracy theories :)

I see..to be honest, this theory sounds very logical..I agree with it..but I dont care if they block N*va..what is important to me is showt*..hope it is not the same case..
Thanks for all the support you provided to me 2night:)
Good night

Regards,
Sandro
