towmater Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Did it come with a sync cable? IIRC it was an advanced Palm device, so syncing to a PC is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 It's been a while since I have owned one but I believe it needs to be connected to a PC to transfer games to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baize Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 looks like I will need to get a usb cable. it didn't have one just charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Do some searching on the Tapland forums. It may require more than just a USB cable, perhaps specialty drivers. You can probably find more information there. http://www.tapland.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) You actually dont need a sync cable as you can put whatever you want on an SD card of less than 4gb and run everything from there. Anything you keep on the internal memory will be wiped out if it ever loses power so the SD card is the way to go. Go to this site- http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/zodiac.cgiand download whatever you want directly to the card and run it from one of the Zods SD slots. You will have to run PopAccess (it is on the site) to authenticate some games and they have to be installed correctly but otherwise it should be easy.

StopDrop&Retro Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Something tells me you're the go-to guy for Zodiac stuff I wanted one, but the prices have really hiked up in the past few years. I remember seeing ads for them in magazines back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to eventually get another Zodiac so this will be helpful in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
