Yep. I can't imagine how it could ever work.

> Gtool -> send to the copier great, but it doesn't send multiple files(SFXXXXXA, SFXXXXXB, SFXXXXXC...) or I try to send one huge 32M file and it keeps the ending at 'A' for all files (SFXXXXXA, SFXXXXXA, SFXXXXXA...).

Do you have the latest version of Gtool? I used the latest version and it seemed to send games just fine. You have to configure it for the GDSF7 first. I don't think you even need to have the ROM split, you can send a single file and GTool will break it up. I think I named it SF16023. Note that there is no A, or B on the end, it's a single file, the 16 is the game size in Mb. I don't know if you have to name the files like this, but it worked for me.

GTool was the only one I've gotten to work so far.

I don't think it matters for GTool. I have mine set up for both ECP & EPP.
