11.1 Downloading Games
To see a complete list of games for sale,
go to the
Gmini
402
presentation page
on the Archos website (www.archos.com)
and click on the
Gmini
402
Games link.
Once you purchase the game, you will
be presented with a download message
box. Your browser may warn you that the
contents of the download may harm your
computer. This is because the Windows
®
system does not know what a .MPN le is. Be assured that Archos has
made every effort to ensure that the le does not contain viruses. Click on
the option Save to download this le to a convenient place, such as
My
documents
, in order to later copy this le to your
Gmini
402
.
Copy to Gmini
402 root
Connect your
Gmini
402
to your
computer, and then
copy the .MPN
game le to the
root directory of
the
Gmini
402
. The
root directory is the
top most level of
the directory hierarchy. Just drag this .MPN le onto the
Gmini
402
Hard
disk in your le manager and it will place it in the top most directory
(outside any folder). Once this le is copied, safely disconnect the
Gmini
402
from the computer.
Once disconnected from your computer, the Gmini will notice that there
is a new game le on the root directory and will install the game
automatically. It will then erase the .MPN le that you copied to the root
directory. It is a good idea to keep a copy the installation le on you PC.
Even if that le gets lost, you can always go back to the Archos website
and re-download your purchased game free of charge.
You may notice that there is a folder on your
Gmini
402
hard drive called
Mophun. You should not delete this folder nor copy any les into it.
Purchased games will install themselves into this folder.
