So I got a GP32 a couple of years ago with a few games but not the ones I really wanted to play like Tomak and All for princess. I got a 64MB Smart card but I seem to have no way of writing the roms to the system. They all come in smart media format. All websites about the GP32 seem to stop in 2005 and offer not much help in this regard. Anybody got any tips?

Hmm, I only vaguely remember how to do stuff with this, but couldn't you just put the roms on the smart card and have the system read them!? I do have this very specific cable here though, which connects to the GP32 and does... something. Maybe you need that :P That's about as good as my 15 year old memories go!!

Yes for PD games but no for commercial games. They are always in the SMC format which is a smart card image (not the same as snes rom format). BUt I can't find smart card rom burning software

hmmmm.yeah I don't remember how that happens at all! but there's got to be smart card rom software out there - I'll try to look when my brain is in the right place!

Bean has/had one of these too, although he hasn’t posted here in a year or two I think.

I DO indeed have a gp32... and likely the software that you need. The problem is that it'd be on my 2005 laptop hidden somewhere in my garage. The next time I'm rummaging in there I will see if I can pull it out of hiding, see if it boots up, and see if I can figure out where the software is lurking on there. I remember that the "coolest" thing I ever did with mine, was put an SNES emulator on it, which I was so stoked about at the time.
