====== BootFriend Installation (direct EEPROM write) ====== - Create a BootFriend splash screen on [[https://wonderful.asie.pl/ws/bootfriend/]]. When done configuring, select ''Download bootfriend.bin (EEPROM dump for hardware recovery)''. * It is not necessary to change any configuration details; the default blank splash screen is sufficient. TODO. I am not a hardware engineer; suggestions welcome. Generally, what you want to do is write the downloaded binary file to the 93C86-compatible EEPROM chip on the handheld's PCB. ===== Troubleshooting ===== * To uninstall BootFriend, use the ''Disable BootFriend'' option. * The console will not turn on at all if no cartridge is present in the cartridge slot. * The ''Test BootFriend'' option may be used to test loading .bfb programs without installing BootFriend - naturally, these programs won't have access to console functionality only available during boot ROM execution.
