====== BootFriend Installation (WonderWitch program) ====== - Create a BootFriend splash screen on [[https://wonderful.asie.pl/ws/bootfriend/]]. When done configuring, select ''Download bootfriend-inst.fx (WonderWitch program)'' * It is not necessary to change any configuration details; the default blank splash screen is sufficient. - Transfer ''bootfriend-inst.fx'' to your WonderWitch. * If your computer has issues running TransMagic, you can alternatively use XMODEM serial transfer. - Start the BootFriend installer program. Make sure the status bar at the top says ''EEP unlocked''. - Optional: If you have a custom splash screen installed, you may use the ''Backup IEEPROM'' options to copy the existing splash screen to cartridge SRAM or through XMODEM serial transfer to a file on your PC. - Select ''Install BootFriend'' and follow the on-screen instructions. - If successful, the right-hand side of the status bar at the top should now display ''BF v.??'', with ''??'' being the version number. - Turn off the console. BootFriend should now be installed - you can verify this by turning the console on **with a different cartridge** while holding Y3. ===== 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.
