WonderWitch FAQ

Users

Where can I acquire a PC serial port adapter for the WonderSwan?

  • The easiest and cheaper way to acquire a serial port adapter is to build one.
    • ExtFriend is an implementation of the serial port adapter for the Raspberry Pi Pico, allowing one to be built for under 20 USD using an HDMI connector in place of the official EXT connector. Port Zero wrote a tutorial on how to do so (in Japanese).
  • RetroOnyx sells ready-built USB link cables for 85 USD each.

My WonderWitch cartridge's version of FreyaOS is outdated. Where can I download the latest version?

If you own a licensed WonderWitch cartridge, you may download the FreyaOS 1.2.0 update package on Qute's WonderWitch Player website. While the site is intended for WonderWitch Player owners only, this file also was available for registered WonderWitch owners via an FTP server; however, that server is no longer online.

Some games depend on external IL libraries like sound.il. Where can I download them?

Typically, these libraries were available on the WonderWitch and WonderWitch Player CD-ROMs, as well as on the WonderWitch registered user portal. While permission has been granted to redistribute them as part of games, many older releases do not include these libraries. Links to online copies of commonly required libraries are provided below:
