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.
