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.fxto 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 IEEPROMoptions to copy the existing splash screen to cartridge SRAM or through XMODEM serial transfer to a file on your PC. - Select
Install BootFriendand 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 BootFriendoption. - The console will not turn on at all if no cartridge is present in the cartridge slot.
- The
Test BootFriendoption 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.
