BootFriend Installation (direct EEPROM write)

  1. 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.
