Just reporting in - works great with my Famicom Mini. I didn't want to erase the stock games, just add them. Every game I've tried works perfectly (obviously avoiding any with weird mappers like Castlevania 3).

My setup:
  • Windows 10 Pro
  • Disabled Windows Defender temporarily (it's a mess otherwise)

To flash:
  • hold reset, power on, wait for 4 seconds
  • do the thing
  • when it says Done, hit OK and wait 10 seconds before powering off (since there's no LED)

Really pleased so far. For what it's worth, my kernel checksum did NOT match (obviously) and returned an MD5 of ac8144c3ea4ab32e017648ee80bdc230.

Hope this helps, keep up the great work.

Feature requests: modify/remove/add individual ROMs from the original 30. There are a few I don't care about.

Any chance you could share your kernel.img - Curious if the famicom kernel works on the nes classic :)

Just starting to think it wasn't meant to be. Tried every method possible, install/reinstall, different kernels, turning off driver signature checks, using different app versions...nothing works.

I'm just guessing some systems can get soft-modded and some can't with the tools available. Thanks everyone for the help but I've about lost all hope modding the thing.

Can you describe what your problem is / what happens that its not working? Error Messages, etc.
Right there with ya, high hopes for day 3.

Have you tried the original process?

Everything goes smoothly up until the app is done uploading games, when it says to wait for the LED to turn off. It never does and I just get the original menu when I plug it into the the TV. It's the "reset bug" people mentioned here.

yeah. no luck...

Yes I have, no luck.

What happens using the original method? Same thing? / Would either of you like to try a screenshare / chat via skype? Curious to see how your experience is different than mine and if there is anything I could do to assist...

Just added FDS support, version 2.05.
FDS BIOS not required, it's already present in NES Mini :)

I need somebody with LED bug and UART cable soldered to NES Mini. I need console output, maybe there is simple error while script executing.
I might sound stupid but what is FDS?

Famicom Disk System BIOS. Required to boot FDS ROMS In NES Emulators.

I'm hoping the Famicom kernel image can be flashed on a NES Mini :)

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
