Flash Equipment > Works!

Okay - I tried it on Wonkie & it seems to work great! I'm hoping the checksum & everything works on game boy - but it sure works great on the computer.

Which leaves open a dumb question - why wouldn't the program author do this automatically?

Enjoying the flash card & all the home-made files you guys are sharing for the flashcard. My imagination is too slow to write a game, but I'm sure glad there's folks like you out there. To me the commercial games are a bore.

next time reply to your old topic instead of starting a new one.

the author of wonkie didn't do it himself for one of several reasons:
1. he doesn't need to for his flash cart (some dont require it)
2. he's worried about the legal implications of distributing copyrighted nintendo material (even if it's only a handful of bytes and its required for the rom to boot)
