Famicom MGL

Unread post by MacGyverr »

Is there any way to set up an MGL for creating a menu item for just Famicom games?

I have created an MGL in the Consoles folder named Famicom.mgl and it contains:

Code: Select all

<mistergamedescription>
	<rbf>_Console/NES</rbf>
	<setname>FDS</setname>
</mistergamedescription>

When I launch it, it opens a menu for FDS files, but when you select one, it just goes gray and nothing else.

FDS games work just fine when opening them via the normal NES core, I'm just trying to create a separate menu item for Famicom.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

Is there an FDS BIOS file in games/FDS? If not, copy boot0.rom from the NES folder to the FDS folder.

That was it.
I had copied just the boot2.rom (famicom) but not boot0.rom, works perfectly now thank you.
