Title: famicom disk writing
Post by: kite200 on April 02, 2007, 06:47:47 pm
Ok, I'm interested in this but it's not exactaly documented well, what is the easiest way for me to do this, and what do I need? Anyone who can explain?

Do a search on the forum, Chimy and I have covered it in at least one other thread.  Sorry but I can't recall the names offhand.

is there a way to do it without the 7201?

If you have a 3206 you need to build a circuit to circumvent the copy protection.

I don't know if any exist on any sites easily found by Westerners.  I have 3 7201 drives so I haven't looked into it much to be honest with you.

Go here and read.  Good Luck finding the parts but it is not impossible.

Honestly, you're better off buying a 7201drive.  Even if you can find the plans online, the scans and docs are so poorly done that you don't know what hooks up to what. 

Plus, either way you'll need an MGD1 or a Famicom Doctor and FDS loader cable.
