Hi guys, so I've recently got myself a twin famicom (model an-500b) and I would like to rewrite disks with this. Unfortunately my drive is copy protected, and I wonder how to disable this copy protection since I haven't seen anything online on how to do it

Can't find the FDSLoadr PC program? Get it here. It took me way too long to find.

Also you should know that rewriting a disk means that it will only work on your disk drive you used to write it on, so only ever overwrite corrupt disks, and mark them as rewritten for the future to know.

I checked the drive and it has the 7201 chip so... yeah

Have you verified that the drive is the problem, not the disk? Sometimes disks can be wonky with writing.
