-Basically…+  * **(Don't enable this unless you know what you're doing!)** If you are debugging, enable “Half Duplex” to see outgoing text. This is useful for debugging a few possible issues, but will be a little more confusing for the user.
  
-- (Not necessary, personal preference) Under the “Display” tab, enable “Half Duplex” to see outgoing text. You may also enable “Scrollback” and set it to something like 200. +{{:carts:nintendo:virtualboy:vb_guide_09_half-duplex_enable.png?240}}
-<image> +
-- Under the “Port” tab, set “Baud” to 500000 (yes, 500,000). Set “Parity” to none, “Data Bits” to 8, “Stop Bits” to 1, and “Hardware Flow Control” to none. +
-<image> +
-- Set the “Port” drop-down box to whichever COM port is to be used. To do this… click on the entry that says “(double click to scan ports)”. Then, click on the drop-down box again. Select the port which applies to you. My port is “3=\USBSER000” or just “3”. +
-<image> +
-- After setting these values, click “Change” to apply changes. +
-<image> +
-- Click “Open”, so now the button is depressed. This means communication is open. Switch to the “Send” tab. +
-<image> +
-- At this point, you can start receiving data! To send commands, click on the top left input-box (still under the “Send” tab), type the command, then click the button to the right of it that says “Send ASCII”. (Note: IIRC this is correct, but if not then try the “Send Numbers” button.) +
-- You may start receiving data from the Programmer. Also before now, the display on the Programmer may have turned on already. If either of these is not the case, send a <HRST> command (hardware reset). +
-- Either earlier or just now, the display should play a short animation, then stop and say “VB Cartridge Programmer”. +
-<image> +
-- And on the PC, it should tell you a bit about the hardware info. (You may have to resize the window!) This info includes the message “VB Programmer lives!” along with the device's Firmware Version (FW VER), Serial Number (SN), MicroSD card capacity and format, and info about the Virtual Boy cartridge inserted. +
-- If the cartridge info says “Unknown flashrom”, that is 100% normal! That just means the device wasn’t able to auto-detect the size of the ROM, a feature only used by flash cartridges by RetroOnyx / Mellott. (And possibly more in the future, but certainly no old retail titles.) +

-To verify that the commands used in this guide are available to you, send the <PM> command to see the Programmer Menu. If it doesn’t display properly, make sure the window is large enough to fit all the text. This will tell you all of the available commands for your firmware version. +  * Under the “Port” tab, set “Baud” to 500000 (that's 500,000). Set “Parity” to none, “Data Bits” to 8, “Stop Bits” to 1, and “Hardware Flow Control” to none. 
-<image> +  * Click the drop-down box next to the word "Port" inside the Port tab. Click on the entry that says "(double click to scan ports)". Then, click on the drop-down box again. Select the newly appeared port which applies to your setup. For example, in this image the port is "3=\USBSER000" or just "3".
-- First, it is required to set the size of the ROM. Find your game in the table below, and send the corresponding ROM Size Command. The commands follow the format <SFS_XX>, where “XX” is either 24, 27, or 28. (Note: I need to add images.)+
  
-- In case you don’t know the ROM size of your cartridge, and/or your game isn’t in the list shown in this guide, you can set it to the maximum(?) size using the command <SFS_28>. This is equivalent to about 32 MB. (Note: I don’t fully grasp the math behind this command. Please double-check my work. Apologies if I’m wrong.)+{{:carts:nintendo:virtualboy:vb_guide_10_port_tab.png?480}}

-- Note: if the size is set incorrectly, undocumented behavior can occur. If the size is too small, it will cut off the ROM data too early. If the size is too large, the data will start repeating. If you don’t know the correct size (as in the preceding bullet point a), and you set it to the wrong ROM size, you will just have to have the Overdump trimmed. This can be done in a hex editor like HxD, or with the help of a community member.+  * After setting these values, click “Change” to apply changes. 
 +  * Click “Open”, so now the button appears pressed-in. This means communication is open, you can start sending and receiving data. Yellow text may or may not appear in the black area of the window.
  
-- Note 2: If you happen to be dumping the ROM from a RetroOnyx / Mellott flash cartridge for which the Programmer was able to auto-detect the flash ROM size, part 11 is not necessary. This case will be quite rare.

Make a choice: either 0 or 1. Choice 0 is to automatically name the file, based on text characters fetched from the cartridge/ROM header, and Choice 1 is to manually name the file.Personally I prefer 1 to avoid any potential issues due to invalid text characters in the filename, or if the cartridge Header can’t be properly read.+  * Optionally, to verify that the commands used in this guide are available to you, send the <PM> command to see the Programmer Menu. If it doesn’t display properly, make sure the window is large enough to fit all the text. This will tell you all of the available commands for your firmware version. 
 +  * Note that your list of commands may not perfectly match the list shown in this image. Namely it may be missing commands RDR, RGH, RSD, RST, SC, and SSN_XXX. Those four commands are not required for dumping the ROM, so don't worry. //(Editor's note: This discrepancy needs to be explained better. I don't know/remember why it acts like this sometimes. -CS)//

The commands follow the format <SFS_XX>, where “XX” is an exponent: ROM Size (bits) = 2 ^ XX. (XX can be 24, 27, or 28, and other sizes.) 
 +  * If you don't know or can't determine the ROM size of a cartridge, it is recommended to try <SFS_24>. This command is for a size of 4 MB (16 Megabits), which was the largest ROM size of any retail title. Alternatively try <SFS_28> for a size of 32 MB (256 Megabits), which is the size of the largest documented flash cart. 
 +  * Note: if the size is set incorrectly, undocumented behavior can occur. If the size is too small, it will cut off the ROM data too early. If the size is too large, the data will start repeating. If you don’t know the correct size, and you set it to the wrong ROM size, you will just require the Overdump to be trimmed. This can be done in a hex editor like HxD, and/or with the help of a community member. 
 +  * Note 2: If you happen to be dumping the ROM from a RetroOnyx / Mellott flash cartridge of which the Programmer was able to auto-detect the Flash ROM size, the <SFS_XX> command is not necessary. This case will be quite rare. (If you don’t know what this means, ignore this!)

-Step 3: Dumping the SRAM+  * If you chose Option 1, you must now “Enter a short file name and press Enter.” You can type in a filename in the black area, then press Enter. The filename doesn’t matter, something simple like “dump.vb” works fine. File extension also does not matter, and can optionally be left off. (Note: the software used, both the Serial program and the Windows operating system for file management, might run into errors if the filename contains an invalid and/or non-ASCII text character.) 
 +  * If, for debugging purposes, at the beginning you enabled “Half Duplex” in the Display tab, you will see both a red and a yellow text character for whatever you type. Don’t worry, it’s only doubled-up because of this option. If “Half Duplex” is disabled, those inputted text characters will appear yellow and not doubled.

 +  * Additionally, if the RealTerm software is already active (and communication Open) when plugging in the Programmer, glitchy undocumented behavior can occur. This probably won’t affect regular use, but if something unexpectedly doesn't work then try restarting the software as well as re-plugging the Programmer.
