Famicom Disk System (WIP)
Introduction
[copied from No-Intro wiki - needs polishing]
This guide is for dumping Famicom disks.
Note: Famicom disks are writeable, so unused disks are preferable when possible, but not required.
Additional, possibly useful info here (needs looking through).
Methods
FDSStick + FDSStick Disk Read/Write Cable + PC
Tools
- Famicom Console
- Disk Read/Write cable. Or you can build one of these yourself, detailed on the FDSStick website.
Dumping
- Hook the FDSStick up with a cable from your FDS disk drive and then the other end to your PC.
- I do BIN and RAW dumps as well but i'm not sure how useful they are but might as well.
