Menu/game not loaded after transferring about ems-flasher HOT 10 CLOSED

Actually, it looks like the 3% thing is a simple output error, since 32 KB is 3% of 1024 KB
So after all 32 KB of the menu rom is written, it mistakenly reports that it is 3% complete.

Regardless, I'm still having the issue of nothing appearing on my Gameboy screen.

Hello,

Thanks for you report.

The 3% thing is in fact the expected behavior, I have bad tastes I know :-p but that could easily be changed ;-)

Maybe your problem is related to issue #9 solved with PR #11.
Have you updated your repo to the last revision?

Then recompile the project:

make clean
./config.sh --dev # dev release: executable will use menus.gb in current dir
make menu-orig # this should regenerate menus.gb from a precompiled menu
make

Thank you for the reply.

My repo is up to date. I used --dev and remade the menu roms, but I had the same behavior as before on the Gameboy after transferring.

Shortly after making this issue report, I found a fork of this project belonging to a friend of mine, and it worked just fine for me:
https://github.com/Drenn1/ems-flasher

Note that Drenn1 version is buggy as erase-blocks are never erased before rewrite (I've opened an issue about that). It should be fine if you never remove ROMs though.

I've attached compiled menus. menus.gb worked for me on a Game Boy Color. Please compare menus.gb with your version before replacing it and then try again if the files were different. menuorig.tar.gz

You could also check if the menu have been correctly flashed:

./ems-flasher --read tmp.gb # wait say 5sec, we only need the first 32K
dd if=tmp.gb of=tmp2.gb bs=32K count=1 # truncate the file
cmp tmp2.gb menus.gb # no news is good news

The menu file read from the cart was the same as the one you provided.

Ah, it must be the menu itself so. I will look at it when I have time.

I experience the same issue as OP. However, the menu loads fine when I attempted to write 2 gbc files at once. I will try few things and report to you later.

Confirmed: Menu only works if there are more than 2 files written.

from ems-flasher.

Fixed in master. This was a bug in the menu. Checkout master and do a make to rebuild the menu variants.

Thanks for you reports and sorry for the delay.

from ems-flasher.

Thank you so much for helping out! I'll try this out and let you know if I have any other problems.

It's a pleasure! I have more time for me at the moment, so there are chances that I solve other issues more quickly ;-)
