14. FDS Games
Starting with Mappers version 1.2, Famicom Disk System game playing is now supported. The .FDS files will
be listed in the game select screen. Choose one and it will be loaded along with the FDS BIOS.
You must put the altered FDS BIOS on the CF card:
1) Get the FDS BIOS, this is copyrighted and we do not provide it
2) Download the FDSBIOS.IPS patch from www.retrousb.com
3) Apply the IPS patch to the BIOS
4) Name the patched BIOS to FDSBIOS.BIN and put it in the POWERPAK directory
in the root of your CF card
If your FDS game says File Not Found, then the FDSBIOS.BIN file is likely named wrong or in the wrong
place. If your FDS game gets a Disk Set Err, then you have likely not done the patch correctly.
Your FDS games must have the FDS header, also called the FWNES header. Raw FDS files will not work.
Files with incorrect headers such as disk sides or incorrect file sizes (not 65500 bytes per side) may not load
correctly. Only games that use the BIOS will run. Some 3rd party games had their own disk reading and
writing routines which will not work. Games with multiple disks are not yet supported.
Hold and release the reset button on the console to save the FDS disk back to the CF card. If the game has
not tried to save to the FDS disk then this option will not appear. Choosing the .FDS file you originally loaded
will make sure the correct disk size is saved.
