FDS 3206 Mod Chip v2, working on fdsstick now

Tomy
Just want to let you guy know, if you want to mod your 3206 drive for use on fdsstick. Then you *MUST* use 3206 Mod Chip v2.

Also, you *MUST* use latest software from fdsstick site.
At least use this version : http://3dscapture.com/fdsstick/FDSStick_20160214.exe

If you use V1 chip on fdsstick, then you can not read or write. Also, when you read disk, it will format your disk. I’m sorry about that. But V1 chip had been released before fdsstick. I don’t know it is not compatible with fdsstick.

3206 modchip with fdsstick

Tomy

I confirm 3206 modchip is not compatible with fdsstick read/write.
When it is develop, fdsstick haven’t appear. So, I can’t know that.
It is working good except fdsstick. Like Copy Master 1.1, Disk Hacker else.
Also, it can work with any fds game with save function like Zelda.

I’m finding a way to make it compatible with fdsstick. But need some times.
I will check what different with Copy Master and fdsstick read/write.
Hope will fix soon. Sorry.

fdsstick read error fix (maybe?)

Tomy

News from loopy :
On read errors – I’ve found that a series resistor (10k or so) on the READ DATA pin (“pin 9” in my pinout diagrams) helps.

I built a GUI, it’s not quite finished but you can try it out. http://3dscapture.com/fdsstick/FDSStick.exe
I made a small change to the firmware to make using the button easier. Instead of slot numbers, you push the game number (1, 2, 3, etc..). After the game loads, the button changes disk sides (1=A, 2=B, …)

Drive PCB mod :
1) Modchip pins don’t touch anything from PCB.
2) Drive PCB need to cut two wires and solder 8 wires to the Modchip.

FDS Copy Master v1.1 (lastest)

Tomy

Copy Master software original from BUNG cracked by Me. (Keep original, no any modify). This fds image is doctor format (copier format). So, you need fds copier to run it. FDS Copy Master (1262 downloads)

Copy Master use to Backup game/Copy game/Drive speed tuning. I was told that speed “5” is the best speed. But as I remember, new drive have speed “1”. (I maybe wrong)

How to use :
1) Flash image to FDSSTICK.
2) Plug in copier to your Famicom. (Plug power supply to copier too)
3) Plug FDSSTICK to ram adapter.
4) Turn on your Famicom to load it.
5) Unplug FDSSTICK and plug ram adapter to FDS Drive.
6) You can Copy game/Drive speed tuning now.
