Getting started

From the project's README ("Getting started"):

  1. Get your ROM (.gb).
  2. If you like, try it in the simulator first.
  3. Open the install page in Chrome or Edge and choose your ROM: the page runs it in the emulator to check it. Connect the FM-1 by USB, directly to the computer, and press Install. Do not unplug it while writing.
  4. On the FM-1, PLAY starts the program. In LSDj, PLAY again plays the demo song.
