Getting started
From the project's README ("Getting started"):
- Get your ROM (.gb).
- If you like, try it in the simulator first.
- 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.
- On the FM-1, PLAY starts the program. In LSDj, PLAY again plays the demo song.
Risk and recovery

- High
- Requires opening the device
- No
From the project's README ("Risk"):
Installing custom firmware is at your own risk. If an install fails and the FM-1 no longer starts, recovering it needs a Transporter. The author accepts no responsibility if your FM-1 is damaged or misbehaves because of this firmware.
