1. Unzip the file "Little Writer 1.0.8.0.zip"
2. Install the software (just follow the instructions)
3. You're done (for installing the Little Writer software on your
PC)
Note: When you start the Little Writer Software it will say 1.0.7.2
We have been told that this is the version 1.0.8.0
Just use this version until another one is updated
As soon as there is another version available make sure you uninstall
the old version FIRST BEFORE you install another version on your
PC.
How-To Use the X-rom with Your Gameboy Advance / GBA SP 1. Make sure that you have installed the driver and is installed
correctly (see above)
2. Make sure that you the Little Writer software is installed
correctly (see above)
3. Insert the X-rom linker into your GBA and make sure that the
linker is connected to your computer USB port. (Do not use a USB
hub)
After more testing I have discovered that there are 2 ways
to start the software to make it work correctly with your X-Rom
First Way
1. Insert the X-rom linker into your GBA and make sure that the
linker is connected to your computer USB port. (Do not use a USB
hub)
2. Power up your GBA and quickly hold the "Start and Select" buttons
AT THE SAME TIME. Now hold this for at least 5 seconds (you can
count 1 thousand 1 to thousand 5)
You can now let go of the start and select buttons and you will
see the Gameboy Logo is showing and not the Nintendo Logo just
below.
3. Start up the Little Writer software it will NOW detect the
X-rom and will give a sort of double beep sound. Now the Nintendo
logo will appear along with the Gameboy logo and BOTH logo's will
NOW disappear and your GBA screen will NOW turn BLACK
Note: You
must hold down BOTH buttons (start and select) at the same time
for at least 5 seconds for the Little Writer software to detect
the X-Rom. 4. Now after a pause Little Writer will now ask you if you want
to load
Multiple GBA Rom or Single GBA ROM (multiple means you are adding
more than 1 rom to your cart) by default multiple is selected first
by the software.
8. You are now ready to use your new X-rom
9. Simple drag and drop any .gba file (even zip files are supported
by the software) onto the Little Writer software and when you are
satisfied click on "Flash" and let the software do it's
work.
When you are done close the Little Writer software. Now turn off
the GBA then remove the linker form the PC and GBA.
X. Click here for Step-by-step instructions oh how to backup Nintendo cartridges with Xrom.
Second Way This is the second way of using the Little Writer with your X-Rom
1. Do NOT connect the Linker (USB cable) to your PC as of yet.
You can connect the
linker to your GBA if you like.
2. Now start up the Little Writer software as soon as it starts
of it will go into simulate mode. You will get a dialog box that
says "Choice" "What size card do you want to simulate?" Now
simply click on OK 3 times
3. Insert the X-rom linker into your GBA and make sure that the
linker is connected to your computer USB port. (Do not use a USB
hub)
3. Power up your GBA and quickly hold the "Start and Select" buttons
AT THE SAME TIME. Now hold this for at least 5 seconds (you can
count 1 thousand 1 to thousand 5)
You can now let go of the start and select buttons and you will
see the Gameboy Logo is showing and not the Nintendo Logo just
below.
Note: You must hold down BOTH buttons (start and select) at the
same time for at least 5 seconds for the Little Writer software
to detect the X-Rom.
4. Now simply click on "Refresh" on the Little Writer
software it will NOW detect the X-rom and will give a sort of double
beep sound. Now the Nintendo logo will appear along with the Gameboy
logo and BOTH logo's will NOW disappear and your GBA screen will
NOW turn BLACK
5. At this point you may get a pause from the software don't be
alarmed it is simply communicating with the X-Rom. Once it is done
you will now see on the top window of the software (this is where
the .gba files get dropped into the software) it will say "Empty
512 Mbits No save type file"
6. You are now ready to use your new X-rom
7. Simple drag and drop any .gba file onto the Little Writer software
and when you are satisfied click on "Flash" and let the
software do it's work.
When you are done close the Little Writer software. Now turn off
the GBA then remove the linker form the PC and GBA.
