Utility to read and write to all Pokemon mini hardware
Project description
pm2hw
A flasher for all Pokemon mini Flash Cards (that I can actually test).
This is a work in progress, PokeUSB will come soon.
Installation
It would be best to install this via pipx rather than plain pip; but of course, both are possible.
Windows
The system has been tested on Windows 10 with Python 3.9
- Download and install the FTD2XX drivers for Windows (Desktop).
- Install pipx if it's not installed:
py -m pip install pipx --userNote you will very likely need to add the folder to your PATH variable (it will warn you post-install). - Install pm2hw:
pipx install pm2hw
Linux/MacOS X
The system has not been tested on these OSes, but it should work.
- Download and install the FTD2XX drivers for Linux or Mac OS X as appropriate.
- Install pipx if it's not installed:
python3 -m pip install pipx --user - Install pm2hw:
pipx install pm2hw
Usage
- CLI:
pm2hw --help - Open GUI:
pm2hw-gui- Navigate to Help -> How to Use
Comparison
All tests run on Python 3.10.5. Write times do not include verification (add the read time for that).
