Color Themes

To customize your color theme...

  3. Press a non directional button to exit the menu and save your selection.

Notes On Saving

Better Button Test saves your theme selection using your cartridge's save memory. If your cartridge does not have save memory, your theme selection will not persist. However, Better Button Test does support battery-less saving on cartridges using SST39SF010 flash memory, a relatively popular chip for simple homemade cartridges. This is accomplished by using flash programming commands to alter the rom stored in the flash memory.

If your cartridge does not have save memory, and your flash chip is not a SST39SF010 series chip, you have the option to customize the theme by altering the rom file prior to flashing. To select your theme, change the byte at location 0x7FFF from 0xFF to a number between 0x00 and 0x0F that correlates to the index of the theme you'd like to use.
