Planned for v3.5 hardware: Onboard Ethernet for network dumping, faster USB HS (480 Mbps).
Software v3.0: Full UI rewrite in Rust + Tauri (to improve macOS stability).
New device families: NES mappers (MMC1/3/5), Atari 2600, Commodore 64 cartridge format.
Cloud checksum database: Auto-verify dumps against No-Intro/Redump sets.

5. MAC Address Modification Tool

For network engineers, the latest version reintegrates a stable MAC serial editing tool for Intel and Realtek onboard NICs, a feature that was buggy in the 2.1.x series.

Troubleshooting the Latest Version

Even with the newest release, issues can occur. Here are fixes for the top three user complaints: Planned for v3

Issue 1: "No driver found" on Windows 11

Fix: Go to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options > Optional Updates. Look for "CH34x driver updates." Install and restart.

Issue 2: "Chip is write-protected" error

Fix: The latest version includes a "Software WP" toggle in the toolbar. Toggle it ON, then attempt erase. Physically, check if your chip has pin 3 (WP#) pulled high to 3.3V.

Issue 3: Verification fails immediately after write

Fix: Lower the SPI clock speed. Go to Config > SPI Speed > 1MHz. High-speed programming on long jumper wires causes signal reflection. The latest version adds a "Weak pull-up" checkbox—enable it.
