I've recently purchased the INL RETRO PROGRAMMER from Infinite NES Lives along with a NROM flash Board. As well, I've managed to download the relevant files & drivers from github https://gitlab.com/InfiniteNesLives/INL-retro-progdump which point to running the program from command line in explorer.
The INL programmer device is being recognized by the computer and the device driver is also up to date, I also followed Infinite NES Lives YouTube video to update the firmware, which I've now realized wasn't necessary. I'm running a 64bit Windows 10 setup.
I've dumped my original Duck Hunt ROM to my computer, modded the file with the mod from neslcdmod.com, and tested the ROM works on my PC in an NES emulator. However I am now having trouble to writing to rom to the NROM cartridge. I am using the following inlretro command, and the .nes rom is in the host;
D:\INL-retro-progdump-master\host>inlretro -s scripts/inlretro2.lua -c NES -m NROM -x 16 -y 8 -w 0 -p Duck_Hunt_(World).nes
It looks like everything is going smoothly but the Programming PRG-ROM and CHR-ROM returns the following message (which leads me to believe nothing got written);
D:\INL-retro-progdump-master\host>inlretro -s scripts/inlretro2.lua -c NES -m NROM -x 16 -y 8 -w 0 -p Duck_Hunt_(World).nes

When I load the cartridge into my original NES, I just get a blank yellow screen. I've tried to look through various online resources for help, and even searched through the forums here for support, but I couldn't find anything for this particular issue (whether it is because I am frustrated and exhausted from trying to get this to work).
Please advise if you require any additional information from me to support my question.
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
