Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
It seems that I may have somehow deleted the INFO_UF2.TXT, INDEX.HTM and CURRENT.UF2 from my Pygamer, and I can't find a link to download them back on. Everything else I've tried doesn't work, and I can't find a way to fix it. Can someone help me?

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
INFO_UF2.TXT and INDEX.HTM are not critical files. The firmware will create the first one. CURRENT.UF2 was whatever program you were previously running.
What was the code that was running on the PyGamer?
Can you still double press reset and get the BOOT folder to show up?

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
I was trying to download a MakeCode Arcade file and it wouldn't show up whenever I downloaded it, it would just make the NeoPixels red and make d13 on the back flash red as well
Also I can't get the PYGAMERBOOT folder to show up by doubling pressing reset

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
It turns out that my computer USB port was broken, so I had to use a different port. I still can't transfer the game from my computer to the Pygamer, because now it says that my file size is too big. The UF2 is 993 KB, and I have a 16 GB SD card too, but I don't know if I need to let the Pygamer system know there is an SD card being used.

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
If you are now able to get the PYGAMERBOOT folder to show up, try downloading the PYGAMER_TEST.UF2 from here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pyg ... duino-test
Drag that to the PYGAMERBOOT folder and verify that at least that UF2 example copies over and runs as expected.

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
I have been able to get different games to work on it, if that helps

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
Can you link to the game that won't load.

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
I can't download a UF2 of that game for some reason.
Did the self test UF2 run OK?

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
OK, then it sounds like there is just something incompatible with that specific game. Although not sure what.

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
Could it possibly be one of the extensions for the project?

Possibly. Where did that example come from? Is there a way to contact the person who wrote it?

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
Is the example the game, or the extensions? I am sort of new to this.

Re: Pygamer Built-In Code Redownload
The example is the game you linked before. Where did that come from? Did you write it? Or are you following a guide?
