If your Black Mage Badge already has the bootloader, you can install this release by performing the following two important actions:

  1. Upload the Game Engine
  2. Upload the Scenario Content

To upload the Game Engine:

  • Power off your badge.
  • Plug your badge into your computer via the badge's USB C port.
  • Hold the BIT_1 key on your badge, and while it is held, power on your badge.
  • If the badge has successfully entered bootloader mode, the screen will be white, and the LEDs will blink in a circular pattern.
  • The badge should mount as a drive called NRF52BOOT.
  • Copy the bm_badge.uf2 file onto the NRF52BOOT drive.
  • When the bm_badge.uf2 file is finished copying, the badge will automatically reboot.
  • Power off the badge again.

Upload Scenario Content:

  • On a FAT32 formatted microSD card, create a folder named MAGE at the top level of the drive.
  • Copy the game.dat into this MAGE folder.
  • Carefully insert the microSD card into the card slot on the badge.
  • Power on the badge.
  • You should be presented with a screen asking whether you would like to copy the new game.dat on to the ROM chip.
  • Press MEM3 to confirm the update, and the copy process will start. This process will take about a minute.
  • When this step completes, the game will start.
