Thanks man! I looked for a while, must have missed it...
Any guidance on the Circuit Python .UF2 before I go flash all of these?

Any guidance on the Circuit Python .UF2 before I go flash all of these?
just follow the steps in the github read me. it's all just dragging and dropping files, super easy

It was the question I asked above that I wanted an answer to.
Don't worry, I'll just use the explicit version of the .uf2 you linked, which is outdated, but obviously recommended. Thanks.
Ah I didn't realize they finally released 10.x for this I haven't tested it but there's no harm in trying.
Circling back to say that 10.x didn't work. Rebooted back to "FTHRS2BOOT" after dropping it over.
Using the suggested version on Git worked a treat and rebooted to "CIRCUIT PY" with no issue.
Also reporting in that the process works just fine on a Mac.
Loaded up System 2, System 18, M92 and MVG460 sets with no issues. Looks fantastic in person. Can't wait to finish these off and get them up and running. Great work @twistedsymphony, and thanks for sharing!
that's a shame as I think that 10.x includes some improvements that might fix the web-interface issues. I'll have to see what's up with it once I have some time.

The clarity of the screen is amazing and the supplied M92 logos look great.Keen to see how they turn out for M92 usage
The selector is a lot smaller than standard selectors. But that’s not a bad thing.
I’ll hopefully have yours finished by the weekend and off.
these screens continue to impress me, seriously pictures I've been able to take don't do it justice.
I had some time to investigate the python 10.2.x release.
it seems that 10.x uses an updated UF2 bootloader. so the bootloader needs to be updated before circuit python 10 it can be installed.
Initial tests seem to show my current selector code running on it ok.
I'd recommend people stick with 9.8 for now as there are a couple of extra steps involved to get 10.x running and there's little benefit to it right now.
@twistedsymphony Have you tried getting this to work on the psikyo multi using the OLED ext connector? Not sure how much data is being transferred on that or not (haven't researched yet), but a remote access to game selection would be nice. I'm modifying a shell right now to house your selector, but I guess I should ask if it's even possible since you have one.
I have not tried but, again it's the same situation as the older DS multis, where I'd need detailed technical information from aje_fr.
the existing selector design is made to work with Dip-switch based multis... that's what makes it "universal" in that if your multi uses dip switchs and you can wire it up then it can work. Getting it to work with more complicated multis that do SD card loading and their own existing LCD interface will need ground up customization... anything is possible but the work requires knowledge of how the existing system works.
