Hi there,

For some reason my meowbit is stuck in the loaded game. I tried hold A then reset/power on but it didn’t work. Actually, no matter which combination I hold and press reset/power on. It always loads into the game but upload mode. Is there something I missed or there is a way to factory reset the device.  
Thanks in advance.
