Meowbit Custom Firmware

We’ve all seen the GameSlots Firmware for MeowBit, and I for one was impressed. I have tried writing code on GitHub with AI, and let’s just say it didn’t go well. I know that the MeowBit is one of the most limiting consoles on MakeCode, and while I know we can’t change things like RAM, we could mess around with the firmware to make more options. If @AqeeAqee was able to make a firmware that let us load four more games on MeowBit, why can’t we do more? My goals are:

  1. Recreate all the capabilities of the GameSlots firmware.
  2. Other features? ChatGPT has said (Which you should always take with a grain if salt) that MeowBit could be improved a little with different firmware even if it still used MakeCode. I’ve seen some blog pages about people who managed to make an NES emulator on another version of the MeowBit’s chip (Not on MakeCode)

The big issue: I don’t know how to code this stuff. I need help from smart coders like you to make this possible. I’ll take all the help I can get! We can figure out other features too, but let’s get this started! (Please don’t ignore this post, if you have a MeowBit, this could affect you in a BIG way!)

I’m on the brink of understanding this stuff (partially) I’ve tweaked teh image file slightly and im figuring out how to run make locally to make some very low level CFW.

Nevermind. I really hit a wall here and I don’t understand why. I’m gonna need help from the only person who’s made custom firmware for the Meowbit or some other genius. @AqeeAqee if you see this, i need some help.
