If you know much about the backend side of Pygamer consoles then I could use your help. A while ago I tried to update one of my Adafruit Pygamers because it wasn’t running one of my projects correctly. I probably didn’t follow the instructions properly (I was like 13 at the time) and now my PyGamer looks like this when I boot it up:
I probably messed up the files trying to bring it back back then. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This looks like you put circuitpython on it. If you connect the pygamer to a computer does the bootloader show up? If not, try pressing the reset button and checking again.
Once the bootloader shows up on screen you should see it as a removable drive on your computer and you should be able to drag a UF2 file over to flash it.
