I have a PlayDate PDU-01 unit from back in the day that runs, unfortunately I can’t seem to get it to update with the PlayDate Utility.
It says “Update Error: Device version could not be determined.” No matter what I do including holding “Option” which is supposed to bypass version check.
It’s running a pre-1.0 beta firmware that doesn’t have WiFi support. Is there any hope to get this device going — or some other way to update the device manually? Maybe with an older version of the SDK or something? I’d hate for it to just become basically a pretty PlayWeight and would like to develop on it again.
Support was helpful in that they linked me the PlayDate Utility download and provided the latest update files for my unit. They said if I can’t manually update with the utility there’s nothing I can do and offered me a coupon for a new PlayDate, but I feel like there’s got to be something that can be done.
