Thank you for the update!
However, the windows download link,
https://download.panic.com/playdate_sdk/Windows/PlaydateSDK-latest.exe
,still seems to point to PlaydateSDK-1.9.0.exe.
(I was able to download it by specifying https://download.panic.com/playdate_sdk/Windows/PlaydateSDK-1.9.1.exe directly)

Same with the Mac link, and the substitution.

It says I need MacOs 10.15 to install. That's problematic for me. Is there any workaround? I'm on 10.14.6

I believe these links are working properly now (point to 1.9.1.) If you are still having issues let me know! Thanks for pointing this out!

I also need 10.14.6 compatibility :+1:

I'm on Mac OS 12.3 (MacBookPro M1) and Playdate Simulator Unexpectedly quits every time i try to check for updates. So i will do it manually. Will the update overwrite existing folder contents? (i added some stuffs to C examples)

Updates leave the existing folder (with added version number suffix) alongside the new one.

If you're saying that after installation you don't see two SDK folders then that's strange. Here's what I see:
