This release contains all playable content from Part 1 as well as Part 2. If you have a DC801 Black Mage Badge, there's no reason to NOT update your badge to the latest release!

Update Instructions

Warning:

Purple "bootleg" badges do not carry the firmware to update like below. Instead, you will need to have a JTAG Programmer, and will need to know how to use it. Please contact the DC801 Black Mage Badge game team if you want help updating a purple badge.

If your Black Mage Badge already has the bootloader (any of the blue circuit board models), you can install this release by performing the following two important actions:

To upload the Game Engine:

  • Power off your badge.
  • Plug your badge into your computer via the badge's USB C port.
  • Hold the BIT_1 key on your badge, and while it is held, power on your badge.
  • If the badge has successfully entered bootloader mode, the screen will be white, and the LEDs will blink in a circular pattern.
  • The badge should mount as a drive called either DC801BOOT or NRF52BOOT.
  • Copy the bm_badge.uf2 file onto the badge drive.
  • When the bm_badge.uf2 file is finished copying, the drive will automatically unmount.
  • Power off the badge again.

Upload Scenario Content:

  • On a FAT32 formatted microSD card, create a folder named MAGE at the top level of the drive.
  • Copy the game.dat into this MAGE folder.
  • Carefully insert the microSD card into the card slot on the badge.
  • Hold the MEM3 key on your badge, and while it is held, power on your badge.
  • You should be presented with a screen asking whether you would like to copy the new game.dat on to the ROM chip.
  • Press MEM3 to confirm the update, and the copy process will start. This process will take about 90 seconds.
  • When this step completes, the game will start.
