Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
You need your own copy of the official bitbox micro firmware version 2.3.4 from 1010music (the mod can't include it).
In your browser (easiest): open the web patcher, choose your stock 2.3.4 MICRO.bin, and save the modded MICRO.bin it gives you. The file never leaves your computer: the page patches it locally. If your browser saves it as MICRO (1).bin because the stock file is in the same folder, rename it to MICRO.bin. Then copy it to the microSD card as in step 3 below.
Or with Python 3 (built into macOS; on Windows get it from python.org):
- Download releases/bitlex-micro-v0.2-patcher.py (the newest patcher in the releases folder).
- In a terminal, run it on your stock firmware file: python3 bitlex-micro-v0.2-patcher.py "path/to/stock/MICRO.bin" It checks that the file is the right stock firmware, then writes the modded MICRO.bin into a modded folder next to the patcher, so your stock file is never overwritten.
- Copy the modded MICRO.bin to the root of the microSD card and install it the same way as an official 1010music firmware update (see 1010music's bitbox micro update instructions).
The modded file is about 11.7 KB longer than the stock one (the mod's code is appended at the end).
