A few months back I released the first version of a wireless Bluetooth mod for the NES Advantage stick. The main feedback I got was:

• Make it work with the Switch!
• Make it work with the NES 8BitDo Retro Receiver!
• Make the battery life better!

Version 2 does all that, plus:

• Improved controller latency.
• Added a web config app for testing and configuring the mod.
• Added over the air (OTA) firmware updates.
• Works with the 8BitDo USB Adapter 2, for Switch 2 support.

Sadly the v1 board won't work with these new features, but if you have a v1 kit, all you need is a new v2 board and it's a drop in upgrade.

Also, still no USB-C charge port. I want this to be a no-cut mod, and a USB-C port just won't fit.

It's still 100% open source, you can build your own:

I also have a few prebuilt kits if you don't want to assemble it yourself.

Enjoy!

I tried posting this on the r/epilogue but the mods removed it because they have a "no reddit support" rule, which I really think is a don't report problems publically rule.

Anyway, certain cart revisions of Super Mario World aren't recongized by the SN Operator. Specifically the first revision SNS-MW-USA. The second revision SNS-MW-USA-1 works just fine. I've tested multiple carts and made sure they are all cleaned and tested in a real SNES.

I'm sure they'll address it in a future firmware update, but it goes against their "all retail games work" claim.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this. I think the product is cool overall. Though my other gripe is the tightness of the cart slot. I really have to yank the carts out sometimes and worry about wear and tear.

*UPDATE*

Had a great debug session with u/exogen . We got SMW, Contra, and a few other games working. I imagine those fixes will be rolling out in a firmware update soon.
