I just ordered 3 BlueRetro cores & cable adapters from aliexpress. I guess naiively I assumed they would be plug and play - I was able to connect a DS4 controller to one but my gamecube ports on my wii would not respond (confirmed gamecube controllers worked), so I embarked on how to update the firmware. I've let it go for over an hour with different baud rates each time, and it never seems to finish flashing. These files are like <1MB total so this should not take more than a few minutes in my experience. The blue light on the retro continues hard flashing during this process. What could be going wrong?

Upon further research, this appears to be a duplicate of issues: I notice all of us are using newer versions of ESP Flash Download Tool (3.9.7 and 3.9.6) than the tutorial shows (3.9.5), but older versions are not available to try? |

Ok, I found a solution!! (and the secret may have just been holding the BOOT button as you start the flashing.)
Failure to press BOOT at the right time may look something like:

pip install esptool(might need to install python/pip first)python -m esptool -b 921600 --chip esp32 -p COM7 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size detect --flash_freq 40m 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin 0xD000 ota_data_initial.bin 0x10000 BlueRetro_hw1_gamecube.bin, where you replace the COM port with yours, and the 4 .bin file locations. I chose to put them all on my Desktop and "cd" to it first.ENTER, Hold the BOOT button on the BlueRetro Core.
