Figure 1: The firmware for the PiBoy can be updated as newer versions are released.

We have recently released updates to all of our software. There was previously a bug with our osd and shutdown scripts that rendered PiBoy’s unbootable. This has been fixed in the most recent release. When updating the scripts and firmware you should update the osd and shutdown scripts BEFORE updating the firmware.
The firmware has also been updated to allow dimming of the power LED as well as fixing a display issue when using the HDMI out for extended periods of time. The most current version of the firmware is 1.0.2. You can verify this by looking in the changes.txt file after unzipping the firmware download.
