community alternative firmware
Unofficial GPL-3.0 SC26 OS v2.0 by BP for the SAINTCON 2026 rocket badge, published October 29, 2026. It adds a boot self-test and splash, a GIF player with edge-colour LED matching on a USB drive named SC26 GIFS, an NES emulator for user-supplied ROMs, and a DOOM engine for a user-supplied WAD, and keeps the original badge firmware selectable from its menu. No ROMs or WADs are included. Not a SAINTCON release.

Secondary first-hand community source, dated October 29-30, 2026. It corroborates the 16 MB flash and the stock Wayfarer v0.1 extent of about 1.5 MB, puts the seven buttons on GPIO16, 17, and 19-23 and the nine WS2812 LEDs on GPIO24, and keeps GPIO4 and 5 (the EEPROM bus) out of its code. It says the stock firmware resets its saved EEPROM state when a certain button combination is held at start-up, and that the dual-boot image ran on one badge, whose owner confirmed the three-second menu. Restoring a backup has not been tested on hardware. It is not an organizer document.

Secondary first-hand community source, first published on October 28, 2026 as REABadge and renamed on October 29, from static analysis of a dumped original firmware image (SHA-256 37ee8a7e3f256ff92f115e830acb147439ed3cca07f37f0b0e82160069b298fd), cross-checked on one badge over USB. It supports the stock game, console, station protocol, EEPROM save, and unsigned-boot claims in this record. The dump's UF2 info file reports an RP2350 boot ROM. The write-up gives 4 MB flash, while redactd's notes give 16 MB, so flash size stays unresolved. It also publishes CTF flags and unlock codes, which this record leaves out.
