micropython-camera-driver VS BlueRetro

I've downloaded the 1.4MB firmware (https://github.com/lemariva/micropython-camera-driver/blob/master/firmware/micropython_camera_feeeb5ea3_esp32_idf4_4.bin) and flashed it and every time I do, it gives me an infinite loop. Corrupted files. I've tried flashing it from ESPtool in the terminal and also within Thonny, same result. I don't know what I'm doing wrong because the firmware completes flashing without errors. I've also tried the other firmware (https://github.com/lemariva/micropython-camera-driver/blob/master/firmware/micropython_cmake_9fef1c0bd_esp32_idf4.x_ble_camera.bin).

All of these things work fine for me on dev boards. I am using a Camera enabled https://github.com/lemariva/micropython-camera-driver firmware here that comes with Micropython.

I do plan to do an internal BlueRetro mod at some point (so I'll be able to connect controllers without dongles) but I'm waiting til this issue is hopefully fixed.

best i could figure out is that he did this. https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/wiki/BlueRetro-DIY-Build-Instructions maybe there is something better?

https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro This is the GitHub page with tons of different links to different sellers. I would try my chances there.

It’s already available and fairly easy to build yourself: https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro

This issue is documented on the BlueRetro github, where it is the 5th-oldest reported bug, as well as by far the most commented. This issue has been known for at least a year and a half. Will's Console Modifications used to have this bug listed on the UnoRetro page, but they removed it - even though the bug still hasn't been fixed - which means you have to use the Internet Wayback Machine to verify on an old version of their website that they knew about it.

The official BlueRetro docs have great instruction on how to install the code and pair controllers, but for internal installs I'd recommend nostalgic-influences wiring diagram.png) if you're like me and have trouble reading electrical schematics.
