Hey community
Let me explain the bunch of problems Im having, introducing myself and the recently purchased GBS C unit into the next madness.
First of all, this was a gift from my wife and because of that, I am not very familiar with the system.
So, after unboxing and plugging the system by 5V, my first console to test was the Dreamcast, by SCART, had perfect audio by HDMI but a grey faded screen for the Video, unable to see the video image correctly. After connecting the yellow connector directly to the Composite green plug, hada white signal but somehow not working properly.
After that, I connected the Gamecube, by SCART, having a perfect image and being able of upscaling or changing the resolution on the OLED with the rotary encoder. All was ok with the Gamecube system.
So, after this "mini" victory, I did a comeback to the dreamcast, having the same impossible to play situtation, as explained before.
AND NOW, comes the problem. I get the excellent idea of "updating" the firmware of the GBS C by following the paper printed manual, page 14:
1) First step downloading and installing the Node MCU py flasher
2) after finding the official GBS CONTROL MASTER zip, flashing the gbs-control.ino into the system having the following message:
esptool.py v3.0
Serial port COM3

Staying in bootloader.
Firmware successfully flashed. Unplug/replug or reset device
to switch back to normal boot mode.
The result is the following.
NOT working anymore, system seems to stay blocked or damaged. No blue led, not WIFI network, not upscaling or being detected while plugged to the TV like before. System appears to be KAPUTT
Understanding that the vast knowledgments of you all, could help me, I have to say thank you to anybody which could help me to exit this situation. And after putting the unit to work again, any tip for the Dreamcast could be very useful too.
In advance, thank you for your reading and help.
