New launcher available for config and updating directly from the browser at https://launcher.gblink.io

  • Settings persist across power-offs — your LED colors and preferences are now stored on the adapter
  • In-browser firmware updates — update directly from the launcher; no more holding BOOTSEL from this version on.
  • More reliable mode switching — the adapter now switches cleanly between games/tools that need different modes requiring less reboots

New script available for managing Linux permissions to allow WebUSB connections.
