CHANGELOG

Update 18/7/2026 - Added pico-snesPlus emulator to pico-bootLoader_sdcard.zip

Initial release of a resident .uf2 bootloader / front-end for the RP2350 retro-emulator family (pico-infonesPlus, pico-pcePlus, pico-genesisPlus, pico-smsplus, pico-peanutGB, …).

General Info

Binaries for each configuration and PCB design are at the end of this page.

Getting started

For board-by-board wiring, supported display modes and more refer to the pico-infonesPlus documentation. The set of supported boards and their pinouts is identical between the two projects.

  1. Flash the bootloader. Download the loader .uf2 for your board. Hold
    BOOTSEL, connect the board over USB, and copy the .uf2 onto the
    RP2350 drive. See Supported Hardware in the README.
  2. Prepare the SD card. Download pico-bootLoader_sdcard.zip from the same
    Releases page and unpack it onto a FAT32- or exFAT-formatted card. The
    archive contains the emulators, the Doom port, the menu artwork, and a
    sample configuration file.
  3. Run it. Insert the card and power on the board. The menu appears.

Metadata

Download the full metadata pack here and extract it to the root of the SD card. This should create a /metadata folder on the card.
