Well done. :applaud:
I'll start testing it later today.

However this looks like the most polished way a project like this can possibly be one. Big ups :applaud:

Thanks, guys. ;D
Bruno did an awesome job on the coding. :applaud:
LMK if there are any parts of the documentation (User Guide, images, etc.) that need clarification/improvement.

I just dropped a message to Justin to let him know about the beta release.
With any luck he'll get more MT-DB-U4's in stock soon. ;D
EDIT: Looks like they are back in stock already. :w00t
EDIT2: The product page shows "in stock", but when you get to the shopping cart, it shows "backordered". :dunno

If anyone has an Arduino and wants to try loading the miniArcade 2.0 firmware and EEPROM using avrdude:
1. Install the avrdude programmer.
2. Install the Arduino Leonardo/Mini bootloader driver as per the instructions at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoLeonardoMicro#toc2
3. Configure miniArcade 2.0 Mapper as desired.
4. Click on "Tools -- Save EEPROM config data to file (HEX)..." and save the "EEPROM.eep" file in the "\firmwares\" folder.
5. Rename "EEPROM.eep" to "EEPROM.hex". (both are hex format)
6. Copy the "MINIARCADE2.hex" and "EEPROM.hex" files from the "\firmwares\" folder to the avrdude folder.
7. Find the COM port assigned to the Arduino bootloader. Look in the Device Manager properties screen or the Arduino software under Tools--Serial Port (look for the check mark)
8. Create a "miniArcade2.txt" file with this text in the avrdude directory. (Change "COMXX" to the Arduino bootloader port i.e. "COM7")
--- Quote ---avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P COMXX -c avr109 -U flash:w:MINIARCADE2.hex -U eeprom:w:EEPROM.hex -C avrdude.conf
--- End quote ---
9. Rename "miniArcade2.txt" to "miniArcade2.bat".
10. Launch the .bat file to program the Arduino.
*** Still need to confirm/refine this procedure. Suggestions welcome. ;D ***
------------
If anyone has a Teensy 2.0, the team could use help figuring out and documenting how to load the firmware and EEPROM files onto those boards.

You're right. :embarassed:
