GC Loader stopped working after FW update to 2.0 beta #28

Hi, my GC Loader stopped working after I updated the fw to 2.0 (it was initially 1.12 when i got it from aliexpress). Now all I see is a red error message "the disc could not be read" as soon as I switch on the console. Before that, I was able to boot to Swiss and browse folders, however it wouldn't boot isos from the same sdhc card, saying this - "Disc does not contain valid word at 0x1C". Now I have no clue how to fix this..

Are you sure it’s a legitimate GCLoader? Genuine units are sold at https://www.black-dog.tech/gc-loader-pnp.html and I am not aware of any authorized dealers on aliexpress. Have you contacted the seller?

Well, I would buy it from black dog tech in a first place, but Out of Stock sign stopped me from doing it.. I was hoping to find some info on how to restore the device to its original firmware. Any tips on that?

Contact the aliexpress seller.

Your probably screwed. Aliexpress sell clones, so it must have bricked on the 2.0 beta update.
