Tada68 Remapping on Mac

Wanna remap your TADA68? Of course you do, especially if you're like me and use a Mac.

STEP 1 — Visit the editor

Click here to visit the site. This website is a piece of absolute horse shit. Enable flash and prepare yourself. View the notes section of this doc for some helpers. Once you're pleased with the layout, compile and save it into your Downloads folder. Name it FLASH.BIN (all caps).

STEP 02 — Mount TADA68

Plug in TADA68, hit reset button on bottom. This should mount it to your machine. Find it? Good. Now open a terminal.

STEP 03 — Run the following commands

Command	Purpose	Note
cd /Volumes/TADA68\ \ /	Go to the TADA68 directory	Note the space after "/"
ls -a	Show all files currently in directory. You should see something like FLASH.BIN, ._.Trashes, .Trashes, .., ., .fseventsd	You can skip this.
rm FLASH.BIN	Get rid of that old shit.
cp -r ~/Downloads/FLASH.BIN /Volumes/TADA68\ \ /	Copy over the fresh FLASH.BIN from the shit site.	This assumes the flash is in your downloads. Note that this is case-sensitive.
rm -rf .Trashes/ .fseventsd/ ._.Trashes ._FLASH.bin	Throw out that useless shit - some of which your mac adds because I don't fucking know why.

STEP 04 — Unmount the TADA68

After ejecting, type away baby! TADA!

Notes

Wanna map the function keys? Note that the momentary press option, which is the second choice in the dropdown at the time of writing, produces the traditional results of pressing a function key.
