Gotek flashing without serial adapter

Just in case anyone is too cheap to spend the €0.99 for a serial adapter to flash your Gotek, and has a USB-A to USB-A cable lying around -

Great to know. But sadly I don't think there will be made any more cortex firmwares. But this is nice to know for people buying a Gotek with PC firmware on it and who wants to flash the Cortex firmware

Very nice, just had a drive arrive to flash for a friend... got this to work on Win10 x64, previously always had to revert to an old XP machine to flash with a serial adapter.

Thanks, it was a pain in the butt to do it with my serial adapter with WinXP.
My next Gotek will be done with your method.

Doesn't matter. HxC now develop firmware for Gotek hardware as well.
