Play "Handy" scripts on a Fleshlight Launch

howto
16

So how does it compare to the handy? Can it now keep up with “handy exclusive” scripts?
You kinda answered the question, but i did not fully understood it.

"Will this make the launch as responsive as a keon/handy? In your experience, what is the minimum practical responsive time with this firmware that a launch will handle?

The BLE protocol is the limit here, it will try to push the connection interval down to 7.5 ms, in practice the response time will be higher depending on interference etc."

17

It is definitely capable of keeping up with the really fast scripts on this site, even “vibration” scripts will work (although it might not be able to produce quite the same sensation as a handy due to the larger mass it has to move around)

However, you do still have to send each and every action in real time, interference from WiFi or other bluetooth devices will degrade performance, it is not able to load the script in advance and play it back like the Handy does.

For some reason the page cant find my kiiro keon. Does it only work with the Fleshlight launch?

It will only work with the Launch. As far as I know there are no other devices which use the same or compatible hardware.

There is some issue with slow speeds (1000ms). It seems that launch goes point to point (0-100) faster than script and stops and continue when point (100) passes. I test this on pc with scriptplayer and android with syncydink and both make the same. Fast strokes are fine.

Re-installed 1.3 filmware and everything works fine.
Installed custom filmware again and same issue appeared.

Issue is clearly seen example with THIS script from the very beginning.

Well I’m glad you guys liked version 0.2, because it didn’t even have any of the good stuff!

I had made some changes which weren’t published to Github :neutral_face: Most notably the change in BLE connection interval which is the very thing that was supposed to make it faster in the first place! If you thought it was fast before, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The issue with low speeds is also fixed, control will be even smoother now.

The bad news is you’ll have to go through the slow Kiiroo bootloader process again to update Ignition (as well as updating Liftoff but that’s a breeze)

You’ll find the new versions here:
https://github.com/cfs6t08p/ignition/releases/download/0.3/ignition-0.3.hex
https://github.com/cfs6t08p/liftoff/releases/download/0.3/liftoff-0.3.ign

I have also updated the first post with links to the latest versions

This is pretty amazing! How did you even go about doing this? Did you just crack open the Launch and identify the microprocessor and then moved on with the reference manual for that CPU?

Just poking around the source code - it seems to require xc.h which appears to be part of “MPLAB® XC16 Compiler”. I guess that’s needed to get the code compiling.

Pretty much, it helps that Kiiroo were nice enough to provide their firmware in a completely unencrypted and unobfuscated format. And the fact that the bootloader has no authentication really sealed the deal. As far as firmware hacks go, this one was easy.

Hi !
Sorry to bother you but I can’t access Metafetish’s unofficial Kiiroo firmware maintenance utility because the site is down!
Can you help me so that I can update the launch firmware?

Thanks a lot

25

After this utility not being touched for the better part of 4 years and me not really paying attention to Eroscripts anymore, I was cleaning my CDN account last night and took it down. Timing! :expressionless:

Anyways, site is now back up at the original URL of https://kiiroo-firmware-loader.buttplug.world/

Do not contact me for support issues, I do not have the slightest memory of building this app and cannot tell you how it works. If you want your own copy to work with (or preserve for the next time I try to clean things :slight_smile: ), the repo is at

@cfs6t08p First off, I’d like to thank you for supercharging my FL Launch. You’ve done the launch user base a huge service. I do have a question though.

If I wanted to downgrade from ignition 0.3 to 0.2, would I need to first downgrade to the official Kiiroo firmware first and then upgrade back up to ignition 0.2, or can I go straight back from 0.3 to 0.2? (Edit: you can go straight back to 0.2) I’m wondering because I’m troubleshooting an issue I noticed that started right after 0.3’s installation. The launch and scriptplayer have started to pause for a split-seconds, consistently, mainly on the more intense parts of the script. Thanks in advance!

(Edit cont.) I downgraded back to 0.2 and the pausing/stuttering issue is no longer there. Now I’m wondering if there are versioning issues or setting issues with scriptplayer that makes my setup with 0.3 installed freak out like that. I am running Scriptplayer version 1.0.5 and the latest available version is 1.2.0 so that may be it.

Anybody else with this issue with Ignition 0.3 and Scriptplayer v1.0.5 or v1.2.0?

Under the hood Ignition occupies the same memory as the original Launch application, the Kiiroo bootloader (which is what the firmware update tool talks to) stays untouched at all times.

I assume you are using Liftoff 0.3, what does the blue LED on the Launch look like when ScriptPlayer connects to it? It should pulsate slowly then turn solid. Flashing indicates that it was unable to negotiate the lower connection interval. Which OS are you running ScriptPlayer on?

29

-Yes, it does that

  • I’m running Windows 10

As of now, I’ve downgraded back to Liftoff 0.2 and haven’t had any issues with this version. Maybe I need to update scriptplayer to the latest version for best results with Liftoff 0.3.

I did not realize just how old ScriptPlayer 1.0.5 is, it was released in 2018… There’s your problem :slight_smile:

Thanks a ton for this, it really breathes a whole new life into the Launch, it even syncs better with the pearl now too! No more really bad stuttery movements!

32

I think that bricked my launch. The step 1 went fine, I had a slow puslsating led.
Then Liftoff failed to be flashed.

I read in the comments that I should not click on lock on step 1 so I turned the launch off and on, now the led is flashing red and blue.

I can see the device in the bluetooth devices, but no method 1 or 2 can do something about it. Any suggestion ?

33

Spoke too soon, after 1 hour of attempts it seems that I am able to load ignition again ! :crossed_fingers:
Edit : Ignition is installed successfully now :smiley:

34

I would recommend mode-locking your device after installing Ignition, otherwise you’ll be back in the Kiiroo bootloader if your device is turned off for whatever reason. There is no need to restart the Launch if Liftoff fails to install, reload the page and try again, the update process will resume where it left off.

If you do end up back in the Kiiroo bootloader but already have Ignition installed you can switch to app mode without having to reinstall. Ignition will automatically mode-lock when Liftoff is installed.

First off, thanks dude. :smiley:

This is a game changer, finally got the opportunity today to test this out and it works flawlessly. I’ve had the Launch since it came out and never really used it since the Handy came along.
But now, I think this will be the go to toy from now on!

The manual control buttons on my Launch failed a long time ago, so this was a no brainer doing this upgrade. I’ve also fixed a power supply to the Launch so I never have to worry about battery life ever again, which to be honest the Launch OEM battery wouldn’t last long with this new insane speed!
