Using the toolset
See the forum post for more information: https://community.arduboy.com/t/arduboy-toolset/11227
FAQ
The toolset doesn't run on my system
Windows
The toolset targets Windows 10+. The targets for Windows and Mac are determined by PyInstaller, so I don't have control over the very high targets (I'm sorry).
MacOS
The toolset targets the latest MacOS. The targets for Windows and Mac are determined by PyInstaller, so I don't have control over the very high targets (I'm sorry).
If you are having trouble opening the app, you may have to follow special instructions to get MacOS to "trust" the app, since it is unsigned: https://community.arduboy.com/t/arduboy-toolset/11227/69
Linux
The toolset targets Python 3.8 and QT 6. I know that's a weird combo, I'm sorry.
If you suspect you are having a different issue, please open an issue on Github or leave a post on the Community thread.
Windows/etc is reporting the toolset has a virus
Virus detection is imprecise and basically all programs built with Pyinstaller will be flagged as a virus. I understand if this causes you not to want to use the program, but you should know this is a widely known issue that doesn't seem able to be overcome at this time.
How do I get to the so-called "cart editor"

How do I get the latest games on my flashcart?
