Slot Profiles Not Loading, or the Cabinet Starts in Safe Mode

If you uploaded profiles into the slots and holding a slot button at power-on still starts the default profile, or the cabinet restarts in Safe Mode, older firmware used far more of the Pico's storage per profile than needed, so with every slot in use the last file could not be saved. Fixed in v8.0.13.1 and later.

1. Update both chips (Appendix A).
2. Upload your slot profiles again in GUIConfigTool → Profiles tab.
3. If GUIConfigTool reports that a profile can't be saved, choose Device → Full Factory Reset and upload your profiles again. This erases every stored profile and all the calibrations, so afterwards calibrate the plunger and the accelerometer again (Plunger Calibration and Accelerometer Noise Calibration chapters).
