MagTag build stuck in boot-loop

[brentru]

Describe the bug
Two users report that loading the magtag build of WipperSnapper results in a boot-loop. The WIPPER drive briefly appears, followed by the device resetting. This seems to be specific to the magtag.

After replacing demoboot bin with adafruit-wippersnapper-esp32s2-magtag-1-0-0-beta.3.uf2 from bootloader mode, the first reset results in solid red indictors.
Subsequent resets result in a flash of blue/cyan followed by a reset.
The WIPPER drive appears briefly.

Same process (with proper .uf2) works fine for FunHouse.

I attempted to load WipperSnapper on to my MagTag. After loading the MagTag keeps resetting....Nope, didn’t work. It boots, then resets, boots, resets, etc. Is it just me?
OS: Windows 10

Same issue, user shamste

I have a MagTag 2.9" I am trying to install Wipper Snapper on and after I drug the firmware onto the MAGTAGBOOT drive, it boots, shows up in Finder (I'm on a Mac Big Sur) for a second and then reboots, forcing a dismount, and then remounts for a second, reboots...

Any suggestions?

Temporary fix (so far) is re-installing TinyUF2 bootloader

Repro:
erase the ESP32, burn tinyusb combined binary, and then drop the Beta.3 uf2 on

This may be fixed in Beta.4, Dylan and I both tested this to be OK.

I've released new firmware and am monitoring the users on the forums: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=181544&p=886148#p886148

User confirmed it's working

First, you work too late. I hope you love what you do. I just wrapped a 16hr day and there is zero love there! (totally my fault)
Second, it worked! MagTag is online and button presses (seemed like a good test) are working as expected. You rock!
The neopixels do flash green every few minutes, but it doesn't seem to be an issue so I'll assume that's a positive feedback thing. I'll report any oddities that I come across.
