I also encountered this issue in China and cannot open this address. How to solve it, thank you

if Browser download, please use this link:if browser download

Guys, Greetings from China,
I solved it by manually downloading and extracting hex file plus a few lines of code modification.

Here are the steps:

1. download zip file from "https://downloads.scratch.mit.edu/microbit/scratch-microbit.hex.zip" on browser or wget
2. extract zip file to static/microbit。
3. check "static\microbit\scratch-microbit-1.2.0.hex" exist
4. modify function "downloadMicrobitHex" in "scripts\prepublish.mjs" as follow to skip downloading and extracting, and read hex file directly from local instead.

const downloadMicrobitHex = async () => {
    const relativeHexDir = path.join('static', 'microbit');
    const hexFileName = "scratch-microbit-1.2.0.hex"
    const relativeHexFile = path.join(relativeHexDir, hexFileName);
    const relativeGeneratedDir = path.join('src', 'generated');
    const relativeGeneratedFile = path.join(relativeGeneratedDir, 'microbit-hex-url.cjs');
    const absoluteGeneratedDir = path.join(basePath, relativeGeneratedDir);
    fs.mkdirSync(absoluteGeneratedDir, {recursive: true});
    const absoluteGeneratedFile = path.join(basePath, relativeGeneratedFile);
    fs.writeFileSync(
        absoluteGeneratedFile,
        [
            '// This file is generated by scripts/prepublish.mjs',
            '// Do not edit this file directly',
            '// This file relies on a loader to turn this `require` into a URL',
            `module.exports = require('./${path.relative(relativeGeneratedDir, relativeHexFile)}');`,
            '' // final newline
        ].join('\n')
    );
    console.info(`Wrote ${relativeGeneratedFile}`);
};

@JiafengLiao thanks!

[cocospy]

excellent solution！

上边的朋友说得对，遇到这个问题的基本都是中国的，翻墙软件似乎并不能让npm翻墙
就是用浏览器下载https://downloads.scratch.mit.edu/microbit/scratch-microbit.hex.zip
加压后放在static\microbit\scratch-microbit-1.2.0.hex
最后修改scripts\prepublish.mjs中的downloadMicrobitHex函数代码看上边那个朋友的

按照上面给出的方案，可以正常运行成功；但是我在运行 npm start 启动的时候，报错：
ERROR in ./src/generated/microbit-hex-url.cjs
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './....staticmicrobitscratch-microbit-1.2.0.hex' in 'D:\Scratch\Scratch-Testing\scratch-gui\src\generated'
请问有没有什么好的解决方案？

是完全按照步骤来的吗？看起来像是路径问题

[jfyear1994]

@Applewan generated/microbit-hex-url.cjs
module.exports = require('./../../static/microbit/scratch-microbit-1.2.0.hex');

还是没有解决，该怎么办
