All-in-one script for keeping up-to-date with the MiSTer ecosystem.
This script chains the following scripts:
- Main MiSTer Updater. Downloads most of cores and firmware. You are able to select between these two options:
- Official Main MiSTer Updater maintained by Locutus73 in the MiSTer-devel organization.
- DB9 Fork Main MiSTer Updater with Extended Native Controller Compatibility for Genesis and NeoGeo/Supergun controllers. Requires SNAC8 compatible adapter.
- Jotego Cores Updater. Downloads many advanced cores made by Jotego.
- Unofficial Cores Updater. Downloads some cores that are not yet released but are fairly stable. Disabled by default.
- LLAPI Cores Updater. Downloads LLAPI cores which are compatible with BlisSTer and LLAMA. Disabled by default.
- BIOS Getter download bios for your installed systems from https://archive.org/
- MAME and HBMAME Getter download roms from https://archive.org/
- Names TXT Updater. Downloads a community curated names.txt file that enables better core names in the menus.
- Arcade Organizer. Creates a folder structure under
_Arcade/_Organized
for easy navigation to all the MRA files.
This script also contains some snippets from the Updater script maintained by Locutus73.
Download this ZIP file and extract update_all.sh
to your /Scripts
folder on your primary SD card.
Then turn on your MiSTer, go to the Scripts menu and run this script from there.
It will take around 30 minutes the first time you run it, but later runs should take much less time.
Other setups that might be useful for you:
- JTBIN ZIP: Users that would like to download @jotego betas by default, can use this setup instead. You may also enable this option from the
Settings Screen
in the "Jotego Updater" submenu. - usb0 ZIP: For people using USB as primary storage. You will be able to run this script from there and install all cores, roms, and MRAs on
/media/usb0
. - DB9/SNAC8 ZIP: Enables Extended Native Controller Compatibility for Genesis and NeoGeo/Supergun controllers.
NOTE: You should extract also all the INI files contained in these.
Check updater-pc to download all the MiSTer files from your PC.
Useful if you can't connect your MiSTer to internet.
In case you would like to configure Update All so it downloads exactly what you need, you can do it through the Settings screen.
The Settings screen will show up if you press UP in your controller or keyboard during the countdown showing up right after starting update_all.sh
in your MiSTer. Please, don't forget to select SAVE
to keep all the changes you have done before leaving.
