How Would I Go About Updating the Linux Portion of MiSTer Manually via FTP?

[Waifu4Life]

Following my topic here: viewtopic.php?p=51244#p51244

I don't use scripts, I manually update my cores via FTP. How do I update the Linux portion of MiSTer via FTP, what do I download?

That will depend on what has changed on the Linux side.

That could vary depending on what has been updated for Linux and what The mister project has decided to include from those changes.

It could be literally every file on the system, could be only a couple depending on what needed to be fixed.

This is funny, I'm not sure anyone knows how to update the linux image without a script... certainly not finding much.

I think that I should just make a new image and put back my games afterwards.

UPDATE 1: Well Linux was updated using the latest MiSTer SD Card Utility and it didn't fix my analog stick issue.

UPDATE 2: Using another MicroSD card, I did a clean install and then used the update script. I configured my 8BitDo Pro+ and then tried the Input Test, still doesn't work, so I'm out of idea.

what update script did you use the update script or update all or downloader.also you my need to run the update script more then once.

The script that the MiSTer SD Card Utility downloaded:

is it the mr-fusion card image if not you try to download and use it.
is you version of mister Mister v220511, OS v220413

I formatted the SD card and tried MiSTer-Fusion (which did download v220511), but it didn't work, analog inputs still don't work in MiSTer Input Test.
