update_all Without Internet Connection Issues

Unread post by Testpilot »

So, due to the layout of my house, my MiSTer is nowhere near my router.

I'm doing the initial setup and due to the lack of ethernet connection, I couldn't use the standard Update All option. So, instead I turned to the MiSTer Downloader PC Launcher, which worked great with a few caveats.

I want to download the additional items found here, like the JTCORES and Coin-Op Collection, but I can't access the Settings Screen, since I can't run Update_All through the MiSTer itself. So I did some searching and found out that I can potentially edit the "downloader.ini" to get those items through MiSTer Downloader PC Launcher.

But I'm not seeing downloader.ini in my standard MiSTer directory (MiSTer_Data) with the other files. I'm not seeing the Media/Fat directory some folks mention.

So questions:

  • Is there an example downloader.ini somewhere I can download?
  • Is the downloader.ini perhaps on the other partition that Windows can't read? Is there perhaps an alternate way to get at that?
  • Or, since I used the PC Launcher, is there an alternate ini I can edit to download the additional cores and tools?
  • Or do I just need to download all of these manually?
