I have updated the fork with the following improvements:
The latest binary is currently MiSTer_20240328, and it also carries the latest changes from the original repository not yet released in a stable public version, so until there is a new official version, use this one with caution.
-
New attribute for setname tag -> cfgcore_subfolder="1" (MGL)
-
New entry for MiSTer.ini -> cfgcore_subfolder="MiSTer"
-
New entry for MiSTer.ini -> cfgarcade_subfolder="Arcade"
-
Now the attribute is cover instead of path.
The subdirectories of the covers now have a more intuitive structure, based on the names of the cores:

New MiSTer.ini entries
cfgcore_subfolder will allow us to set a subfolder within the config path to hold all the default MiSTer configuration. If not specified, config will be used directly as before. Before using it, it is a good idea to create it manually and move all config content to take it from there. If the folder does not exist, it will be created automatically.
cfgarcade_subfolder will allow us to separate the arcade game configuration into a separate subfolder from the default cfgcore_subfolder or default config path when cfgcore_subfolder has not been defined. If cfgarcade_subfolder is not defined, the configuration of arcade games will be mixed in the same config directory.
Code: Select all
[MiSTer]
loading_txt_up=1 ; Set to 1 to position the text on the top of the loading screen. Default is 0(bottom).
waiting_txt_up=1 ; Set to 1 to position the text on the top of the standby screen. Default is 0(bottom).
cfgcore_subfolder="MiSTer" ; Uncomment to set the subfolder in config where the cores configuration will be by default.
cfgarcade_subfolder="Arcade" ; Uncomment to set the subfolder in config where the arcade cores configuration will be by default.
