update_all question

Unread post by crusher »

Hi forum,

I have a question to update_all.
I assorted all cores that I'm not using to make the cores list smaller.
When I run update_all will it bring back all the missing cores that I deleted or just update my existing cores?

If you haven't excluded them in the downloader.ini, then yes. You can put something like this at the end of the downloader.ini and filter unwanted cores.

filter = !AdventureVision !Adam !Astrocade !AY-3-8500 !ColecoVision !Odyssey2 !AcornAtom !AcornElectron ....

I never thought of that.
The standard Console and Computer ones aren't that big, it's all the arcade ones, and if you're not using them, yeh makes sense, get a gig back possibly.

I think it's odd every time wonderswancolor.mgl gets downloaded since it is not necessary because the color games run on wonderswan core normally.

Also that autoboot on main menu, any way to remove them for next time I run update all script?
