Disable Bootcore Timeout in Arcade Games

Unread post by Alkadian »

Hi guys,

I have managed to start my favourite arcade game when MiSTer boots up by editing the .ini file.

I would like to disable the boot core timeout. However, if I comment the line bootcore_timeout=10 the game won't start at all.

Any help/hint would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

What did you edit in your .ini file to load an Arcade core on start-up? I can get anything but an Arcade core to load on start-up

I have just edited the line below:

bootcore=arcade_game_name.mra

The only thing is that I cannot disable the timeout option. It's odd as it works perfectly with computers and consoles. Indeed every game I set in the .ini file boots directly into the core with no timeout, but perhaps that's the way is supposed to function.
