anyone else having issues with this core after the last round of updates ?
Mine freezes at an upside down screen that looks like a broken DIP settings page

I noticed this a few weeks ago. Have you run the update script? You'll get the latest version. The old one on the list is obsolete

Hi Aspie,
thanks. I'll try again, but, yes I did the update all option.
then when it was broken I tried deleting the MRA and ROMs (via the update all script options) and still not good ...
It's all good, I'll flash a new uSD

This means that you have the old MrX .mras still present. Try launching Galaga (Midway, Set 1) from directly under _Arcade.
For some strange reason, symlinks are not created if you manually copy the alternative .mras from the github release folder on your SD card. Let's wait for the bot to pick 'em up (I've notified @theypsilon about the issue several days ago)

I'm not seeing these 2600, 2700, and 2800 bin files in any Galaga mame zip...

Mister searches mame zip files by CRC first, not file name. I think it still falls back to filename if the CRC doesn't exist.
Regardless, those files exist in the roms, just not with those file names. For example 2600j.bin is actually gg1_9.4l

reporting back - i blew away all the MRA & ROM files (via the update script) and set each option to no last sync
so in theory all fresh ...
same issue, so i assume its the MRA looking for the wrong ROM files, or the MRA is correct and the wrong ROM files are being downloaded.
any guesses to which it is ?

Hi,
I ran update_all.sh for the first time since May and now Galaga and its alternatives won't start, just as described by the OP.
Showing:
Code: Select all
RAM OK
ROM OK
UPRIGHT
1 COIN 1 CREDIT
5 FIGHTERS
RANK A
SOUND 01
1ST BONUS 30000 PTS
Has anyone found a fix? Should I try reformatting the MicroSD and starting over?

I cant work out why the updater is broken, it pulls the same file, but it's named differently ..
anyway the not broken MRA/RBF set can be grabbed from here
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-Galaga_MiSTer
and all is well in the world again
