With limited space on my MiSTer, can anyone tell me where I can disable the downloading of the cheat zips?
And anything else not related to Arcade Cores. Thanks!

For the cheats: start the script and go to the menu, it is in the Main Updater section.
For things not related to Arcades you would have to use the old updater within the update all script instead of the new downloader and edit the ini file to exclude what you do not want. Search the forum, it is in there. Or someone who used this feature could help you.

You will need to select the old update system from the update all configuration menu.

I've not updated my arcade setup in a while but this is the 'update.ini' I used in the past, it should still work, this setup did not download cheats, nor any other cores apart from NeoGeo and Arcade.

Code: Select all

DELETE_OLD_FILES="true"
DOWNLOAD_NEW_CORES="true"
REPOSITORIES_FILTER="NeoGeo"

Thankyou! This is EXACTLY what I wanted, NeoGeo and Arcade. Brilliant. I will try it out.
