When loading the nes core, it always boots to FDS now?

Since a couple of mister updates I did, using update all, now when I run the nes core the fds boot screen appears and there is an annoying loop sound that keeps while I dont load a game.
Anything I can do to fix this?

I didnt understand what to rename to what.
I will wait for a fix via updater then.

In the /media/fat/games/NES/ folder, rename boot0.rom to something like fds-bios.bin.
Rename it with a .bin so you can manually load it when you want to run FDS games.
Then when a fix is in, rename it back to boot0.rom.

To get the grey screen back, just copy "boot0.rom" to "boot1.rom". The core won't actually load it (because it's not a valid NES ROM), but it'll stop it from loading the FDS BIOS.
Alternatively, place a blank FDS image (it must have the 16 byte header) in the folder to have the the FDS BIOS load properly (without the annoying sound) by default.

thanks it worked,
just the annoying loop sound that continues when selecting the fds bin file. But I can live with that for now,

Just out of curiosity, how did this core end up broken anyhow? I mean, what would have caused this to happen? Same thing with the Genesis core just suddenly going wonky.
