The upgrade to Update All 2.0 only happens within MiSTer, not with the updater-pc btw.

Any way to simply change the overall font for scripts shown in the console? Default font is huge on my 1084s crt. And the whole console screen gets shifted to the left. (I'm using this screenmode for the main menu, which is the only thing that really works for me.)

Thank you for bringing us this huge milestone! Every module seems to have been "up-tuned", and the script runs faster than ever.

However, there's something strange going on with the bios_db sequence; upon first run yesterday, it has deleted the bios files from my ..fat/games/PSX folder specifically, but doesn't download them anew.

No big deal as I put them back on manually once I'd figured out what's happened, just something that you might want to investigate (sorry, can't file a github issue).

[Edit]I think the problem hides in here somewhere,

Code: Select all

"PSX": {
        "boot.rom": {
            "file": "SCPH7001.BIN",
            "hash": "1e68c231d0896b7eadcad1d7d8e76129",
            "size": 524288
        },
        "boot1.rom": {
            "file": "SCPH7000.BIN",
            "hash": "8e4c14f567745eff2f0408c8129f72a6",
            "size": 524288
        },
        "boot2.rom": {
            "file": "SCPH7002.BIN",
            "hash": "b9d9a0286c33dc6b7237bb13cd46fdee",
            "size": 524288
        },
        "sbi.zip": {
            "file": "sbi.zip",
            "hash": "706d60ab2dfdbfdd53be2069cb85a1fe",
            "size": 218953
        }
    },

as it doesn't convert SCPH700..bin into boot..rom according to build_db.py at line 44

I've run Update All 1.4 a few times with Downloader activated from the Miscellaneous menu (there has been no pop up so I've activate it manually). It's done the usual job but I'm still on 1.4. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Could you try again? I updated the launcher recently to insert some ntpdate mitigation code and forgot to update the MD5 hash for it on the 1.4, which needs to be correct for the migration to Update All 2.0, but now it's fixed.

Thanks, it worked! Thanks for all of the incredible work everyone does here.

Update All removed most of the cores in the YCConsole folder and added links to empty folders. As far as I can tell, the YC functionality isn't yet included in most of the standard console cores, at least I couldn't find the YC option in the menus...

Does anybody know the difference between updateall, update and downloader script? Thx

The downloader concerns only what is in the official repository: cores, mras, Linux, MISTer Main ... It is used by the update all script for the official downloads and can also be configured to download everything else.
I am not sure for the update script but as the update all script is not official the update script can be used after a fresh install to update MISTer.

See these new lines in mister.ini.

vga_mode=rgb           ; supported modes: rgb, ypbpr, svideo, cvbs. rgb is default.
ntsc_mode=0            ; Only for S-Video and CVBS vga_mode. 0 - normal NTSC, 1 - PAL-60, 2 - PAL-M.

Always check the online mister.ini for settings for new features, the updater will not overwrite or add them to your existing mister.ini!

OK, thanks. I saw discussion here in the forum about the new framework but I didn't see a mention of ini changes.
