Linux, Main, Menu:
- Improvements in BT pairing from c0d3h4x0r
- Update Midilink to latest version.
Is there a special procedure or script to update the linux install or is that done all through the standard update scripts?

The main update script will update Linux if you have it enabled in the ini.

Heya gsargent!
Just to drill into specifics-
Your ini file should have a line that says:
Here is an example of my own ini file below:
- /media/fat/Scripts/update.ini
Code: Select all
UPDATE_CHEATS="once"
UPDATE_LINUX="true"
PARALLEL_UPDATE="true"
MAME_ARCADE_ROMS="true"
MAME_ALT_ROMS="true"

I guess I botched my Linux update. All I get now is a gray checkerboard pattern upon booting. I'll recover from that, but does the pattern mean anything specific?

I think it is one of the background which can be selected via F1. Try pressing F1 and see if something happens.

Nope, well and thoroughly b0rked. Not much of a problem because I have backups and had half a mind to start over anyway.
