Aliens beta core
JTKIWI public release (TNZS, Extermination, Insector X)
Is it me or is the RBF missing from this?
From Update All
Installed:
jtkiwi.rbf, jtcastle.rbf, Arkanoid - Revenge of DOH (World).mra, Kageki (World).mra, Dr. Toppel's Adventure (World).mra, The NewZealand Story (World, old version) (P0-041A PCB).mra, Extermination (World).mra, Insector X (World).mra, MRA Alternatives + other files.
Yes, Aliens Core was missing. You can copy it manually though.
If you are talking about Alioens it did not download the rbf.
This core is in beta and only available to Jotego Patrons.
If you are not a patron update all usually downloads the rbf, the zip but not the mra. You can download the mra manually but it is not useful as it won't be unlocked.
The strange thing with today's update is that update all downloaded the zip but not the rbf. There has been a recent update to update all/downloader so it is possible that it does not download the rbf for non patrons but I doubt it as it downloaded jtcastle.rbf which is also in beta.
I am a patron and it didn’t download
You can get it, along with the mra, from here:

aliens MRA downloaded for me from update all so maybe that's fixed now
I just ran update all again. Now the rbf downloads.
Is New Zealand story loading ok for others? For me I get the beta software message.

I am not a patron so don't have one, but I thought it was a public release now?
Only Aliens is beta, all others are public and load properly.
Delete jtkiwi.rbf and any other jtkiwi_xxx.rbf if they exist.
Delete all the mras:
Arkanoid - Revenge of DOH (World).mra
Dr. Toppel's Adventure (World).mra
Extermination (World).mra
Insector X (World).mra
Kageki (World).mra
The NewZealand Story (World, old version) (P0-041A PCB).mra
Run update all again and you should be ready to go.

Thanks for your advice! This did the trick, it's loading fine now.
Did you have a jtkiwi_xxx.rbf or only jtkiwi.rbf?
When is aliens going to be available for everybody in update all ?
How long does it usually take

I dont think there's a set timeline, only jotego knows.
In this case deleting just jtkiwi_xxx.rbf would have been enough. What happened is that when you started the mra MISTer looks for the most recent core and a core with a DateStamp is considered more recent than a core without.
You should check if you have other jt cores with a DateStamp in their name. If you have delete them.

Very interesting, I wasn't aware of that - I will have a check! Thanks again.
