MiSTer FPGA Forum

In gamesmenu I see Genesis (which I think is labeled "old") and Mega Drive. When I enable MD in gamesmenu and generate the menu everything works fine, but if I exit the script and then start it again the MD option has been disabled. All of the other cores that I've enabled stay enabled.

I can confirm this happening on my MiSTer as well. It doesn't seem to cause any problems but I just exited the menu after confirming.

in my extremely limited testing the problem seems to be

/media/fat/names.txt

specifically the line (line number 114 in my file);

MegaDrive:          Genesis

needs to be changed to;

MegaDrive:          MegaDrive

and then you can change the name of

/media/fat/_Games/_Genesis

to

/media/fat/_Games/_MegaDrive

or delete the folder (all of _Games or _Games/Genesis) and. re-run the script. It no longer shows [NO] for the default under MegaDrive if I have already generated a menu.

Hope this helps somebody.

Should this be fixed upstream? Still happening here.

it does not appear to be fixed

after the last update I had to reapply the fix

cp /media/fat/names.txt /media/fat/backup.names.txt
sed -i "s-MegaDrive:[[:space:]]\+Genesis-MegaDrive:          MegaDrive-g" /media/fat/names.txt

sed -i 's-MegaDrive:\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Genesis-MegaDrive:\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ MegaDrive-g' /media/fat/names.txt

I did some reading and evidently you only need to escape the first space

evidently I read wrong

if something goes wrong your original names.txt is first copied to /media/fat/backup.names.txt
