Hi, everybody.

I want to add additional sources for "Downloader" and create following ini-file "/media/fat/downloader.ini":

[bios_db]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BigDendy/BiosDB_MiSTer/db/bios_db.json
[arcade_roms_db]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BigDendy/ArcadeROMsDB_MiSTer/db/arcade_roms_db.json.zip

But after this, "update.sh" starts to update only sections which describe in "downloader.ini" (it is "bios_db" and "arcade_roms_db") only and does not update main system (Linux, _Arcade, _Console and etc.).

Is there a way to tell the"downloader" that these two sections ("bios_db", "arcade_roms_db") are additional sections and not override of the main update plan?

NOTE: If you manually add custom databases, you might want to make sure that you also have a [distribution_mister] section. That way you'll still be downloading the content from MiSTer Distribution together with the content from the custom database/s that you introduced.

Thanks @12characters!

The following "downloader.ini" file works well:

[distribution_mister]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MiSTer-devel/Distribution_MiSTer/main/db.json.zip
[bios_db]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BigDendy/BiosDB_MiSTer/db/bios_db.json
[arcade_roms_db]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BigDendy/ArcadeROMsDB_MiSTer/db/arcade_roms_db.json.zip
