MiSTer FPGA Forum

Just ran an update_all and noted it downloaded new .rbf files for Psychic 5 japan & world.
Just as before when these were released, they were non-functional.

Open the rbf file in a text editor and locate <rbf>
it will show 'Arcade-Psychic5' or similar
Edit this to only show Psychic5
Save and enjoy

All fixed.

Nope it works fine.

Can confirm-
Just attempted to launch and it immediately kicked back to the menu.
Ran update_all, kicked back to menu.
Moved Psychic5* out of tree, update_all, kicked to menu
Edited MRA to remove Arcade- and it now launches

edited to add that when I run the Japan version it fails stating something like 'missing games/mame/..5.zip/p5a and when I checked the zip p5a is missing.'

Also instead of editing all the MRA files it may be easier to change the name of the rbf file or create a symbolic link

Confirmed not working without editing the mras.

Hi. I'm the developer and I'm aware of a problem. Something happened when I moved the files I was originally working on in my repository to MiSTer-devel, I will fix it in the next few days, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Raki,
Thank you for the info and thanks for the efforts!
Very much appreciated.

You never know, if you try asking nicely.

The dev knows about it, so there's no rush surely?

If you need to play them;
if you can access the command line of your MiSTer

ln -s /media/fat/_Arcade/cores/Psychic5_20240617.rbf /media/fat/_Arcade/cores/Arcade-Psychic5_20240617.rbf

if you don't have access to the command line make a copy of the file and rename the copy to Arcade-Psychic5_20240617.rbf and put it in the same directory.

I just used update_all

Every thing works as it should. Thanks to the developer!

Code: Select all

ln -s /media/fat/_Arcade/cores/Psychic5_20240617.rbf /media/fat/_Arcade/cores/Arcade-Psychic5_20240617.rbf

if you don't have access to the command line make a copy of the file and rename the copy to Arcade-Psychic5_20240617.rbf and put it in the same directory.

Or just edit the MRA or rename the core to what the MRA requires. People are too reliant on update all. Have a look in the MRA its just a text file.

…or rename the core to what the MRA requires...

I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m suggesting? Sure seems easier to change the name of 1 RBF rather than edit multiple MRA files.
