Is there a way to ignore specific cores?

Unread post by EvilRyu »

I am not a newcomer to MiSTer but I have a doubt that probably many have. Is there a way to tell the update or update_all scripts to ignore certain cores? While I love the nature of MiSTer and the constant progress and new cores being released, I find myself only using a handful of them on a regular basis and don't like having to scroll through the list.

I know one workaround would be to stop update_all from organising the core names and adding a ZZZ in front of the cores I don't use to make sure they fall to the bottom of the list use but it's not pretty.

Thank you, I completely forgot about that setting!

I have got it working now but I see that one of the limitations of doing this is that it doesn't work with the newer downloader if you are using the update_all script with the default settings. It is not the end of the world and I have configured it to use the old update.sh one but now the update process takes a lot longer again. Oh well, you cannot have everything!

The new updater has configuration options listed as a planned feature, so just give it time and it should get there! It looks like it's also intended to get integrated into the main MiSTer menu too so that'll be nice.
