MiSTer FPGA Forum

Today I ran the update all script in order to get the new 32X core and a bunch of several unannounced updates, dated 04/17, also came up:
_Arcade/_alternatives/_Mystic Marathon/Mystic Marathon (prototype).mra
_Console/AtariLynx_20220417.rbf
_Console/GBA_20220417.rbf
_Console/S32X_20220421.rbf
_Console/WonderSwan_20220417.rbf

S32X was expected, the update of the mra was kind of expected as there was a post stating that the rbf name in the mra was wrong. The other updates have never been announced.
Are the console updates going the same way as the arcade updates which are never announced on "MiSTer Updates & Changelog"?

There was also a bunch of Jotego updates which I won't mention are these arcades are not official.

At the end of the script there is also a summary which in this case shows several errors. What are these errors?
/media/fat/Scripts# _Arcade/_alternatives/_Mystic Marathon/Mystic Marathon (prototype).mra
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/media/fat/Scripts# _Console/AtariLynx_20220417.rbf
-bash: _Console/AtariLynx_20220417.rbf: No such file or directory
/media/fat/Scripts# _Console/GBA_20220417.rbf
-bash: _Console/GBA_20220417.rbf: No such file or directory
/media/fat/Scripts# _Console/S32X_20220421.rbf
-bash: _Console/S32X_20220421.rbf: No such file or directory
/media/fat/Scripts# _Console/WonderSwan_20220417.rbf
-bash: _Console/WonderSwan_20220417.rbf: No such file or directory

I checked and the files are all there.

I also noticed that while Gameboy and GBA receive updates such is not the case for Gameboy2P and GBA2P:
Gameboy_20220326.rbf
Gameboy2P_20211121.rbf

GBA_20220417.rbf
GBA2P_20210702.rbf

i think the news just hasn't relesed the news for those cores.
AtariLynx_MiSTer Release 20220417, Update Sys
GBA_MiSTer Release 20220417, Update Sys, Organize OSD options
WonderSwan_MiSTer 20220417 Update Sys, Optimize OSD

you can go to mister-devel https://github.com/MiSTer-devel
and go to the GBA_mister and there you can see files updated press the updated file and go to history press Release 20220417, Update Sys, Organize OSD options. and there you see the updated files changes

Doesn't seem like a reason not to mention them I don't think this forum is for official cores only. Jotego cores are frequently discussed.

/media/fat/Scripts# is the Linux prompt in this case. For some reason, something (the downloader script?) was trying to execute the downloaded archives from the command line as if they were Linux executable files. I have no idea how that could have happened. However the errors are clear: in four cases it's trying to execute a file that is in _Console/corename.rbf, and since that path is relative to the current path (/media/fat/Scripts) and _Console is not inside Scripts, it's complaining about the fact that it doesn't exist. As for the first error, in the Linux command line the parenthesis has a special meaning, and since it's not used properly it's erring on that before it has time to complain about the non-existing file.

To tell you the truth it is nore because of laziness: it is quite a few cores but not that many mras so I would have to go from rbf to mras. In the update there are all the CPS cores for example.
