Re: MiSTer Downloader Tool

Thanks for your answers. I was able to update MiSTER and MAIN.rbf manually via ssh, so the problem is not critical. With the old update script everything was working fine. This is the behaviour of the new script, where the author tried to update the main file in an atomic statement. For some unkown reason, it tires to back up the main mister files ...

Re: Cannot Update Main MiSTer Using Update All

eh, nevermind. You've decided what the problem is, and there's no way to convince you otherwise. Not really. The downloader supports the files to be split on different volumes. There is no need to have everything either on the internal SD or the USB. The donwloader.ini is configured accordingly. I would like to have the cores and scripts on the in...

Re: Cannot Update Main MiSTer Using Update All

Your fundamental problem is that you've plugged in a new hard drive *after* downloading everything to the SD card, so that the update script is getting confused. You've got some files on the SD and some files on the HD, which is an unanticipated configuration. Absolutely not correct. My configuratuin was set up way before the "new" updat...

Re: Cannot Update Main MiSTer Using Update All

OK, the Python documentation clearly says, that the "os.replace" function may fail (this is the situation in my case) if the source and destination files are on different filesystems. Fresh install is temporary solution, the problem arise as soon as there is a new update necessary.

Re: A0486_Update_Top300_Pack script rsync errors

Thanks for the thorough reply! It looks like a failed updated did something to the VHDs and left them in this state. I didn't catch it because they launched fine in the AO486 core and i could get to games and stuff. I still had the original VHD files on my computer so after copying them over to the external HD I use for the MiSTer and running the ...

No. The part of the update process is to update the content of this VHD.
