Arcade MRAs not downloaded

Unread post by werpu »

Hi I have a problem, I cleaned up all the update caches updated to the latest update script deleted the _Arcade folder and after running the update Script I ended up with with an _Arcade folder which has everything except the mra files.
which means I have an _Arcades/cores folder, but not any mra file under _Arcade.

Any idea? I saw in the history that there was a similar issue last year caused by github, maybe it is the same!

Yup, same problem here. I was trying to create a fresh sd card following the steps on the wiki using mr. fusion image.

Same issue here as well while setting up a new new card. Inside the _arcade folder I have the _alternates folder along with it's mra files, and the cores folder. But none of the primary mra's are being pulled down that live in the root of the _arcade folder.

Seems like a widespread issue: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Updater ... /issues/65

be aware of deleting your old mras until this is fixed!

I've also been informed by a new user that the scripts folder isn't being populated with the additional scripts. Part of the same issue?

Could be the last time something like this happened was when github changed something ...

I think you need to check if you have any cached files (usually hidden folders of the similar name as the scripts) from last successful run of the scripts in your scripts folder and clear them to do a full update as by default it will only pull down any updated files since last time.

This is happening on a completely fresh install, either using MrFusion or the old fashioned "manual method" of setting up an sd card. There are no previous logs / cache files from previous runnings of the script as it will be the first time the script has run on a new sd card, I've only discovered this after trying to help out a new user, and a few users on Discord are also having similar issues. Locutus73 is now aware aware of the problem and will be looking into it shortly.
