How to disable cheat downloads using update all script

Unread post by 80sArcadeKid »

With limited space on my MiSTer, can anyone tell me where I can disable the downloading of the cheat zips?
And anything else not related to Arcade Cores. Thanks!

For the cheats: start the script and go to the menu, it is in the Main Updater section.
For things not related to Arcades you would have to use the old updater within the update all script instead of the new downloader and edit the ini file to exclude what you do not want. Search the forum, it is in there. Or someone who used this feature could help you.

You will need to select the old update system from the update all configuration menu.

I've not updated my arcade setup in a while but this is the 'update.ini' I used in the past, it should still work, this setup did not download cheats, nor any other cores apart from NeoGeo and Arcade.

Code: Select all

DELETE_OLD_FILES="true"
DOWNLOAD_NEW_CORES="true"
REPOSITORIES_FILTER="NeoGeo"
REPOSITORIES_NEGATIVE_FILTER="AcornAtom ADCTest AliceMC10 Altair8800 Amstrad ao486 Apogee Apple-I Apple-II Aquarius Archie Arduboy Astrocade Atari800 Atari2600 Atari5200 Atari7800 AtariLynx AtariST AY-3-8500 BBCMicro BK0011M C16 C64 Chess Chip8 CoCo2 ColecoVision EDSAC EpochGalaxyII FlappyBird Galaksija Gameboy Gameboy2P GBA GBA2P Genesis HT1080Z Interact Intv Jupiter Laser310 Life MacPlus MegaCD Minimig MSX MultiComp NES Odyssey2 ORAO Oric PDP1 PET2001 PMD85 QL RX-78 SAM-Coupe SAMCoupe SharpMZ SMS SNES Specialist Svi328 Ti994a TI-99_4A TomyScramble TRS-80 TSConf TurboGrafx16 UK101 VC4000 Vector Vector-06C Vectrex VIC20 WonderSwan X68000 ZX81 ZX-Spectrum ZXNext"

Thankyou! This is EXACTLY what I wanted, NeoGeo and Arcade. Brilliant. I will try it out. :D
