Excellent, good to know that you have also updated the second post for future reference and revised instructions. I still need to update the pack. Hopefully in the weekend!
Just a little note not all changes are in the 1_start.bat some of the cd images are called from within the run file from the game folderflynnsbit wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 3:39 am If someone wants to run through that automated conversion that was posted in the forum and test the games, each 1_start.bat will need to be updated to reference the chd. That is easy to do now that their is an update script for the pack on github and each of those files are out there. It's probably a better idea to fork the Top300_updates github and make a CHD version. So the steps for users:
1. run the chd conversion against your cd folder library while leaving the file names exactly the same, except for the extension.
2. update a github fork for CHD version, pull the fork version down locally, find and replace in files with a filter for 1_start.bat and find .iso, .bin, .cue and replace with .chd. Submit a pull request for all those file changes (there should be 140 of them)
3. run the update script for that forked repo from the mister side and it should be good to go.
Code: Select all
base_path="/media/usb0
Correct. That is how it should work. If you are using a usb drive you should remove all references to the folders with the same name on the SD card (for any core, not just ao486). It can cause issues with misterfs and cd mounting on ao486 specifically. Glad you worked through it and everything is working!Alkadian wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 4:55 pm @flynnsbit,
I have finally manged to update the 300 DOS Pack. That's great, thanks!
I would like to report something that perhaps is meant to work like that. If the base VHD is on a USB drive and you change the line in the script accordingly:
you would need to either delete or rename the folder /media/fat/games/AO486 otherwise the script will fail to find the base VHD.Code: Select all
base_path="/media/usb0
Thanks!

Great, many thanks for your further explanations. Looking forward to the next update for the BOOT.VHD as well!flynnsbit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 2:36 pm correct, for now. I am working on a path to update the BOOT.VHD as there are some small config files for a couple of games that need to be there. for now you can just pull down the release manually and add then to C. They are already in the update.zip file.
No updates for cd and floppy needed.

You need to re-download your update file. Don't copy and paste the contents from github, instead, use wget or the zip file linked in the readme, and then extract it to your mister: \\mister\fat\Scripts
Are you running get from the mister itself in an SSH session or from your own machine and copying it?spikemorrissey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 1:27 amflynnsbit wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 8:24 pm Whoa, something is not right there. You should be getting a shell screen that looks like this:

I didnt know it was possible to open up an ssh session directly from the mister! - Is that what I need to do? - if so how do I do that please?!

All you have to do is to make sure that the script is saved in the correct path /media/fat/Scripts and then run the script itself from the Mister System Settings menu where you can see the Scripts option among the others (i.e. Remap keyboard, Define joystick buttons and Reboot).spikemorrissey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 2:18 amI opened up putty on my pc and then connected to my misters ip address ran it from there and then copied it over using binary transfer with WINSCPflynnsbit wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 1:55 amAre you running get from the mister itself in an SSH session or from your own machine and copying it?spikemorrissey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 1:27 am

By selecting the Scripts menu from there you will see all the scripts available including the one you need to update the AO486 pack. In fact it should be the first of the list.
That's very odd indeed. I have tried again from my side and it worked. I can't think of anything else, I am afraid.spikemorrissey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 2:14 pm That's what I do and that's the error message I get. I can successfully update all other cores using the main update script so this is very strange.
Thanks for trying to help.
