The nightlies are built from the code FPGAzumSpass loads up on the public Github.

Stupid question. Do you still have to run this core with dual SDRAM chips? Or can you keep the I/O board with one SDRAM chip?

Disclaimer: use at own risk, not responsible if anything catches fire or the like.

I just made this script to update the MiSTer-unstable-nightlies PlayStation Core.

EDIT: 2022-02-07
1. Before starting with anything: run update_all first
2. Download the zip below and unpack it to /media/fat/Scripts
(source @ https://github.com/Akuma-Git/misterfpga)
3. Run unstable-update_psx-nightlies.sh from scripts
4. If asked run unstable-update_main-nightlies.sh

EDIT: 2022-01-30
Updated script to display latest commit date

EDIT: 2021-12-23
Launching it from the scripts menu will do the following:
  • updates itself (unstable-update_psx-nightlies.sh) if a newer version is found on github
  • updates PSX core to latest unstable version
  • renames all /media/fat/*/PlayStation directories to /media/fat/*/PSX if PlayStation name is detected
  • downloads unstable-update_main-nightlies.sh into /media/fat/Scripts (to update /media/fat/MiSTer)
  • checks github for latest commit
After you 'cold reboot', the core is in a new submenu called _Unstable

That's it.

Special shoutouts to:
@FPGAzumSpass for his brilliant work on the PlayStation core :medal:
@theypsilon for his public builds of unstable nightlies :muscle:

I tried the script but it didn't work for me. There's no unstable submenu.

EDIT:

It works for me now

Just wanted to say thanks for setting up this nightly builds for everyone. It's nice to see the PS1 running on the mister. Brings back a lot of memories when I was in my 20's.

Very nice script! I would recommend creating a GitHub repo where the script can perform a self update when a new version is found. Maybe a simple date check would be enough to see if a newer version has been uploaded versus manually updating the script. Or brute force it and have it replace itself once downloaded successfully.

Thanks for simplifying the process!!!

Try it: https://github.com/Akuma-Git/misterfpga ... ghtlies.sh
Let me know if it works out.

EDIT: (updated the url)
TLDR: stay on dec 18 if you just want to play. Otherwise there is some maintenance. The core has been renamed from PlayStation to PSX. This has impact on all directories with the PlayStation name:
  • Controller mappings
  • Save-states
  • Games folder

There is no menu.rbf in the db_unstable_nightlies_folder.json, does this occur often or do we have to wait a few days for stable to catch up?

Is it only me or are the new nightlies (PSX) not loading any games?

Edit: Should've paid attention to the posts before mine. Updated main MiSTer and everything is working now.

I'm stuck. I put the new PSX.rbf in the consoles dir and renamed PlayStation folder to PSX, and did an update all. When I launch the PSX core I get the logo, but like above I get no bins. Just cue's that don't do anything when I select them. What am I missing?

Update all doesn't fetch latest unstable mister main, you need to get it from here and replace your MiSTer file on the sdcard with it:

Performed some cleanup... renaming PlayStation to PSX, updated the script and it downloaded the latest version. Works great and thanks for streamlining the process!!!

Is this one-time only or does this happen more often?
(eg: do I need to add it to a script?)
