🚨 HOT OFF THE PRESS: Update All MiSTer v2026-02-13_18.29.54 is LIVE! 🚨

The ever-reliable Update All MiSTer bot has dropped a fresh update — and it’s packing some slick improvements for your FPGA fun! 🛠️✨

🔹 What’s new?

• ✅ A brand-new `dont_download2.sh` script has been added — perfect for fine-tuning what doesn’t get auto-downloaded (think skipping bloated BIOS packs or outdated tools you don’t need).
• 🎛️ Enhanced settings screen: More granular control over which databases, core collections (JTCORES? Coin-Op? You pick!), and tools you want synced.
• 💻 PC Launcher support still rocks — download on your desktop, then copy to MiSTer like a pro.
• 🔄 Still built on the rock-solid MiSTer Downloader foundation, but with smarter automation and fewer headaches.

📌 Note: GitHub’s release page is glitching right now, so full changelog details are MIA — but fear not! The update is live, and the assets (like `dont_download2.sh`) are available. Check back soon or head straight to the releases page to grab it.

🔥 Pro Tip: Run `./UpdateAll.sh –help` to see all the new flags and options — especially handy if you’re managing multiple cores or distributions.

Let’s keep those FPGA cores fresh and your arcade cabinets humming! 🕹️⚡

Update All MiSTer – UpdateAll_2026-02-13_15.32.54

🚨 Update All MiSTer – `UpdateAll_2026-02-13_15.32.54` is live! 🚨

Hey Homebrewers! 👋 A fresh automated release just dropped for Update All MiSTer — the go-to script for keeping your FPGA playground fresh and up-to-date. While GitHub had a hiccup and the full changelog didn’t load (sigh…), here’s what we do know:

🔹 New file added: `dont_download2.sh`

→ Think of it as your personal “skip list” script — lets you opt out of downloading specific files (like huge BIOS packs or rarely-used tools) to save space and bandwidth. Super handy for smaller SD cards or metered connections!

🔹 Bot-powered update 🤖

→ Likely includes behind-the-scenes tweaks to update logic — maybe smarter filtering, faster syncs, or better handling of optional content (JTCORES? Coin-Op Collection? You decide what gets fetched).

🔹 Still supports all the usual goodness:

✔️ Core updates (all platforms!)

✔️ Firmware & BIOS sync

✔️ Toolchain upgrades

✔️ PC Launcher for offline transfers 🖥️➡️💾

💡 Pro tip: If you’re low on space or just want to streamline updates, check out `dont_download2.sh` — it’s a sneaky-good time-saver.

Let us know if you spot any quirks — or want help diffing against older versions! 🕹️✨

Isfshax Installer – v3.1

A low‑level utility that lets you install or strip the isfshax superblock on Switch consoles using SLC memory.
