Question: Save updates to /media folder without appending _Consoles/_Arcade/etc folders #15

Closed Chromagram closed 2 years ago

Chromagram commented 2 years ago

Hi there,

Is there any way to set the downloader to update and install the files I want straight into the /media folder instead of adding the associated _Console folder or any other similar folder? I don't use a ton of cores so I'd love to just run the script and keep everything clean. This way, I can just boot the MiSTer, and immediately see the cores in the list without entering additional directories.

(Unless this is already possible)

If you are experienced in programming, you could set your own custom database to have that structure: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Downloader_MiSTer/blob/main/docs/custom-databases.md

I have baseline knowledge of coding, so I don't think this route will go best for me. It's not a major inconvenience, so I'll stick with the additional directories. Thanks :)

No worries!
