[MGL Core Setnames] for the MiSTer Platform
❗ Most of these are now part of MiSTer-devel but this repo will be used to test before being added to Distribution_MiSTer.
A preset pack of core shortcuts (MGL files) which enable alternate configs for cores that support multiple systems or input devices.
Download all mgl files to the /media/fat/_Console/
folder on your SD card.
You can automatically download and get latest with the MiSTer update script and update_all by adding the following text to /media/fat/downloader.ini
:

db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RGarciaLago/MGL_Core_Setnames/db/db.json.zip
Once you've installed the MGL files you can launch them like you would any other core!
Additional notes:
- These core shortcuts are MGL files that use the
<setname>
option. - MiSTer will treat these core shortcuts as a new core but will need folders named the same as the
<setname>
. - You can rename the
<setname>
but if you do after the config files are created you'll need to manually rename them to keep the same settings. - Use your names.txt file to change the name of the MGL files so they show up how you prefer.
- You can use symbolic links to avoid file duplication if you wish to keep all games in the original core's folder.
