  1. Copy the Scripts and zaparoo folders to the root or your SD card

There are 3 files required:

  • Scripts/zaparoo.sh - development version of Zaparoo Core
  • zaparoo/MiSTer_Zaparoo - a fork of Main which launches the launcher
  • zaparoo/launcher - the launcher
  1. In your MiSTer.ini file add the following lines to the [MiSTer] section:
main=zaparoo/MiSTer_Zaparoo
alt_launcher=zaparoo/launcher
  1. Start or reboot your MiSTer, the launcher should start automatically
  2. If you've never used Zaparoo Core before, follow prompts to update the media database
  • Press B on the main menu of the launcher to exit back to the stock OSD
  • Reboot to relaunch the launcher
  • Comment out the lines you added to the .ini file to disable the launcher

Cover art

  1. Use a scraper app which supports generating gamelist.xml files. Skraper on the Recalbox setting can do this. There should be a gamelist.xml file per MiSTer system folder
  2. When it's finished scraping, from Launcher, go to Settings and select Scrape metadata
  3. Wait until it's done and then cover images should automatically display in game results
  • You can run Scrape metadata repeatedly to pick up new metadata, it will skip existing
  • You don't need to set a specific image size or generate thumbnails
