FAQ
update_all is the main way to update a MiSTer. If you use update_all and AMMiSTer together, they will clash a bit. The main difference is AMMiSTer only works with arcade games. But update_all updates arcade games and consoles, computers, linux, etc together. So if you use update_all to get the latest console and computer updates, it will populate the arcade folder with all the games and mess up whatever plan AMMiSTer put for arcade games.
update_all's organization script also conflicts with AMMiSTer.
You can minimize this conflict be setting AMMisTer to speed exports
More on resolving this conflict to come as AMMiSTer development proceeds.
It just hasn't been implemented yet. If you use the alternative arcade games, AMMiSTer won't work for you ... yet.
If your plan has a favorites directory, it's a bit special. It can only have games, not folders. You can drag games into it, or just favorite a game (click its star) to add games to it.
AMMiSTer is not signed, which is a way to help convince Windows and MacOS that AMMiSTer can be trusted and won't do anything bad to your computer. I promise it won't hurt your computer :) When AMMiSter is done and fully mature, I'll then work on getting it signed to avoid this problem.

You can't, yet. AMMiSTer will check from updates from the main MISTer update db, as well as Jotego, Theypsilon and Atrac17. Adding (and removing) update dbs is coming.
So far AMMiSTer can't tell if the files on your MiSTer are the same as the ones it has. Out of precaution, it will copy files in case they have been updated or changed. This will hopefully be improved in the future.
