MiSTer FPGA

The MiSTer FPGA is a set of software for field-programmable gate array (FPGA) development boards that simulates consoles & handheld hardware. This means it can play games with perfect simulation.

BIOS

The MiSTer update_all.sh script can download BIOS files required for each core automatically, so you shouldn't need to source & sort them yourself.

ROMs

igir has support for replaceable "tokens" in the --output <path> option. This makes it easier to sort ROMs on devices that have an expected directory structure. The {mister} token exists to help sort ROMs on the MiSTer. See the replaceable tokens page for more information.

This token can be used to reference each core's specific directory in the MiSTer's games directory.

Replace the E:\ drive letter with wherever your SD card is:

igir copy extract test clean ^
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" ^
  --input "ROMs" ^
  --output "E:\games\{mister}" ^
  --dir-letter ^
  --no-bios

Replace the /Volumes/MISTER drive name with whatever your SD card is named:

igir copy extract test clean \
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" \
  --input "ROMs/" \
  --output "/Volumes/MISTER/games/{mister}/" \
  --dir-letter \
  --no-bios

Replace the /media/MISTER path with wherever your SD card is mounted:

igir copy extract test clean \
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" \
  --input "ROMs/" \
  --output "/media/MISTER/games/{mister}/" \
  --dir-letter \
  --no-bios
