MiSTer Frontend Startup Hotfix
· One min read
A recent MiSTer update introduced a newer Linux kernel that stops Zaparoo Frontend from opening. A hotfix is now available through Update All.
The newer kernel changed how Frontend can access the display, so it quits before anything appears on screen. The standard MiSTer menu still works.
To install the fix, open MiSTer's Scripts menu, run Update All, then reboot your MiSTer. You can run Update All while Frontend is unavailable, and no configuration changes are needed.
The hotfix restores Frontend on the new kernel without changing how it runs on older versions. If it still will not start after updating, let us know on Discord or Frontend GitHub.
