MiSTeX
MiSTeX is fully supported by Zaparoo and is identical to MiSTer in terms of functionality and features. The only difference is in how Zaparoo is installed.
File Paths
| Item | Path |
|---|---|
| Config file | /media/fat/zaparoo/config.toml |
| Data directory | /media/fat/zaparoo |
| Log file | /tmp/zaparoo/core.log |
| Mappings directory | /media/fat/zaparoo/mappings |
The /media/fat directory is the top level of the SD card. The /tmp directory is deleted when MiSTeX is powered off.
Install
Download Zaparoo Core for MiSTeX from the Downloads page and copy the zaparoo.sh file to the Scripts folder on your SD card.
Run zaparoo from the MiSTeX Scripts menu. A prompt will offer to enable Zaparoo as a startup service.
Using FileZilla? Enable binary transfer mode per these steps. FileZilla incorrectly detects zaparoo.sh as text and will corrupt it.
Readers
All readers are supported. See MiSTer for platform-specific notes.
Supported Launchers
All launchers supported by MiSTer are also supported by MiSTeX (as far as MiSTeX itself supports them):
