This bash script automates the process of updating MiSTeX cores for different platforms. It uses sparse checkout to efficiently download only the necessary files for the selected platform, reducing bandwidth usage and storage requirements.
- Supports multiple platforms (A100T, A200T484, A200T676, K325T)
- Efficiently updates cores using Git sparse checkout
- Remembers the last used platform
- Allows manual platform selection
- Provides a cleanup option to remove the Git directory
- Bash shell
- Git
- Clone this repository or download the

- Force platform selection: ./mistex_updater.bash -a Copy
- Specify a platform: ./mistex_updater.bash -p A100T Copy
- Clean up the Git directory: ./mistex_updater.bash -c Copy
The script manages cores in the following directories:
/media/fat/_Arcade//media/fat/_Console//media/fat/_Utility//media/fat/_Computer//media/fat/_Other/
The script stores the selected platform in /media/fat/mistex_platform.ini.
