New arcade terms have been added to the list to increase the expressiveness of the filters #MiSTerFPGA

If you only want games compatible with your Tate screen (vertically rotated), you'll have it easier now.

If you encounter any issues with update_all, just run update / downloader once, then you can go back to running update_all as usual.

There was a 20-minute window where a buggy build was briefly distributed.

The vast majority of users shouldn’t have noticed anything unusual.

50K! Next stop 100K so I can get that play button on the wall next to the rest of my “weirdest career ever” items like X-Games and Olympic coach credentials, random hotel keys, ordained minister cert and other stuff 🤣 #RETROGAMING is the newest pivot (thanks everyone!)

Update All is back in Ms. Fusion! Wait.. wasn't a Mr.?

I did a lightweight fork called Ms. Fusion to restore Update All. Otherwise, it’s identical (and will stay that way). Just a bit more convenient to set up.
