Zaparoo MiSTer Database

MiSTer Downloader / Update All database for Zaparoo.

It installs:

• Scripts/zaparoo.sh — Zaparoo Core for MiSTer
• zaparoo/frontend — Zaparoo Frontend
• zaparoo/MiSTer_Zaparoo — frontend dependency
• zaparoo/menu_zaparoo.rbf — frontend dependency

Manual install

Add this to /media/fat/downloader.ini:

[ZaparooProject/Zaparoo_MiSTer]
db_url = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZaparooProject/Zaparoo_MiSTer/db/db.json.zip

Then run downloader or update_all.

There is also a drop-in config ZIP:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZaparooProject/Zaparoo_MiSTer/db/downloader_ZaparooProject_Zaparoo_MiSTer.zip

Binaries

This repo does not mirror Zaparoo binaries.

The workflow builds a Downloader database that points to the official release ZIPs from:

• ZaparooProject/zaparoo-core
• ZaparooProject/zaparoo-frontend

Downloader extracts the MiSTer files it needs from those ZIPs.

Maintainer notes

The database rebuilds on pushes to main, on a schedule, and when run manually from GitHub Actions.

Manual runs can target specific zaparoo-core or zaparoo-frontend release tags. Otherwise the workflow uses the latest release from each repo.
