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 official releases from:

• ZaparooProject/zaparoo-core — Core launcher script
• ZaparooProject/zaparoo-frontend — frontend binary and menu core
• ZaparooProject/Main_MiSTer — latest stable MiSTer_Zaparoo binary

Downloader installs only the MiSTer files it needs. Main updates independently of frontend releases so regular upstream MiSTer changes reach users promptly.

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, zaparoo-frontend, or stable Main_MiSTer release tags. Defaults use latest Core and Frontend releases plus stable Main.
