Zaparoo MiSTer Database

Official Zaparoo database for the MiSTer Downloader and Update All.

This database installs the MiSTer Zaparoo stack:

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

Install manually

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.

A drop-in config is also published at:

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

How it works

The repository does not store Zaparoo binaries.

The GitHub Actions workflow builds a Downloader database that points at the official GitHub release ZIPs from:

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

Downloader extracts only the required MiSTer files from those release ZIPs.

Maintainer notes

The database is rebuilt on every push to main and can also be run manually from GitHub Actions.

By default it uses the latest release from both zaparoo-core and zaparoo-frontend. Manual workflow dispatch supports overriding either release tag.
