The MiSTer comes with a minimal Linux OS. Hit F9 at the main menu to get to a prompt. Log in as root with the password 1.

Ones that are useful for moving ROMS off of a network server:

• Midnight Commander: mc
• ssh
• rsync
  • The rsync on here requires -zz if you want to use compression

For mounting some systems' drives to modify them:

• losetup, which you can use to mount an AO486 drive to move files around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oK0O5jl9ck

losetup -Pf /path/to/drive/img
mount /dev/loop1p1 /mnt

The MiSTer will mount the SD card in the DE-10 as /media/fat and everything else as /media/usb#. When running a core, the MiSTer will walk through the drives in fat → usb# order, looking for the first games/? directory that matches when displaying a filelist. /media/fat also contains the MiSTer OS stuff in the linux folder, and that will be replaced whenever the OS updates.

The Commodore Amiga and AO486 can handle networking.

• Network side
  • Assign two static IP addresses to your MiSTer
    • Use one for normal MiSTer networking
    • Save the other one for PPP
• MiSTer side
  • Edit /media/linux/ppp-options
    • At the bottom of the file, add <ip address for normal networking>:<ip address for PPP>
  • Ensure the core has UART set to PPP
• Core side
  • When setting up PPP, use the PPP address as your address
