Simply copying/syncing a MiSTer setup to another storage device will break symlinks, turning them into regular files with the content being the path the link was originally directing to.
Issues:
Update will fail to create/update the symlink if '_Arcade Organized/cores' already exists as a file
Cleanup does not remove '_Arcade Organized/cores' (symlink or regular file), so the issue will still persist even after a cleanup
Suggestions:
On cleanup, remove '_Arcade Organized/cores' (mainly if not a link)
On update, check if '_Arcade Organized/cores' is a file (or not a link) and remove it prior to creating the symlink
For extra caution:
If '_Arcade Organized/cores' is determined to be a file, then it could be read/verified to contain the full path to '_Arcade/cores' prior to removal
I figure this is something that general MiSTer users could run into if they maintain multiple MiSTers or change/upgrade storage and a quick check/removal before generating the link would eliminate the issue.
Thanks for all you do for the community!!
