IMPORTANT: You must upgrade to the latest MiSTer before installing Pixelcade.

Note this installation is for Pixelcade LCD marquees only. Use this installer for Pixelcade LED marquees.

From a computer on the same network (Ethernet or WiFi) as your MiSTer, SSH into your MiSTer using the username of root and the password of 1.

Then issue this command:

curl -kLO -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alinke/pixelcade-linux/main/installer-scripts/setup-mister-lcd.sh && chmod +x setup-mister-lcd.sh && ./setup-mister-lcd.sh

Note in the command line -kLO is the letter O and not the number 0

After the installation has finished, reboot your MiSTer and then your Pixelcade should be changing dynamically as you browse and launch games from the MiSTer Front End.

If Pixelcade is NOT changing, then SSH back into your MiSTer and run this command manually to see what is happening.

cd /media/fat/pixelcade/ && ./runpixelcade.sh

If it is not changing after that, then open this file

/media/fat/MiSTer.ini

And ensure that this line is present in the file (the installer script should have added this line automatically):

log_file_entry=1

For reference, Pixelcade has been tested on MiSTer V220413 and V210906

For LCD specifically,  you may need to run the above command repeatedly until you see that IP address has been detected.

For LCD for MiSTer, you must also disable scrolling text. Scrolling text can be disabled using this URL from any browser on the same network as your MiSTer.

where xxxxxxxx is the unique ID of your Pixelcade LCD
