ROM Hack Downloader

Open Libretto7 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Lets the user list and install available romhacks which are compatible with their roms.

EDIT: Todo list

  • [ ] place hacks in "hacks" subdirectory
  • [ ] RomM-compatible hack names "Hackname [v1.2][variant].gba"; for translations "Basename [English][v1.2].gba"
  • [ ] add type ("translation" or "full hack") entry to db
  • [ ] make it possible to update hacks (and back up save games)

To test this, have Super Mario World (USA) in $roms_folder/snes and/or Super Mario Bros. (World) in $roms_folder/nes (uncompressed).

It's probably better to insert the compatible base crc32s and paths into the database instead of the bash dict. This will make it easier for Godot to access this info
