Check for updates should be optional. #531

There should be an option like "Check for updates automatically?" which you 
could turn off.

Why?

1)  I've installed a forwarder wad but every time there is a new update (which 
seems to be quite frequent) I have to install a new one.  I thought forwarders 
were supposed to point to the boot dol on the sd card which should be replaced 
during an update but for some reason it never works so I have to find and 
install a new one for the latest version.

2)  I've never experienced a problem with any of Tantric's emulators so I feel 
no need to update it all the time.  Plus, with some of the updates, old save 
states no longer work and I want to keep them operational.

I find it annoying that every time I boot up an emulator, I get that update 
dialogue box and have to click "Update later".  This is especially a problem 
when there is a delay in connecting to the net so I click on a rom at the exact 
same time the dialogue box pops up (this happens more frequently than you might 
expect) which freezes the system and I have to power cycle.  

Thanks for listening!

I'm on a forwarder myself, and updates are fine for me. Make sure you have the 
emulator's boot.dol in the folder path specified by the forwarder, or try to 
look for a new one if there's a problem with the one you're using. I could also 
send you the one I have, if you'd like.

I hear you, but it's my project and I've chosen to force updates. Sorry, not 
going to change that.

But you're not forcing updates- I can still choose not to.  You're only making 
it more annoying and I don't see why that's necessary.
