PS3: Remove title id from name #363

Closed exp111 closed 2 years ago

exp111 commented 2 years ago

When I import a game with the folder format ' ', the parser also uses that same name for the steam shortcut. This just looks weird and should probably be trimmed.

I don't think many people have multiple versions of the same game (and other parsers also don't attach the EU/US tag), so it should probably default to trimming the title id

Did you forget something inside those quotes? Is it something like The Last of Us [BCES01585]?

There's already an option to remove things inside {parentheses} and [brackets].

Adding the title in brackets like 'Demons Souls [BLES00932]' parses fine into "Demon's Souls". The problem is that rpcs3 wants "Demon's Souls BLES00932" as a folder name, otherwise it doesn't show in the game list (maybe there's a way to change this?).

Can you name it just the title ID? That way, Steam ROM Manager will get the title from customVariables.json

RPCS3 won't recognize only the id, and that would also make organising a pain. The id is always in the format ABCD12345 so why not just do a .* ([a-zA-Z]{5}\d{5})

I just tried it, and it didn't seem to care what the folder was named.

exp111 commented 2 years ago

If you choose a folder which contains multiple games, it only shows those in the specific formats. If you choose the game folder directly it doesn't matter (afaik).

But if you work on a device like the steam deck, going through file explorers suck (or any desktop mode stuff without a mouse+kb)

So the real issue isn't that the title id isn't removed, but rather that the parser can't parse the default rpcs3 naming

exp111 commented 2 years ago

So uhh you're right. I thought emudeck added those games automatically but as far as i can see rpcs3 doesn't have any automatic game directories (and I think I forgot that I added the games?). Tl;dr: just put the title into brackets.
