Downloading game info fails #35

Closed cromerc closed 6 years ago

cromerc commented 6 years ago

thegamesdb.net api has changed, this causes the info download to fail.

This is the new api: https://api.thegamesdb.net/

Apparently it requires an apikey which I assume would would be needed from the people that run thegamesdb.net.

The latest commit should get it working again for the time being using their legacy site. See here for downloads of the latest commit: https://github.com/dh4/mupen64plus-qt#development-builds

I've put in a request for an API key from them and will work on implementing their new API once I receive that.

The commit here implements version 2 of their API: https://github.com/dh4/mupen64plus-qt/commit/ffec5ce9c2163c41330194b62f4b5dcf3d8a3a42

I will be releasing version 1.12 soon to incorporate the change since the older versions can no longer download information and images from their API.
