[Feature Request] Add symbolic links for cheat file locations #278

Open OdinVex opened 1 year ago

OdinVex commented 1 year ago

I'd fork and create a pull request, but I'm a bit busy at the moment, and I'm not sure if the project would prefer a different way of handling things besides assuming to use linkToSaveFolder to create symbolic links for cheats, such as linkToSaveFolder pcsx2 cheats ~/.var/app/net.pcsx2.PCSX2/config/PCSX2/cheats. Thoughts? Would prefer if files could be kept on my SD and loaded from SD instead of flatpak so that my own pnach files don't get lost on flatpak witchery.

I was about to request the same, but saw this already here. If it hasn't been done by now I don't think it will be for a while unfortunately.

I've come across a slew of issues that won't be fixed for EmuDeck, so I just run a bash script to fix everything after any update/install. I'm currently trying to add some functionality that automatically sets all 'console-specific' inputs to an input profile made for them. For instance, I find it completely stupid that the emulators for GB/C/A/SP all use buttons that don't conform to the old console layouts. I played a lot of RPGs and it's stupid as all **** to hold 'B' while pressing 'A'. I use 'A' for A, 'X' for B. It's like using the console, something the button layouts were specifically chosen for on the old consoles. You can't perform certain actions in some games without the layout being correct. EmuDeck should use console-layout by default (physical) and offer to set up inputs in the screwed-up way if people want them.
