Feature Request - Get Title ID from text filename in game folder #2

Open jimbob4000 opened 3 years ago

jimbob4000 commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to get the Title ID by including a text file in each games folder? The name of the text file would be used for the Title ID, the file itself would be empty.

Reasoning, I'm interested in using the no-intro title numbers from DAT-o-MATIC. Bubbles could be shared in the community without sharing roms, provided they use no-intro sets in the right location.

Using the no-intro ID's would also make cover matching possible for an app called Hexflow

Hi! Thanks for the feature request and sorry for the delay, I hadn't seen this till now 😬

So if I understand you correctly, there'd be a file in a games folder who's filename would be used as the Title ID and the contents of the file irrelevant? 

.
├── Bubble Images/
│   ├── GBA/
│   │   ├── Pokemon - Fire Red/
│   │   │   ├── icon0.png
│   │   │   ├── startup.png
│   │   │   ├── bg.png
│   │   │   └── RGBQIX000
│   │   └── ...

Where RGBQIX000 is the Title ID of the ROM or any other compatible ID

No worries, yes I think you've got the concept, not sure if it's worth implimenting.

The text file feature may also be useful if people want to remake a bubble with updated artwork and overwrite a previously installed app vpk.

I'm not too fussed, don't work on this just for me, only if you think it's worthwhile. I don't think Hexflow will be implimenting retro systems, don't let this influence you, perhaps a fork will in future.

Thanks
