[Switch] Save State Timestamps #2012

Open ChordMankey opened 3 years ago

ChordMankey commented 3 years ago

Hi, would it be possible to get save state timestamps on the switch as it gets difficult to find the save state I wish to load/replace sometimes using just the preview. I would really appreciate this!

This was originally proposed in #146 (the frontend code is mostly shared between all of the homebrew ports via what's known as mGUI), but I have yet to get to it. Having this broken out as its own issue seems like a good idea though.

So the specific thing holding me up from implementing this is that opening a file on the 3DS is very slow, for whatever reason, which makes loading the states even for just the screenshot takes a long time. I'm unsure if it'll be faster without the screenshot being loaded, but since the 3DS and Switch frontends share a codebase, I've been trying to assess the feasibility of this before committing to implement it.
