NanoBoyAdvance would be much easier to install on a lot of distros if a flatpack would be provided

See #261

As this is labelled with help wanted, is there any more Help you need?

I might try to make a flatpak package later. Flatpaks need a unique id in reverse DNS.

What ID should NanoBoyAdvance have? It should be a domain which you control, but if none is available then we could find a workaround.

@Vulcalien I own nanoboyadvance.io. Is there anything specific I would need to setup in terms of DNS entries?

If you want to verify NanoBoyAdvance, you will need to put a file at https://nanoboyadvance.io/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt.

Good news! I managed to write a functioning manifest file: https://github.com/Vulcalien/io.nanoboyadvance.NanoBoyAdvance Now I just need to set all the permissions, cleanup unused files to reduce download size etc... After that, I'll look into publishing to FlatHub.

On that note, does NBA need Internet connectivity for anything? I currently haven't enabled it in the flatpak file.

Great! Just a small heads up, I'm planning to release version 1.8 likely in a few hours, so it might be worth it to wait for that before publishing.

That's great! It should also fix a problem I'm encountering at the moment. I'll wait until the new version is out.
