Add button to hide DLC #12

Closed codegax closed 2 years ago

codegax commented 2 years ago

All DLC have the edit launch menu greyed out but it would help to have a button to be able either to hide or display the DLC.

This would help fix some games that detects the erroneous DLC and fails to boot up.

Hmmm... such as? I don't see how hiding the DLC will make a game not detect it.

Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. There are some people already using this tool but with workarounds like this one to solve the issue.

Apparently it didn't solve the issue right? I saw that Assassin's Creed thread a while ago, you're setting the wrong thing on the file. According to that post, you should be setting the showcdkeyonlaunch var to 0 on the extended section. I believe this is a setting that's going to be used to sparsely that it's better off to just let it sit as a modification you can do through the JSON.
