[Feature Request] LayeredFS replace entire directory suppressing existing contents

[fennectech]

Feature Request

What feature are you suggesting?

Overview:

• Replace entire directory contents with contents on SD

Smaller Details:

• I would like a way that i can replace the entire contents of a directory instead of just replacing / adding individual files in it so that files that were there are not seen by the game.

Nature of Request:

• Addition
  • Custom system modules.
  • Application-level patches to the Horizon OS.

Why would this feature be useful?

This would be useful to replace entire directories in games with different contents and completely suppress the existing files.

This seems like another way of wording the request we get sometimes to make files not visible to games.

I am really opposed to there being multiple sources of truth for overridden romfs data; representing file deletions via filesystem is hard to do cleanly.

Why is this actually desirable? Why do people ask for this instead of e.g. making code mods?

Because its simper There are some games that load all contents in a spesific directory and being able to suppress files without replacing them would be great

I don't actually agree or believe that it's simpler.

It’s easier to pull off for those with limited programming abilities.  It also is less maintaince for games with frequent updates.Sent from my iPad On Sep 6, 2022, at 12:33 PM, SciresM @.***> wrote: I don't actually agree or believe that it's simpler.
