[Feature] Support peripheral XCI metadata files

Open monyarm opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

With the advent of the Mig Switch Dumper, I think oxyromon should also support the peripheral files that the dumper creates, as it doesn't just dump ROM.xci, it also does ROM (Card ID Set).bin, ROM (Card UID).bin, ROM (Certificate).bin ROM (Initial Data).bin. So it would be great if when it renamed files oxyromon would also catch those files, and rename them too.

Sorry about the late reply, I seem to have lost a few emails due to my server acting up. I will look into it, I think I need to revamp how I handle external files, right now the only allowed external files are playlists, and support is fairly specific. I need to come up with something more generic. Are these names final and reproducible?

I don't yet own a Mig Switch Dumper, but from the reviews I've seen, those seem to be the names

The initial area is included in No-Intro DATs with the suffix (Initial Area).bin. It is part of the cartridge image and was only excluded due to historical reasons, and newer dumps additionally include a full XCI with the initial area prepended.

The other three files differ between individual cartridges, and are thus not included in DATs. The card IDs are included as a comment in DAT-o-Matic, however.
