[Feature Request] Log installed games with no valid installed rom/exe

Open telanus opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Think this could help a lot of users.

If you use (IE) no-intro sets, and try to keep them up-to-date, or did a bit of restructuring of the directory structure of your games, it leaves quite a few games with no longer valid roms / executables. To sift thru a large library is quite a tedious undertaking to find that few game entries that no longer function.

All the searching could be negated by two ways,

  • while loading quickly check to see if all game entries are still valid and write a log that state which game entries are no longer valid.
  • a menu entry that the user could use that scan all the game entries to check their validity, and then display the log to the user.

The main drawback I can foresee for the first idea i that would slow down loading time quite a bit especially on larger game libraries.

I agree, this would be quite useful.
