Pack My Game (Discontinued)

[Axenn]

Hi everybody,

 

11/05/2021: Discontinued, see the new version.

 

it tooks more time than i expected but i finished the first version.

Currently it's an alpha, i need feedback. It's in debug mode with a window tracing all the work on the  game treated.

I link the github profile, there is all.

Current version Alpha10

PackMyGame x64

PackMyGame x86

Help on the git-hub page (wiki in progress)

What it do:

• It copies then compress everything about a game contained in the db of LaunchBox app.
• It generates a short xml file with the main information about the game
• It takes images, pdf manual, video, music, rom file.
• It takes also the cheatcode files if you fill the path ('GameName-.')
• It generates a tree view file.
• 7z and zip compression

Why ?

• Because as a french gamer i wanted to save everything i fill about my games and keep it for later, just in case there was a problem.

Note

• Use it only with roms.
• Don't move or delete files from the source (never)
• Ask before to overwrite roms, manuals, music, video that are in the working directory meanwhile the copy (the target directory)
• Currently it ask a global permission to overwrite for the image/pictures files, even if there is no image file in the the destination folder.
• The clones are added only if they are grouped with a main in LaunchBox
• Compression 7z and zip
