Mesen 2 x Plugin x LaunchBox (Automatic Updates)

[Alan Ribas]

Hello...

With the help of an AI, I managed to create a plugin for the Mesen 2 emulator (version 2.1.1) for automatic updates used in LaunchBox through the emulator manager.

It's 90% functional. The plugin:
- Shows the current version of the emulator.
- Downloads the latest version and installs it.
- But after installation, the status field, which displays the cloud image, doesn't disappear.


Can anyone refine this code to improve it?

If it's of any consequence, and in the spirit of staying away from using technical terms as requested in your other post;  Unless you've told Mesen to not check for updates (by default, it does check), when you go to launch a game and there is an update available, the emulator will notify you and can install it for you.

Granted, it does "get in the way" when you just want to play a game.  But in a way, it does beat having to periodically go into Manage -Emulators to check and if there is an update.

What you said makes perfect sense.

But I just wanted to contribute to the development of LaunchBox with what I can do. Could you recommend someone to help me with this? Because if it were up to me, there would be an update plugin for the entire emulator present in LaunchBox. It's a frontend that I'm really enjoying using.
