Ninty Launcher - Database

Pull requests are welcome, but before doing so, read the section below.

How to

All entries are stored in the database.ini, every entry needs an icon associated with its index in its filename (icons are stored in icons/).

An entry example:

; {EntryType}

[EntryIndex]
title="The Game DX"
tagA="The_Game_DX.exe"
tagB="\The Game DX"
tagC="\The Game DX\Game.exe"

Requirements

Icons need to be in .png format and in 1:1 aspect ratio (i.e. a square), the minimum size is 256x256.
Titles can only be 32 characters long.
You can have up to 6 tags fo each entry: A, B, C, D, E, F.
Tags can never be the same, regardless of their entry index.
If the name of the executable is too ambiguous or generic (something like game.exe), use the \, Ninty will take into account the name of the folder to avoid tag conflicts.
Optionally you can put a forward=1 or shortcut=1 to make Ninty set the application type to one of these two automatically.
The {EntryType} field must be one of those listed bellow, choose the one that best fits your entry.
- {G} Games - The title says by itself.
- {M} Mods - Mods and loaders for official and unofficial games.
- {A} Applications - Focused on general users: applications for general purpose, multimedia, etc...
- {T} Tools - Focused on advanced users: tools for software development, game modding creation, etc...
- {E} Emulators - Exclusively for video game emulators.
