Configuration

A configuration json file named config.json will be located in the luxtorpeda directory. It has the following paramters:

host_url - This is used to determine where the packages.json file is located remotely, for use in automatic updates of this file.
should_do_update - If this parameter is set to true, then the packages.json file will be updated automatically.

Supported titles

Just click "Play" and Luxtorpeda will download and install the package for you. You need to select Luxtorpeda as a compatibility tool first, of course.
