Nostalgia - Zamastyle

[Big_viz]

No worries about the sticking with it guys. This app was more than anything else a hobby effort because its something that I want personally. It will be improved upon unless I get hit by a bus, just has to wait for me to get situated after my move.

@Big_viz
Thanks for picking up my slack on answering questions. Always appreciated.


I should probably point out that I know the Zamastyle vs dra6onfire thing can be a bit confusing but I am the dev of Nostalgia. I'm not sure why I assumed people would just know that.

No worries man.
Credit where credits due.

Looks nice but didn't list my playstation games. I'm guessing it's because I have them in separate folders.

[dra6onfire]

Thats exactly why. Right now Nostalgia does not dig into sub directories. It wad an intentional choice but it seems popular to organize psx games into sub folders. I think next release will give users a choice to search into sub folders. Still considering how to handle that.

I might hang on then for the update then, I have all my psx roms in sub folders. I was going to take them all out again just for nostalgia but if you are going to support sub folders I might just hang on as I prefer subs 😋

I get the sub folder thing with psx games, I ended up just taking them out, though.

Semi-off topic question, though. Some PSX games have tons of files associated with them (like Mortal Kombat 3) and I found a way to convert all the files into 2 files, but it would take a lot of work to do that to every game I have....is there any easier way to go about it? Because Nostalgia (and Fpse) both show all the files as that game, so for instance in Nostalgia, I have like 6 Mortal Kombat 3's.

I know this is in no way a fault of nostalgia but because it does affect it, I thought i'd ask here.

Would it work if the PSX files are zipped instead of in folders? I haven't bothered, but could be an alternative...

[dra6onfire]

I have no idea if zipped images would be compatible with the emulators but it would be worth a shot.

@jeremy
How did you rip the disc image? If you rip it in the right format it shouldnt spit out a bunch of files. Email me a screenshot of the file list for one of these games so I have a better idea of what you are dealing with.

In my experience its best to unzip (roms seem less leggy) and I also combine the files so I'm left with 1 .bin and 1 .cue. I have found this to be the best method for psx games, this way they seem to run a lot better and generally have less issues.

I would say, people want to just organize movies, ROMs, books as they do with MP3: Artist/Album/Track, or Moviename/video, subtitles, cover art, etc., System/Archive or System/Game/ROM and Extras, Author/Title.

The reason for this is simple: file management with a file manager.

I can't claim it'd be easy or even possible, but this menu thingy, while nice looking, would only be useful to me if you can quit the game/emu directly back into the menu system.
