/userdata/system/saves/catacomb
ROMs
Place your Directory in /userdata/roms/catacomb.
There are strict naming conventions: Only folders
Abyss_sw13AbyssArmageddonApocalypse- and
Cat3Dare allowed
Then place a .game file in each folder, this is also very restrictive and MUST contain the correct name the main directory name, too
Abyss_sw13–> Catacomb Abyss_sw.game (Shareware)Abyss–> Catacomb Abyss.gameArmageddon–> Catacomb Armageddon.gameApocalypse–> Catacomb Apocalypse.gameCat3D–> Catacomb Descent.game or Catacomb Cat3D.game
Sidenote: All filenames (gamedata…) have to be be capitalized. So cemetry.hnt –> CEMETRY.HNT for example
I've written a small script for this task, it will even create the correct game name for each folder but relies the named directories above do exists.
#!/bin/bash
# These 5 directories need to be available / crcerror
for i in Abyss_sw13 Abyss Armageddon Apocalypse Cat3D; do
if pushd /userdata/roms/catacomb/${i} 2>/dev/null; then
for f in *; do
mv -v -- "$f" "${f^^}"
done
touch "Catacomb ${i}.game" && echo "Created launch-file: Catacomb ${i}.game"
popd >/dev/null
else
echo "couldn't go to dir: '$i'"; continue;
fi
done
