gbfs-web is a webapp developed for and tested with 4-e, a Game Boy Advance homebrew application that can emulate an e-Reader for Super Mario Advance 4.

By following the simple steps in the app, you can take any ROM that supports GBFS, select files to attach, and save a new ROM with those files attached.

Everything is done locally in your browser. No ROM or file data is sent to or received from any server.

-== User guide ==
-Go to https://mattiebee.app/gbfs-web.
-Or, open index.html directly.
-=== Differences ===
-One key difference between GBFS files made by gbfs-web and [https://github.com/devkitPro/gba-tools/blob/054d507f90d32784274b6cf7e03f1c43d02d7a57/src/gbfs.c the original gbfs tool] is that gbfs-web does not bother to pad the objects in the GBFS file. I did not see a use for it, and 4-e (which uses [https://github.com/dmdemoura/libgbfs/blob/4230f4b6221af557210393c84bbc1494e1e4bcb0/source/libgbfs.c libgbfs]) does not appear to have any issues with it, even when loaded with lots of files.
-gbfs-web does not currently pad the base ROM. The original tool doesn't either, but the original distribution did include a tool called [https://github.com/devkitPro/general-tools/blob/46086605cdc63fb02ba0ed08cdc00801ba00c6f0/padbin.c padbin] which does do this. 4-e's build process includes a step to pad to 256 bytes, libgbfs' default stride, so it did not seem necessary here, but it could be added.
-If folks encounter issues due to these differences, gbfs-web can be changed accordingly. Please check to see if using the original tools solves the issue before filing bugs or submitting changes.
