Changelog

v2.0.0

  • Rewrote the app using Borealis.
  • Transitioned to a new build tool: CMake.
  • Fixed #46 and #39.
  • Added a new page to preview the mod.
  • Implemented detection to check if a mod is compatible with SimpleModDownloader (in reality, I check if there's a romfs folder in the archive, as permitted by the GameBanana API).
  • Added a fix to prevent a crash that occurred when the mod contained special characters.
  • Reduced loading times and implemented multi-threading for improved performance.

  • Adds one icon on the top left for all game views.
  • Now, when you download a mod, you go back to the game view instead of the main view (thanks @Derro8).
  • Improves the URL formatting using curl_easy_escape; it fixes #22 and #23.
  • Adds detection when the SD is full and crashes the app.
