Idea: Episode Title & Copy/Erase Options For Saves on Save Select Screen

[ChristianSilvermoon]

I always found it a little frustrating to have to manually copy/delete saves with an external program (File Manager, etc.) x3

This would be a very nice quality of life addition in my opinion

Example

EPISODE NAME

SLOT 1... 30  ★x1
SLOT 2... EMPTY
SLOT 3... EMPTY
COPY
ERASE

I have a plan to make that, thanks for making a note on that 🦊

[ChristianSilvermoon]

Awesome ^^

The first step: showing the episode title at the menu

Made just now!

Built: cf77a9f

Can confirm, works entirely as expected on
• x86_64 Linux Mint
• armv71l RetroPie
• aarch64 Mobian

Built with:

# Linux Mint (x86_64)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizRel -DENABLE_LOGGING=0 ..

# Raspbian/RetroPie (armv7l - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 - Piboy DMG)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizRel -DENABLE_LOGGING=0 -DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 ..

# Mobian (aarch64 - Pine64 PinePhone 1.2 )
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizRel -DENABLE_LOGGING=0 -DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 ..

Though I've noticed it allows you to "Copy" an empty file. The target file remains unchanged in this instance.

Good notice, I should reject an ability to select an empty file... You right! Right now I do reject the copying into the same file at least.

btw, about ARM32 (armv71l) the note that Bowser III'th is broken, however, I got fixed that recently by tuning the floating-point comparison calls that being used to verify the AI state of Bowser III'rd. However, that didn't happen on x86/x86_64 and ARM64...

Sent a fix to reject an attempt to copy the empty file

Tested out f3f58f8 and it works pretty well (only tested on desktop, this time tho)

Also, this feature is a life-important for Emscripten, because you literally has no direct access to the gamesaves store at all, because on how WebAssembly side cache storage works

Oh wow, that's a good point, I never even though about that, but yeah. Gosh, web assembly's an interesting tech to have.

btw, gotta update these builds here...

EDIT: Heck, something went broken, my game fails to properly start after an update gotta find the reason....

[Wohlstand]

They got fixed, but now they don't show the "click to start" title... that odd

[Wohlstand]

Anyway, the issue itself is solved 🦊
