When a user runs Supermodel for the first time or if for some reason the Config directory is not available in current Supermodel binary path, Supermodel fails to start because of the missing Supermodel.ini and Games.xml files.
It would be great if Supermodel can automatically create these two mandatory files in case they are missing.
This is sort of related to #6 so implementing this can solve that one as well.
Thanks.

We can remove the INI and XML file from the Config/ subdir (what happens when you extract a ZIP file with a subdirectory in a directory where it already exists but has more files than the ZIP file does?) and move them into a header file as string literals, similar to how shaders are handled. Then they can be directly emitted if necessary.
Hey @trzy , accidentally overwrote the Supermodel.ini again during update. Having to manually delete the default .ini from the archive every time before extraction/drag-n-drop is overall not the ideal UX, since it is very easy to forget even for seasoned users. The config system is already a learning curve for most users, and having it overwritten so easily can make them even more frustrated with an emulator they are already weary of due to its cmdline interface. I personally do not have the energy right now to re-create my own config. Have to refer to my own video tutorials haha.
Would be great if the above you mentioned can be implemented. Ideally, an app should always generate its config files when they do not exist, and do not generate them when they exist. With this behaviour, whether the .exe was executed for the first time or not becomes irrelevant, as the first thing the app will do is check for existence every time it is run. Most standalone emulators also do it this way.
