Benefits of this feature.
Updates are one-click, so it’s very easy.
Players can easily get the latest version of the game.
Even if the zip file of your work is reproduced on any site, the user can update to the latest version.
You can make a link to your development community.
You can write the URL of your community in updateinfo.
Unzip is also done automatically.
This function supports rar, zip and 7z formats.
Extract of ups is also done automatically.
If you put the vanilla ROM in the FEBuilderGBA directory or the emulator directory, the vanilla ROM is automatically selected.
Problem: discord
If you are distributing the development version on discord as a community, automatic updates are not available.
This is because discord requires a login.
I hope that discord will be able to read only without login like twitter.
