“.updateinfo.txt” is data indicating the update location of the ROM.
For example, suppose you distribute a work called ROMNAME.ups.
In that case, “updateinfo.txt” with the same name is required.
ROMNAME.ups
ROMNAME.updateinfo.txt
“ROMNAME.updateinfo.txt” contains the name of the ROM and the update destination information.
When loading .gba file, FEBulderGBA also reads the corresponding “.updateinfo.txt” file, if one exists.
And provide automatic updates of your work.
See the other works that already support this mechanism for the specific setting method.
To update, two pieces of information are required.
The time of the latest version and the URL where the latest version can be downloaded.
Without the latest version time, you won’t know if your work has been updated.
If there is no downloadable URL, it cannot be updated.
“.updateinfo.txt” achieves this by analyzing the specified HTML with regex.
There are many ways to distribute “.ups”.
Therefore, the description method of “.updateinfo.txt” differs depending on the method you use.
I will write “.updateinfo.txt” instead if requested.
