This project chooses OfflineList as base, but it is really old, so it has some limitations. Here are its limitations and workarounds.
Lacks runtime support on medern Windows
3 Solutions:
No HTTPS support
It only supports HTTP for URL, and GitHub Pages enforces HTTPS for its domain github.io
, so I use a custom domain laqieer.ml
to support HTTP access, otherwise it will fail to download images and check update. However the free domain is limited to one year, so I need to renew it before expiry date. In addition, the accessibilty of the domain is tested and reported in #1.
Limited language support
Its language
field only supports following languages:
1 = French
2 = English (US)
4 = Chinese
8 = Danish
16 = Dutch
32 = Finland
64 = German
128 = Italian
256 = Japanese
512 = Norwegian
1024 = Polish
2048 = Portuguese
4096 = Spanish
8192 = Swedish
16384 = English (UK) (only if English (US) already exist)
32768 = Portuguese (BR)
65536 = Korean
Therefore, other unsupported languages like Russian are marked in the title
or comment
field.
⚠️Inaccurate ROM check & missing entries
It doesn't support better checksums like MD5 or SHA1 like modern ROM mangers such as ClrMame Pro and RomCenter. It only supports CRC32, and CRC32 has a high hash collision rate, so its ROM check is inaccurate. For example, some FE7U based ROM Hacks like 108 - The Road to Ruin
, 113 - Requiem
, 114 - Fallen King
, and 122 - Fire Emblem Different Dimensions Ostian Princess 2.0
have the same CRC32: 2144DF1C
, so it cannot distinguish between them. It can only display the first entry and ignore the remaining entries with the same CRC32, so 108 is in the list while 113, 114, 117, 122, 123, 126 are missing in the list. In order to fix that, I do some little and harmless changes to those ROMs to make their CRC32 different, such as adding some extra bytes at end of file.
👉Notice: Edit ROM to avoid CRC32 collision accoding to the table please!
+ means to append bytes to the ROM
