[Request] Add Link for Obtainium

Opened this issue · 4 comments

What should happen

If possible, create/allow a link for development builds to be input into Obtainium. If someone uses Gold as a separate "stable" install, this allows users to keep up to date on experimental new features and releases to test for bugs (or otherwise be nosey Nancys). Even better if perhaps the builds attached to this link could be signed as "PPSSPP Dev" as a separate app, but I don't even begin to understand how much that might affect things, haha.

Who would this benefit

Seeing as it requires specific effort to set up to do this, anyone who downloads these versions should still be aware that it might have negative effects and wouldn't necessarily start flooding the github or discord with bug reports or whatnot out of misunderstanding.

Personally it would benefit me a lot because I am Lazy but like keeping up with progress and improvements.

Platform (if relevant)

None

Games this would be useful in

N/A

Other emulators or software with a similar feature

Checklist

Never heard of Obtainium. Not sure what I need to do to get it on there?

Sorry for the confusion. It isn't about getting "on" there, it's about having more of a singular link to put into the system that will read when there's an update and auto-update. Kind of like a custom made playstore for github links and other projects. Would this explain it better? https://wiki.obtainium.imranr.dev/app_tracking/

OK, so we would need to set up some kind of app source: https://wiki.obtainium.imranr.dev/sources/

Just to be clear, you'd want it to update for every single little development build? Maybe we can have it read https://builds.ppsspp.org/meta/history-20.json somehow, although the page says nothing about json.

I would indeed like it to read dev builds, otherwise I could point it at the github's release page, right? Unfortunately I don't know enough about website dev or whatnot to suggest specifics. I do know another project I follow uses https://rayshift.io/betterfgo/link/na for instance, and whatever is on that page works for Obtainium.
