The manifests are indeed not arbitrary text. (The Flips thread is here, but PMs work too.) Hoping you can point me in the right direction. I see that it has options relating to manifest files, but I can't quite figure out the syntax of who that's supposed to work, and from some brief research it appears that these manifest files are something specific to bsnes/higan rather than arbitrary metadata.Īpologies for the PM, but I didn't see any other recent discussions about Floating IPS or this topic in particular. So far it looks great, but I can't figure out one part.īps/beat supports applying metadata to a patch, so I can embed the patch's README file or whatever else inside the BPS file.

I just discovered Floating IPS and am investigating it as an alternative to byuu's bps v02 utility for managing BPS patches (that older version is the last one I could get to reliably work from the CLI on Linux). If not, I hope you'll give some thought to perhaps adding it in the future. If I can accomplish something similar using the manifest functionality in flips then I'll switch over in a heartbeat as there are several definite advantages over the version of bps I'm using. Since then, I've converted all other patches in my collection to BPS just so I can embed the relevant metadata.Īnyway, I understand I likely won't change your mind about it's usefulness as we all have our own methods for dealing with this stuff, but just wanted to point out there's a use case you maybe hadn't considered. When byuu first started pushing BPS I appreciated many of it's technical improvements of the competition, but the metadata aspect is what truly sold me on it.
