so many issues o_o

Tried to use my own program to download the files for an a9lh installation. Didn't get 1 minute in before I saw two big problems lol. 1. messages are being written to the status window when the file doesn't match the selected region/type/firmware (easy fix), 2. starter.zip had its contents extracted to my C drive instead of the folder the program was being run from (even though the zip itself gets saved to the right place). I already fixed a similar problem, but I have soooo much file saving and extracting code everywhere that is similar but not exactly the same, it's hard to keep track of (torrents have different code for extracting zip and 7z files, and so do normal file downloads, plus the saving of non-archived files). It has grown terribly by the bad practice of just fixing things as they come up, manually adding or subtracting slashes or whatever just to make it work, so now it's really hard to follow and work out what's going on so issues can be fixed o_o I should scrap it all and write something proper but that's such a daunting prospect...
Definitely not release time yet lol

Just give it time, for the current time people should manage to use a torrent client to get the files they need. Goodluck with your program though!

Coding can get messy, especially when you are start debugging. most of the time the mess is caused by our laziness. Like @proflayton123 says it takes time. It's easier to break bad habits when you are starting up then later on. Try to be consistent in your coding, and formatting. And always leave comments.

    Most emulators will be like that where it asks for a parent directory
