That is really handy to know, thank you for the information!You can use the function for media players to keep it awake while it's doing stuff like downloading. I can't remember what it's called
If you can't find the function I'm talking about, ask the authors of any media player or nsp installer, or browse their code for it.
That and maybe also holding the down or up button for faster scrolling. I’m not sure which buttons aren’t in use with app besides maybe R3 and L3, the trigger buttons, I think that’s what they are called.
The archive feature is awesooooome! When you add an archive repo, it prompts to select a folder. Does this simply read the existing folders from 
sdmc:/tico/roms ? I ask, as I have a n64 folder in there, and n64 roms load properly in tico, but they don't show in this dialog. I also notice that n64 wont show on the covers/backgrounds tab, it navigates to every console folder except the n64 folder. Some screenshots below, all the other folders show up. Appreciate the great work!/switch/ticobro folder, but it shows archiveCache_XZ_Console_Name.json with the additional underscores, and I think the they breaks its ability to parse the file.
I attempted to force-load the N64 source repository by adding JSON entries to archive_sources.json. Ticobro ignores the existing N64 folder and maps N64 ROMs to the GC folder instead. Also, the repository metadata fails to load, possibly because it's missing or unavailable.@TheStonedModder Love the app, thank you for the great work!sdmc:/tico/roms?

I also think there is an issue when archive.org has an underscore in the path when you add a repo. If you add an archive repo such as "XZ_Console_Name", where the URL has an underscore, it saves, and will download the metadata json, but, the UI is not able to load the json data and display. I can see the json metdata file in the/switch/ticobrofolder, but it showsarchiveCache_XZ_Console_Name.jsonwith the additional underscores, and I think the they breaks its ability to parse the file.
If the repo has anything other than a zip file or the rom directly. It will not work
ok so I’m not sure if wad downloads for wiiware could work on this but unless I added the links incorrectly that didn’t allow it, maybe it is more than just a zip file, so that will explain why it didn’t work.
I wasnt able to solve this in ticobro either, i recall they all download into the gc folder. You could manually move the files in dbi. This was one of the issues which had me create my own downloader ticoDL+
Dont want to hijack the ticobro thread, but my ticodl+ app will follow the roms folder as set in tico. I read it from the
\tico\config\general.jsonc file. If the "roms_path" is unset it defaults to \tico\roms. If its set from the tico UI, it uses whatever path the setting is saved in the config. You can also manually overwrite it to any folder you want, making it so that its not tico app specific.
