GBAtemp Chrome App

[chyyran]

Spent like 10 minutes on this one, mainly just 'shopping the background out of the logo.

​

Just right click on the 'temp logo, click "Save link as" then drag it into Chrome once it's done downloading.

It has to be that way, or you'll get an error saying "Apps must be served with content type application/x-chrome-extension".

Spoiler: Reason

It's just that way, if it's not hosted on a server with special HTTP headers. Obviously, dropbox doesn't.

you should speak to the admins about this, they might like the idea.

It's just a glorified bookmark, nothing special.
I made it because I wanted one myself, might as well share it.

i think it would have been better imo if it link to http://gbatemp.net/index instead of http://gbatemp.net//

 

[chyyran]

Should point to http://gbatemp.net/ now.

And it's... installed. Thanks.

Wrote it myself.

It was surprisingly simply, just an icon and a small json code, which I took from a site and modified for my own uses, just had to change the URLs.

If you're interested, here it is

{
"name": "GBAtemp.net",
"description": "Underground Gaming Community",
"version": "1.0",
"icons": {
"128": "128.png"
},
"app": {
"urls": [
"http://gbatemp.net/"
],
"launch": {
"web_url": "http://gbatemp.net/"
}
},
"permissions": [
"unlimitedStorage"
]
}

128.png is the icon.

Then I just packaged it into a nice neat crx through Chrome's built in packager.

And it's... installed. Thanks.

No prob.
