Is it possible to incorporate support for subdirectories in WBFS? It'd be nice to organize games by genre, etc, by placing ISOs in different subfolders.

That would be easier done in a loader, if enough people want, some one will add to one of the existing loaders. It be cool in the coverflow one. But wouldn't be hard to add to any of the current one, since you'd add a text file describing the genre, like the renaming or graphic linking or etc..

I don't want to add tags to ISOs, etc. I'm talking about creating actual folders on the WBFS partition.

No, that wouldn't be possible without reworking WBFS entirely. The only thing that could happen is to have a loader that would allow you to define a "directory structure" that it would emulate when you browsed through your game.

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
