Hacking Question Xci naming

[Scottla94]

This question might be premature but i was wondering if anyone knows if xci backups will need a certain name to be recognized in a backup loader i.e. in the wii days a backup needed a certain name to be recognized in their backup loaders

I'd assume it just reads the internal header/metadata of game

Exactly what the person above me has said. It'll use the internal data from the rom file to get the icons and title of the game.

I left my folders the full name of the title but shortened the actual filenames to no longer than like 12-14 characters with no spaces just to make it easier/prevent errors for programs looking for the files. It probably won't matter but I come from a time when long paths and filenames with spaces broke things I will probably shorten the file folder names too before dropping them on the SD card.
