Hello everybody,
I am new in the forum and a recent owner of an Everdrive N64 v3.0.
As a new guest I came with a present and I would like to share you a small script for Linux users that sorts the games into folders.
But please be easy with these lines code that I wrote even if I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER!!! I am only a copy-paste user.
So use it carefully and feel free to share critics!
Main process:
* Select a folder
* Search for ROMS, that is to say files having the following extensions in this folder but not in the subfolders:
".bin" ; ".jap" ; ".n64" ; ".N64" ; ".pal" ; ".rom" ; ".u64" ; ".v64" ; ".usa" ; ".z64" ; ".d64"
* Move all ROMS found in folders named A to Z. But all ROMS that have names starting with a number are placed in one folder named "0-9"
Exit functions:
* By the user while choosing the folder to parse
* If no ROM found
#!/bin/bash

* Added all extensions searched (initially only ".n64")
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_ROM_file_formats* Correction of the "folder" variable, it was not compatible with "space"
Edit#2 25/08/2018:
* Added a prompt with info before moving any file
* Added a progress bar while moving files, it gives the possibility to stop the work during the loop
