Background downloading is not a bad idea in general- and we already implemented a HttpClient in FSDPlugin - which is how LiNK currnetly works.  But to answer your question- downloading isn't persistent strictly because of resources available.  Yeah, of course Microsoft implements background downloading- but they also have the full amount of kernel/xam space they need to work with it.

 

Anything we add is strictly OVER AND ABOVE what Microsoft included.  We don't get those resources back because we happen to not be able to use them.   

 

Downloading TUs and artwork are doable if we download directly to disk; however we dont have the resources to implement a full SQLite library in the plugin; so we won't be able to update our database- that means we need to download to a cache folder and rescan that cache at aurora boot to make sure the database gets updated.  This means we have to interrupt a download because once its alraedy started somewhere, we have to cancel, move and relocate it.

 

Personally, I can see about 10 other features that would be time better spent on  

 

Thanks for the input for sure- we are always reading and always thinking about your ideas.

It's possible to upload your own background and cover via USB? That will give even MORE personalization to the games for sure.

Maybe It's late BUT better later than never...

kind regards to everyone.

I love the idea. Maybe it could be possible as the function of the button B (keep pressing) when you already had a disc inside with the exception that it will have the icon and name of the last game played.

Perhaps it's late BUT also is a very good update needed to avoid the annoying search function EVERY TIME.

Kind regards.
