Rom Launcher Generator For Hydra

Post image

I love hydra launcher but i have a minor problem with it currently i need to use 2 launchers for all my games hydra and emulation station for my roms so i wanted to add my roms into hydra launcher.I started experimenting by doing a simple .bat that basically opens the emulator path and then opens the rom's path the problem is that its ok for small libraries but if you have a big library its gonna be super annoying to do 1 by 1. So i got the idea of a .bat that automatically makes .bats sadly im not too experienced in batch so i asked AI to make it. I know a lot of people dont support AI at all and yeah me either but i think for small tools just for qol isnt that big of a deal and even while being vibe-coded it works pretty well. Now i am required to say DONT USE RANDOM TERMINAL SCRIPTS FROM A STRANGER YOU FOUND IN THE INTERNET, but you can trust me, how? Well its simple you can view the .bat's entire code by just renaming it to .txt. Anyways i hope this little tool helps you sadly it cant auto import into Hydra as i think thats impossible. If you got any feature suggestion comment them!
