Kanbaru π (one hikari of too many)
emulator developer folks: is there an off-the-shelf software package suitable for an app compatibility database. I don't want to use a wiki and I don't want to use an issue tracker.

@0xabad1dea @hikari Today (that is 2023-08-30) I finally got rid of a Windows XP machine at a client that was running some EDI software written in a mishmash of batch files, Visual FoxPro, Delphi (and as I found out) Access. (the software is sadly still running, except it's now on a Windows 10 machine)

FYI: i'm probably gonna write my own software for running an app compatibility database for an emulator. it won't be very complex initially, but it will be open-source and somewhat customisable, so who knows, maybe it'll be useful to someone else down the line

I started writing my own to use for touchHLE. it's going to be very lightweight, because the existing solutions weren't practical for me, but customisable, because I want this one to be practical for others. still very unfinished

I think I figured out how to do sessions in PHP in the spirit of the GDPR and e-Cookie law (but maybe not the letter, I didn't check)

@hikari that's a very funny implementation lmao
semi relatedly still contemplating how i want to implement a big-print program in js, ideally supporting vectors and pdfs, but doing so would turn it from a weekend to do it with canvas and images to at least a week
