################################################################################ # 2019/08/04 - PsychOS 3.4.6 - Putting PsychOS Installer on hold for RetroGrab # ################################################################################ I think I've decided to postpone the custom made PsychOS installer for a later version as it is taking up time for other neat projects I can be working on and it's current installer works just fine. For the past month, I've been working on a cool project called RetroGrab for making it easier to obtain older software and resources to be used with emulators such as DOSBox. It also displays information about the software and authors as well as any donation information and websites. Think of it like a package manager such as 'Synaptic Package Manager' but for older software and other resources. Software can be downloaded or installed and software that costs money and isn't abandonware will just have a website button. Installable software from RetroGrab will be installed in a way that can be accessed from a GNU/Linux applications menu (*.desktop + icon). However, this is only to be done locally. I also am making it so that RetroGrab won't run without Internet and can be quickly disabled if needed by checking a switch from a file on a Git repository. All of the software and install/remove information come from file on a Git repository so they can be easily changed, added, or removed as opposed to constantly having to update RetroGrab. I've also bee working on a Python script called 'img2qb.py' for converting modern images into a format (DATA) the QB45 (QuickBasic 4.5) can understand. I wiped "~/.CustomPsychOScripts" and replaced it with a Git repository version now know as "~/.psychostools". This way, I can at least keep what makes PsychOS up-to-date, or at least that it the hope. A menu item will be added to run the psychos-update script which may also update packages installed with apt and pip and other custom things.
