🎀 qchdman — Qt CHDMAN GUI 🎀

okay bestie, this is the page for qchdman from the QMC2 User's Guide — section 6 of the manual, iykyk. let's get into it 💅

💖 NAME 💖

qchdman — the Qt CHDMAN GUI, a graphical CHDMAN front-end. yes, it's giving "graphical wrapper" and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qchdman [-config_path path]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, Qt CHDMAN GUI — or qchdman for short, we love a nickname — is one approach to creating a graphical user interface for chdman, which is MAME's Compressed Hunks of Data manager, and it's implemented as a tool you use purely from the command line. so basically qchdman is just a front-end, and the whole point is making it easier for not-so-technically-inclined users to even work with chdman. 🫶

but wait, there's more — at the same time it adds platform-independent scripting capabilities and ease-of-use features which should make it an interesting add-on for everyone. so even if you are comfy living in a terminal, bestie, it's still cute. ✨

for details, please see qchdman's wiki page at this URL: https://wiki.batcom-it.net/index.php?title=Qt_CHDMAN_GUI

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -config_path path — pass this argument to use the directory path instead of the default folder (~/.qmc2) to store qchdman's configuration. so like, if you want your config to live somewhere else, this is the way. 📁

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • ~/.qmc2/qchdman.ini — individual user's configuration. that's your personal config file, living its best life in your home dir. 🎀
