Symlink support

[AlexMC]

I tried it in my RG35XX SP, and it worked flawlessly, even though I have a vast collection in RomM.

My setup is a bit particular as the folders RomM are scanning have symlinks and not the full games; this was done to respect the folder structure RomM expects without duplicating the collection.

The issue is that when I select the download function in the RomM app in muOS, I get the symlink, not the game...

Is there a way around this?

My games are sorted using the No-Intro dat files and I use Igir to create the symlinks to feed RomM.
If it helps this is my Iggir script:

npx --yes igir@latest link clean report \
--dat "./No-Intro*.zip" \
--dat-name-regex-exclude "/encrypted/i" \
--input "./No-Intro/" \
--output "./romm/roms/{romm}" \
--report-output "./romm report %YYYY-%MM-%DD %HH:%mm:%ss.csv" \
--single \
--prefer-language EN \
--prefer-region EUR,WORLD,USA,JPN \
--prefer-good \
--prefer-revision-newer \
--prefer-retail \
--prefer-parent \
--symlink

Is the direct download functionality from the RomM website working as expected, or does it also retrieves only the symbolic link? If that doesn't work either, this issue is not specific to the MuOS app, and should be reported in RomM instead.

You're correct. I had never used the download from the website as it's not something I need, but it also downloads the symlink; I'll take it up with them.
Thanks!
