bicarus-dev 41d0dce6e9 cfg: use %appdata%\spice2x for new config files (#300)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change

For JSON config files of the following features:

* patch manager
* screen resize
* IIDX camera hook
* card manager

when saving a new file, store them in %appdata%\spice2x instead of
%appdata%.

On load:
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%\spice2x, use that (new path)
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%, continue to use that (legacy
path)

It's common for people to have mixed versions of spicetools/spice2x so
we'll continue to read from the %appdata% root if the files are there,
but with a preference for the new path. We will not forcibly move files.

spicetools.xml will continue to live in the %appdata% root. Moving this
will confuse a lot of people, so I'm avoiding this.

Also, this fixes `-patchcfgpath` and `-resizecfgpath` to create
directories as needed (previously the parent directory must have existed
first)

## Testing
Tested -

* existing config files are continued to be read from %appdata%
* new files get created in %appdata%\spice2x\... (both in spicecfg and
in overlay)
* can provide custom path for `-patchcfgpath` `-resizecfgpath` and
observe directories + file created in custom path, try absolute or local
relative paths

Features

List of supported games

How do I set up game data & start playing?

By policy,

  • we do NOT provide links on where to acquire game data
  • we do NOT provide tools or instructions on decrypting data
  • we do NOT provide guides on setting up & basic troubleshooting

please do not ask for these, as it will never happen here.

Submitting to the Issue Tracker

Please file bugs if you find them! If you just complain about something in Discord servers, we can't see them, so they'll never be fixed.

Rules for filing a new issue or adding comments to existing issues in the tracker:

  • Check the known issues page first before reporting a new issue. If you have some new information or workarounds for a known issue, you can file a documentation bug as well.
  • Use the search function and see if there is an existing issue.
  • This is not the place to obtain a guide or receive basic troubleshooting.
  • Don't file a bug demanding game XYZ to be supported.
  • Do not upload game data - any part of it, XML files included!
  • Do not mention or link to external websites that distribute game data!
  • Do not link to external websites that provide guides on how to run games!

New GitHub accounts are prevented from creating new issues to prevent spam. Maintainers of this project reserve the right to close or delete any issues that violate the rules above, or any low effort issues. If you ask for very basic troubleshooting help with setting up a game, we'll just delete them without warning.

Contributing

We encourage the community to submit bugs and suggestions via the issue tracker, and to contribute code changes by opening pull requests

If you want to resolve any reported (or not reported) bugs, implement features, add support for new games, or fix a known issue - feel free to reach out via the Issue tracker or by opening a Pull Request. All submitted code is assumed to be GPLv3 compliant.

We explicitly do NOT have a Discord server for dicussions - we try to do everything out in the open on this GitHub repo. That being said we haven't opened a Discussions tab here because we know it's going to be immediately filled with support requests.

Please see CONTRIBUTING page for a full list of guidelines when submitting code.
